    Should i get fluance or the jbl's?

    Josh - I have the Fluance AV-5s and absolutely love them. Got a pair with the Fluance Center for $311 shipped directly from Fluance. The sound stage is amazing, I still sometimes have to check because I'm not sure if the center channel is playing while in stereo mode listening to music...

    Fluance ES-1 2-way towers firstlook(longish)

    Woohoo. Those are some great looking, and happy-to-hear-great-sounding, speakers. :) The AV-5s are great as well as the . I'm using the Monster 1-S biwires with the mains (2-S non-biwire for the center). I am still amazed at the front sound stage. The first times I listened to stereo music I...

    Speaker wire "formula"

    I ran my surrounds with cat5e rated wire. It is relatively expensive, but I got a deal on bulk cable for the rest of the wiring, so it didn't cost much. Many people can get free cat5e leftovers from work, so it might work. Each polarity for each speaker has a 4-pair cat5e dedicated to it. I...

    7.1 configuration setup advice (w/ diagrams)

    Thanks for the welcome, Bob. And thanks for the feedback. Sorry about posting in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure if the speakers forum was just for about speakers or about layouts as well. Subwoofer: I may try putting it in the back corner. Maybe under a coffee table would fit. I'm a little...
