i am looking to upgrade to some new tower speakers for my surround system. i have been looking a lot at these Fluance speakers (im not sure of the model, but they are the most expensive ones). the speakers i have so far are two polk audio's(the R10 series) for rears, one acoustic research AR-2C for my center(a kick as$ speaker), and one Klipsch RSW-12"(also one hell of a sub)...and for music, i have added to extra infinity bookshelves, the entra 1 series. i would like to know if anyone has any opinions or advice to give regarding why or why i should not buy these Fluance tower speakers. the specifications i've read so far on the fluance's seem to be pleasing, but i haven't read that many opinions on them so far. thanx to anyone in advance for helping:)
Follow Ups:
The most important aspect in selecting speakers for a HT package is in matching timbre.How do you do this? Stick with speakers from the same line of the same manufacturer. Perhaps you could match the Polks most readily...
The spec's on a speaker aren't any way to judge whether they are good or whether you'll like them. You have to HEAR them to do that. Is there any place where you can go and listen to them? Maybe even compare them side by side to other reliable entry level speakers from PSB, Paradigm, Mirage etc...I did a Google search on "Fluance speakers," finding a few sites with prices. I would be skeptical of ANY 3-way 4 driver speaker on sale for $269 USD! And IMO many others here would be too.
If you do a search on them in the speaker archives here, you won't find much info. You won't find a review of them here either http://www.skimaire.net/m/audio/fsm938.htm and that is odd because tons of other speakers are there.
I'd be cautious, rickydstp. Maybe go to a reputable dealer and have a listen to some of their models.
thank you Chr3is...your advice and helpfullness is something that i NEED to have in order to be confident before making an important purchase such as buying tower speakers!
