  1. Fluance Sx6 Dsp For Macbook Pro

For years we'd heard about Fluance speakers, but until we HEARD Fluance speakers we didn't understood what all the hubbub was about. Fluance has been know for offering what appears to be an insanely low-priced surround loudspeaker solution (or stereo depending upon your needs) for what many manufacturers charge for a single refurbished speaker.

While it wouldn't be fair to compare the SX-HTB+ speakers to a $1000 surround sound speaker system, or put them up against the likes of any of the full-priced models we've reviewed, it's amazing just how much you can expect for $300. What's even more amazing is that Fluance speakers come with a lifetime manufacturers warranty for parts & labor.

Confused about what AV Gear to buy or how to set it up? Join our Exclusive! Biamping off the same power supply doesn't increase the power. Passively biamping dosent do anything and I bet your friend would be surprised to learn that he is probably only pushing a watt or two most of the time. QUOTE=“MarcG, post: 1220030, member: 83322”Something I would like to add that I failed to mention My friend who biamped is using the Onkyo TX-NR646 100 W/Ch (8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC). He's also only using it 2.0 and he's bi-amping using the extra rear channel. So i'm guessing he's sending 100-150w of power per speaker.

My other friend using the cheap Pioneer receiver and is setup with a full 5.0. With all channels driven he's most likely only getting 25-40w per channel. MarcG, post: 1219986, member: 83322 Both rooms are definitely over 4000 cubic feet ( open concept bungalow).

Imo the only pieces worth it are the towers the sxs surrounds and sxc center are the weak point I would just buy the towers separately and 2 sets of sx6's bookshelves ( one set for rears and one speakers for center ) This Would make a sweet budget setup. The only concern would be the extra/unused sx6 The SX towers wouldn't be my first choice. Fluance's response graph for the Classic Elite / SXHTB towers hints at problems: cone breakup around the 3.5kHz crossover point, some sort of phase cancellation, and a general recessed sound and probably poor imaging. The Signature Series would be the only Fluance towers I'd consider – but even then, in that price range I think I'd prefer to audition the Emotiva Airmotiv T1, the RBH R55Ti, the Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 + pedestal stands, or wait for JBL to offer another deep discount on their Studio 580 towers. In the $300 range of the Fluance SX towers I'd sooner stick with bookshelf speakers – probably the Affordable Accuracy monitors, or shop for used.

MarcG, post: 1219968, member: 83322 Oddly enough i have two friends who have this system. 1 of my friends bi-amped the towers the other did not the friend who bi-amped 150w per channel: the difference is immense, especially in the bass department. These towers LOVE power. I have to say that i was shocked at the low end response from 40-80hz, i could feel the bass on my chest.

The other friend who has them hooked up to a cheap pioneer receiver with 70w/ch bass response is decent, but no wheres near the bass response my other friend is getting with the powers bi-amped Just curious Marc. How similar is the placement/room size/room construction between these systems?

Also, where there any tone controls in play? Ie: bass knob turned up etc.
