If I had a choice between Fluance + Dayton vs Onkyo speaker set, I think I'd take the Fluance set.

If Fluance is without sub, I would still get it if I intended to add a sub later.

They are both going to be good for the price.

I couldn't tell you how different they would be from one another.
 
And concerning the manual..you can just get that off the internet. Really, after you read up on a few things..get to know the receiver..you wont need it for more than a reference tool.
 
49hz isnt that high, its not tremendously low, but its still proper bass.....

if the speakers can go loud enough 49hz will still give a nice thump.....

it wont sound 'light' if the speakers are reasonably well made.....i know because i have some Mission 700 bookshelfs, they are 50hz at the lowest, and they give a lovely bass response....

What reason would u get the AV's over the onkyo's? Better quality? Specs better?
Click to expand...

I know the AV set is pretty good for the price.

The Onkyo HTIB sets are known for having nice receivers but the speakers being pretty average.

I haven't done a direct comparison of the two to get into detail about differences.

Yeah, the only reason I need mine is when I can't get to the back of the receiver but I need to know which input on it corresponds to what (like which composite video input from the edge is "video 3" etc).
 
OK but what about it with that sony rx i talked about on page 2 or so? If i get the SIX HTB set i wont have enough for a rx also.

This is still page 2 for me (you can set how many posts per page)

Could you remind me what you're talking about? Was this a free prologic receiver?
 
Its a Sony STR-DE415 it has front left/right center and rear left/right so would be enough for the SIX+ set then around x-mas ill get a new rx and sub.
