Got a new reciever, suddenly realize I need new speakers. P.S. I'm an idiot.

There's a trend going around from ppl saying these speakers sound go and you should go for it .... not . It can sound good to them , do they sound good to you ??? The most important is to audition has much speakers as you can and decided what sounds best withing your budget .

It's a good suggestion Fornando but the thing is Energy is sold at FS and Fluance at Best buy so it's hard to get a good side by side comaparaison but I am confident the Fluance sounds just as good. Either way for the price they are both great deals.

He was refering to the Energy set at $299 at FS as being Energy/Jamo as they are rebranded Jamo speakers.

Alright, that's good to hear. I'm a pretty savvy buyer for most things, but I'm just in over my head here so I don't want to make any assumptions. Thanks again.

Yup, you're right, and also I did actually go to both Future Shop and BestBuy (in Toronto, Dundas Square) and they didn't have any of the sets I was looking for out to try (in fact, I didn't even see any boxes for them floating around).

I am a musician, so I know the "Get what sounds good" mantra for guitar amplifiers, and I would normally wait and follow it, but the sale ends now and I've not the time.

Going to go have some lunch and mull over my decision a bit more, and then I'll come back and render the verdict for you guys.

Any last minute advice would be great if anyone thinks they have more to share!

Thanks again everyone.

P.S. Thought I'd mention it's not just because I'm cheap that I'm being so careful and anal retentive about something so monetarily low, it's also because my girlfriend and I do a lot of charity work and I'm dealing with some buyers guilt when I could be putting the money into our groups, haha.

But I just keep telling myself that you've got to treat yourself from time to time!

So thanks for putting up with me.
