$259 is unbelievable. I wonder if they are for real.

i'd really want to see Cnet review them. i doubt sound and vision or sterophile will even look at them cause they are priced soo cheap.S&V might, but a mag like the perfect vision, they are about $2000 to cheap, hehe
1. They are constructed in Asia, therefore Fluance can use better-quality components to build these speakers. Components of comparable quality would cost far more in other regionsI don't know about you, but other than Antarctica, Asia is the last continent (on a whole) that I would buy speakers from. Amps and such sure. But not speakers. Asia is NOT known to have better quality speaker parts. Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood the list goes on of these cheap house brands. I have yet to even become familiar of a mid-fi brand's name that are asian. (I'm sure there out there).
This indicates very good quality control. This leads me to believe that some very good stuff can be produced in China and southeast Asia.The statement in bold came from Mr. Joe D'Appolito. I also think certain Klipsch drivers are made in Asia.
They may have a ounce of mid stuff that's good but they also have a ton of cheap stuff that's not so good.Hey, so do we. Dogg Digtal comes to mind. Also Acoustic Image, Paradyme, Audiofile, etc... Even non white van speakers like Bose, Optimus/RCA, and just about any speaker you'll find at Best Buy or Circuit City (not including JBL, Polk or Infinity). They aren't horrible but are by no means worth what you pay for IMO.
As for Fluance, I'd love to try some out but right now even $259 is too much for this poor fellow. :frowning:
