I saw the local time and thought it was when this was posted, sorry. Marc

I own the Fluance SX-HTB set, and the fronts do not have a subwoofer. They are only a 2-way speaker, so I would say it does not have the short comings Rory is talking about. I have been and still am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I would suggest adding a subwoofer to the set, but other...

I am the happy owner of the SX-HTB. I have not heard the Onkyo speakers, but the FLuance are everything I was looking for. I built my own sub, so that took care of the missing sub. I hear that a lot of people like the dayton 10" 100watt sub from parts express. I think it is like $100.00. That is...

Fluance are not white van speakers. Fluance is in no way trying to trick anyone into buying their speakers. They are not marketing their speakers as high end and then deciding to give you a good deal. I have no idea why you (Rory) hate Fluance so much, but I own a set of the SX-HTB, and I...

I have to disagree with one statement. You do not get what you pay for. I paid $259.00 USD, and I honeslty do not think I will find a better set of speaker in that price range. I beleive I got more then what I paid for. I know these are low end, so I bought them knowing that. Marc

I honestly can't complain about the SX-HTB. I bought it for the price to performance everyone was talking about. It doesn't make much sense to me that they didn't voice match all 5 speakers, but what do I know. Upgarding the center channel in the future would be an option because I could use...

I just got mine yesterday. Hooked it all up and realized that 50' of speaker cable does not go that far. My left surround is about 6 feet away from were it should be, and will remain there until I get to home depot. Let me first start by saying these are a beautiful looking set of speakers...

I would think this would just pressurize your house? If you have an intake you need and exhaust, right? Marc

Frank, I am building a similar sub. I have bought the PE beech laminate. Did you round your edges on the sides? It looks like you did. Does this make is easier to use one piece of laminate to cover all the sides? Do you not mind the grain of the wood going side to side instead of front to...

From my understanding if you listen to a lot of music you are better off with the floor stands because most often then not they hit low notes better. In stereo mode the sub will not be used. Marc

I have been told that crossing at 90 degrees will not effect the wire, but a parrallel run is not a good idea. I was also told to keep at least a stud between the electrical outlet and the speaker wire outlet. There might be some alternatives like putting a conduit in. This would sheild the...

I have seen in Lowes a dustless drywall sanding system. I have no idea how well it will work, but it looks like it uses a water tank or something. It might be worth a shot? I am sure HD also will have it. Sorry I do not know the name of it. I didn't care about dust when I was finishing some...

Brad I stand corrected. The Fluance web site states they are "Matched Five Speaker System for Home Cinema", but it doesn't state what they match. It could be that they just all look the same. Beech I have not heard them yet. I bought them because of the price and I have honestly not read a...

Hmmm makes me think. They say this on their web site. Does that mean voice matched or that they all have the same finish. Now I am starting to think it is a play on words. Marc

Brad I just put in an order for the SX-HTB from Fluance. It is a complete set of 5 speakers all voice matched ($259.99). There is one problem of course and that is that there is a 6-8 week waiting period currently for the SX series. I have 4-6 weeks left, and running my pioneer 912 receiver...

Fluance now offers 2 subwoofers. a 10" and 12". Marc

You can always set your mains as Large and that will ignore the crossover point of the receiver. Marc

I would guess most people do not use it because of it's weight? Marc

Just because the front of your DVD player says DTS doesn't mean it is sending a DTS signal. For some reason DTS was turned off as a default option on my player. I am guessing it was just informing me that it has a DTS signal? I was blaming the receiver becuase it looked like the DVD player...

I just had a similar situation with my reciever I bought at cc online. The UPS guy delivered it and my roommate answered the door. As he brought it to me, he commented that it rattled in the box, and didn't feel secure. The box itself look ok, no holes and nothing broken on the outside. On...

Your thread was the one that pointed it to me, so thanks. Hope you enjoy yours. Marc

Is it really fair to have Rotel equipment in your setup and call it modest? Maybe it is just me, but nice. Marc

Ordered it last week for $299.99 at CC. It is back up to $379.99. Let me tell you it is nice to for the first time make the right decision on when to buy. I usually wait, and end up missing the sale. It will arrive on the 14th. Now I have to wait for my speakers to arrive. Fluance SX-HTBs. 6-8...

Now I have to wait 6-8 weeks. I know this is probably the wrong way to do it, but I based my desision entirely on the recommendation of this board. I wanted more then the 2x10 watts my TV puts out without braking the bank. Total of USD 322.38 including shipping is not bad. Now I have...

Ya it's finished and I like the idea of building my own. Thanks for the info. Marc

I installed Halogen track lighting above my PC, and had a dimmer attached. It hummed all the time, and it annoyed me. In the end I realized I always kept the lights turned up all the way, so I just removed teh dimmer and installed a regular old on/off switch. I was going to buy a low voltage...

I was looking to build a small sub. The driver I was looking at was the Dayton 10" shielded DVC subwoofer from part express Part Number 295-485, and powering it with their 120w amp Part Number 300-792. I also added in a couple of other small items like polyfill, and speaker mounting kit. The...

Allen, I think the only thing that was stainless steel was the washers. The rest was zinc plated. To me it looks just like stainless steel at a fraction of the price. I think with all the parts and the MDF it was about $100.00. The most expensive parts were the flange nuts. They were like...
