Fluance Speakers [message #14845]

Hi guys
I was wondering if anyone had any comments on the Fluance speakers sold on e-bay. Home theater systems selling for about $250 seems to be too good to be true. Does anyone have any personal experience with them?
Thanks
Ron Brady

HI Ron,
I have no idea, but anyone selling brand new home made speakers for that cheap reminds me of the guys in the parking lot who have these great speakers in their van to sell you at amazingly low prices.

For future reference there are a number of web sites that address this issue. One of the best is at the link below.

You can search through reports by "brand" name and find out just how bad those great DOGG Digital speakers really are

Ah yes, my experience with the great white van specials: They bought to many for a PA install and didn't need them anymore. Such a deal for you on piece of S--t speakers. HAHA, and no I never bought any because I seen right through the scam from the begining. But it's fun to give them a hard time about there speakers and watch them sweat a little.

The ones they tried selling me were PA speakers, MDF or maybe Particle board, carpet covered, 2-12" woofers and a motorola piezo tweeter, little label on the front showing a freq. response flat from 50-17K, $400 a pair is what I talked them down to, such a deal for you. I don't think so. Then they started sweatin it when I brought up a x-over to the piezo, duh "Only the highest quality componets are used" is what they said, when I knew they probably didn't even have a x-over in them at all.

Unfortunately, IMHO, much of the audiophile industry has even more obscene markups than the white vans specials that sold for $500 with $100 of parts!
$10000 speakers with $50 tweeters anyone?
