Fluance AVHTB Any good? Help me out - Blu-ray Forum

Owen Lol · 10-10-2009, 10:54 PM

I'm really clueless when it comes to knowing what makes speakers good. Are these any good? Worth the price? If not, where can I get good speakers for a good price?

Thanks

I know cnet rates them "very good" but I know a lot of people hear don't respect cnets reviews. How much are you looking to spend? Are you looking for towers? What receiver do you have?

Well to be perfectly honestly I have no idea what a receiver is or what it does so I really can't help myself there. But I'm in the range of anywhere up to $300.

Do a search, I have reviewed these speakers twice with pictures.

If you don't know what a receiver is you have some reading to do before you even think about buying speakers. search around on this site or others to find out the basics on how a home theatre system works. Once you do a little studying you'll be far better prepared to find what's right for you.

Why don't you provide a link then, so he can look at your reviews!

Hate to say it, but it wouldn't provide me with a lot of confidence!

A few years ago I believe it was 2004, I purchased my 1st 7.1 receiver the Pioneer VSX-1015s I was running a 5.1 set of Mission 700's w Mission sub, didn't have much money but needed mains to complete the 7.1. Stumbled across a Fluance site with a CDN retailer I believe it was Oakville Sound (the one that is no longer in business) and they offered them as mail order. Called them up and ordered a pair of floorstanders for about $200 - had them within a week - now I have to say that they were not bad at all for entry level mains and well worth the money I paid for them.

With that being said - if I knew then what I know now I would save my money and go to Audiogon or Canuck Audio (if in Canada)

Nice price, but I'd spend my money elsewhere.

Sorry for the late reply (just read this)...

I can vouch for Fluance speakers. I had the SXHTB and they were actually pretty good (compared to other cheap speakers). I have no problem recommending them. However, avoid the subs (unless you like boomy - Honda Civic from 3 blocks away - sound).
