Nice! We have the C-6’s & C-9’s bought new in the way back time lol - Running them with the Onkyo 504 Amp, preamp, cd, cassette, and a streamer. They have been through a few moves, storage and they sound great! If you take care of them they will last for a very long time, enjoy them!

I found it quite difficult to find any information on them, but they have an impressive frequency response of 30Hz-25kHz and are made in Canada. I paid 150$ for them and they’ll become part of my very first setup. Are there any previous or current C-6 owners that have some advice on how to get the most out of these? Picture is the previous owner’s setup.

I owned a pair for 15+ years Keep them several feet off the back wall and away from side walls. Give them good power. I had an old Adcom GFA-5400 125 WPC amp. They had pretty good bass. When I upgraded to 300 WPC Emotiva monoblocks, it was like getting all new speakers. I was running an Aragon 18K Mk II preamp.

Why so much work?

you take the speakers i’ll accuphase baby!

API made many competent, even great, speakers. They knew all the tricks and had a long run with the Mirage and Energy brands. Mirage specialized in Bipolar radiators and Omni-sats and Energy in front firing and monitors. All veterans of the Floyd Toole/ NRC mill, like PSB and Paradigm.

I have a pair of C-9 and RC-70s and love them as a budget audiophile play. It’s a lot of speaker for the money and availability in Canada was good.

With Dirac, they become exceptional!

I have 2 pairs of these bookshelves. They do great work

I have the Energy Take series in my 5.1 setup. With the right sub pairing they disappear into the movie, and they’re unobtrusive.

I remember these Connoisseur series speakers sounding kind of soft and bland in treble/midrange, far more than their higher-end series. They can be synergized with amplification that has more of “detailed, neutral” balance IMO.

I have a pair of C5’s in maple finish. They are fantastic. I really enjoy listening to music on them, they have great low end. And the midrange tweet combo works pretty well too
