The Energy RC-10 is a compact bookshelf speaker that fits in the middle of those offered by Energy. Although this speaker stands only 13" tall, it is capable of delivering an incredibly big, accurate sound for movies, music or your favorite video game. It can handle up to 175 watts RMS which is used to drive the 1" aluminum dome tweeter and 5-1/2" kevlar ribbed elliptical surround woofer for crisp, accurate mids/highs and deep bass. The stylish black ash veneer finish will look great anywhere whether it is wall mounted or sitting on a shelf. Included with the speaker is a removable black grill cloth and rubber bumpers.
