from fluance.com Summary:
I bought these speakers about a year and a half ago, I was a bit sceptical but I read nearly 200 good reviews. I think I only saw one complaint... these babies are almost flawless. I have av-938's in front the AV-SC center channel speaker and the av-f3 dynamic compact three way hi-fi speakers in the rear. I also bought 100 feet of 8 guage wire or 10 guage wire, can't remember which, but it looks like they only sell 12 guage now. Maybe it was 12? Mine was 100.00 for 100 feet. currently have them running on a Pioneer 7.1 surround receiver, and they sound phenominal! In my opinion they sound better with a sony 5.1 surround, but this is what I have now, so no worries. I went against the word of the gentleman from Fluance who suggested I not waste my money on hi-fi's for the back(because quality would be wasted) and go with the Bipolar Surrounds..I did this because at the time I planned on using them in a different room of the house. When they were hooked up by themselves, they sounded like their own set of surround sound speakers, they have a brilliant crisp sound, and surprisingly good amount of bass for such small woofers. Right now I have them hooked up to my surround in the rears, and I'm only running one set of wires to the rear, so they definitely are not getting used to their full potential, but still sound magnificent! The center channel can be a little flat, but I didn't expect a lot for $100.00, but it does the job better than most I've heard, and I just looked at their website and they're only 69.99, can't ask for a better deal than that. The av-938's sound great and offer up nice sound and bass mixture. I listen to a lot of jazz, as well as big band, and when you can hear ever beat, horn and bass note you know you've got some good speakers! I don't think I'll ever buy a different brand, they have nice customer service reps who are more worried about getting me the right product than making a larger sale, and they're very quick to respond when you email or call. I tell all of my friends about them now, because really nobody has ever heard of them. As far as I'm concerned you won't be dissapointed Strengths:
sound quality comparible to many of the brands that are two and three times more expensive.
packaging...came double boxed, wrapped, and in foam, you can't ask for much better handling than that.
Spent less than a thousand dollars on speakers that make my house a movie theater.
customer service
