Thread: Tower speakers and 5.1 system, maybe Fluance?

    Tower speakers and 5.1 system, maybe Fluance?

    I'm looking to get new speakers for my Denon AVR-788 receiver and was wondering if anyone can suggest some good places to look for deals online. I'd like to get the towers for $300-400 and the 5.1 system for 500-700. Frys has RTi8's on sale for 150 each, which seems like a good deal, but I could also get a pair of Fluance that seem to have better specs and have great reviews. Any thoughts?

    try calling up av123 (www.av123.com)

    I've heard they may be flexible on their pricing. Ask them if they have anything for your price range, their speakers are fantastic.

    the name brand receiver renovation posted is a denon, though I don't know what model. The ELTs are supposedly a FANTASTIC series, and the new towers are the talk of their forums.

    I just got in a pair of the ELT525M's (since the X-s got derailed) and they are great little guys. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to put together a system with them.

    You can really pick out each instrument and a lot of the subtleties while listening to them. They have a very smooth top end, and put out some surprising bass for only having a 5.25" driver.
