From Energy I have heard the RC-10, excellent bookshelf in the $450.00 range.
I own T45's, after auditioning speakers from Klipsch, Monitor Audio, Paradigm, Vienna Acoustics, and Dali. They are no Vienna's or Dali, but also cost $1K less than those two. They gave Monitor Audio RS6 a run for the money, but considering the RS6 price is $1k/pair, and I bought T45 for $515.00/pair (black, you can get maple for $499.00), I have to say they are an excellent buy, and probably the best buy for around $500.00/pair.
I highly recommend T45, but audition both and compare, see what you think.

Paid $1146.00, plus shipping, for a complete set of black T45/C40/B15. At the end they shipped B25 at the B15 price, as they had ran out of B15's and it would be 4 days for them to get their new shipment in. That is what I call service.
I WANT TO CORRECT THAT THE T45 IN BLK WERE $599.00, NOT $515.00.
The same set in maple would cost $947.00 + freight.

Try https://dmc-electronics.com/Main.asp .
They are close to you (on Brookhurst in Garden Grove)
They have 'factory sealed' T45's for $499 (orT55's for $599) with "Minor Cosmetic Blemish".
It would certainly be worth looking at.
I liked the T45's as well, but loved and bought the Monitor Audio RS6.

I got a question that is slightly off-topic... can anyone give any insight into how the PSB T45/T55's and the Energy RC-10's sound in comparison to Klipsch RF-82's? I really love the sound of Klipsch, but I was wondering if there is a less expensive alternative.
First the RC-10 is bookshelf, comparable to PSB B25. The T45/55 are better sounding than the RC-10 as they benefit for larger cabinet, dual drivers, etc.
The RF is a floorstander like the T's. If you like Klipsch you need to audition this PSB's, as they have many of the good characteristics of the Klipsch, but leave out those extreme highs that can get tiresome after hearing Klipsch for a long time.
