Hi all. I'm in the process of completing my home theater speaker setup. I have a chance to pick up some fluance bipole surrounds (AVBP2) for 60 or less. These had good reviews online. Anybody have experience with fluance speakers? Do these match well with Polk even though they are not polks ? Here's my speaker setup so far...

Polk tsi100 fronts
Polk cs10 center
Polk psw110 sub

Any input would be helpful. Thanks a mil :-)
My Setup: Denon AVR X3600h, Polk Signature S50 Fronts w/ S30 Center and S15 Rears, LG UBK90 4K Player, TCL 6-Series 65”4k TV

    Not exactly a favorite brand around here so I doubt you'll get many responses. Look for some used Polks to fill that position. BTW, how big is the room you have this system in ?

    No way? That's just crazy and if true that little Canadian speaker company will be rolling in the money so good on them.

    To the OP, If your asking a bunch of hardcore audiophiles if a diff lesser speaker will match up the answer is no. If is always best to stick to the same brand as its what the engineers at Polk intended

    I see the listing, thats kinda cool that they landed a deal with one of the biggest retailers in the country. From what I read online they aint all that bad for the price you pay

    Wow didn't think Walmart online sold those kind of items. Well I found out today that I can purchase a pair of monitor 30s for the same price as the fluances. Most likely a better match up. The setup is in my living room 15 'x 20'.

    Don't knock them - they're really not that bad. I use to have the SX system before I discovered Polk and for the money, they did quite well. I kinda miss them, actually.

    According to what I read online fluance seems really good for the money. I just liked that they were bipole speakers and they were a good price.
