I just picked up 4 towers and a center channel, haven't even hooked them up yet. Reviews seem to be mixed but most of the bad ones refer to them as overpriced. These weren't.

Anyone familiar with them?

    Any chance they were originally sold from the back of a white van?

    I tried them out with a little music and then a Blu-ray. Most of the use on the HT is movies. I like them. The center is excellent for dialog, the bass and highs are better than the RT800s on the towers.

    I know these speakers, and Not to be confused with Fluance. I believe my dad still has one of their subs in his home theater. These certainly were over priced when new, and were very popular here. They made a really nice cabinet, with cheap parts. I owned a pair when I was a budding audiophile, and really liked them when I had them. From what I remember is was excessive warranty claims that put them out of business. Lol

    mikeyb128, that's what I have seen online. Definitely overpriced if the numbers I saw were correct. They sound very good, but not thousands good. Some compared them to Bose because of the cost-to-sound ratio.
