Wow great deal,

I heard these are rebranded JBL speakers, which is why they sound so good.

Recently bought a set for my bedroom at Fry's for $129. Nice sound for the money...real bargain. Even good at $199 I'd say.

So which is it? 😕

I picked these up at Fry's a month ago on clearance for $99!

I did listen to them instore and thought they sounded very good, so at home they should sound excellent. I Haven't set them up yet so I can't personally comment on the sound quality. However all information I have ever seen regarding these speakers is overwhelmingly positive.

I have now hear that they are either rebadges Polk or JBL speakers, but I do not know what the truth is.

Does anyone else have any other information on these speakers, like sound quality, or anything else?

Which would a person be more happy with, these Onkyo speakers or the Fluance speakers for $200 + shipping?

 

[MrHappyMonkey]

these speakers come with the hts-650 amp/speaker bundle forom shoponkyo.com. They are really great speakers. The sub puts out plenty of bass even though it is only 8". good deal if you don't need an amp, if you do, goto shoponkyo.com, create an account account and buy the hts-650 for $329.

Note the Fluance set doesn't come with a sub, which you may or may not need. The Fluance mains actually have pretty good bass to begin with.

any idea where I can find these ?

it seems that neither circuitcity nor fry's have these anymore 🙁
they have it at onkyo, but I was looking for a B&M store.

These sound great, just wish I could find them. 🙁 Anyplace that ships to NYC?
