Reddit mentions of Fluance Classic Elite Series Center Channel & Surround Sound Speakers (Black)

Oh, that throws a small wrench into things. $500 CAD is $375 USD.

I'd get this receiver and these Fluance 3.0 (Canadian brand).

I'll still check Craigslist, but with most audio equipment costing more because of conversion, and many brands/deals not offered in Canada, it don't think you'll get much better..

EDIT: Nothing, very little postings as well, I have pages upon pages of search results for my Craigslist.

Doesn't look like that center matches your bookshelves (different fluance series)

Came across this when looking at your links:

Never heard any fluance myself so can't recommend nor comment on how they perform. It's pretty important to match your front speakers timbre though just wanted to point that out

I would mount the surrounds on side walls, 6’ H, 1-2’ behind the Seating........

The fluance set is fine...you wouldn't need a sub right away with those towers especially if you're not into movies. You could also get the AJ Pioneer set for about the same price. Again no sub but you can get that later.

Now you need an AVR...if you're not opposed to refurb this Yamaha 377 or this Denon E300 would be good options. Puts you right at $600 for a 5.0 tower speaker set.

Some other speaker options to consider

• Energy set $400
  
  
• Fluance AVHT $250...leave you plenty of room for a sub
  
  
• Fluance SX books with fluance set $280 would get you into an SX system with room for sub.

Hey Zeos! Not sure if this is quite the right thread for this, but thanks to you for the past several months I have been the proud owner of a Fluance SX-6 and Dayton SUB-1200 home entertainment audio system. I think it sounds great, and the SUB-1200 appears to be on a huge sale right now, so I was looking to get the same setup for my vinyl collection upstairs. As I was looking on amazon to find the sx-6, I came across this set of speakers which includes a center channel for not much more money whatsoever. Do you have any experience with that set? I certainly have the room in this vinyl collection room for a center channel, but I don't want to sacrifice the great quality of the SX-6s for a little more value.

Hey, I have some system parts in common with you (the Onkyo and the PSW10). Well, they say your front 3 should match...so it might be easiest to move the Teacs to the rear and get new fronts+center (perhaps Micca MB42x and matching center). OR, if you don't mind mix&matching, try this from Fluance (center+surround set) and keep your Teacs as fronts: Fluance center + surround.

Awesome!! Thanks man.

In your video review of the SX6's you mention that they don't have a matching center, but in your write up you link these.

Just wanted to double check that the center and surround would match with the bookshelves. Thanks again Zeos!!

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between surround speakers and regular bookshelf speakers? I was looking at this setup. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009ZTGZOC?cache=bdf832dc73551381a6cc7b381b79eb7a#ref=s9_simh_gw_d0_g23_i2&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=mobile-1&pf_rd_r=1NAKFZFDP8HYMSZJT9BC&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1634797062&pf_rd_i=507846

And was wondering if I eventually get towers if I could just use the surround speakers as rears.
Edit: also I'm mostly gaming how are the fluances for generated audio rather than acoustic/reproduction.

Hey Zeos. Thanks for making this awesome subreddit. If I hadn't stumbled on to here I might have gone with a HTiB.
So now that you've inspired me to get surround sound how does this set up look to you.

The room is aprox. 18ft long and 15ft wide. I also use a projector.

Receiver: Denon AVR E300

Subwoofer: Bic America F12

Bookshelfs: Fluance SX6-BK

Center & rear: Fluance SX Series Center Channel & Surround Sound Speakers - http://www.amazon.com/Fluance-Series-Channel-Surround-Speakers/dp/B009ZTGZOC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1GXRGZXZ1TEV7RDXKSGD

Will this setup work in a room of my size?

Is there anything I should switch out? (my budget is: the cheaper the better)

Is there a set up guide you could refer me to?

Are the center and rears I linked to sufficient?


It may be worth noting that I've only used the tv speakers/projector speaker. Never legit audio equipment.
Also I have no music needs, this is only for tv/movies & video games.
Thanks for your help man, I would be lost without these guides!

All great input /u/Armsc.


I was honestly going to go overboard with space if I went for the towers. After taking a second to look back I readjusted and I will go forward with a set of bookshelves. I've chosen the Fluance SX6 as they appear to be very good at that price range. Now this runs into the problem you mentioned of not having a matching center unless you go with an additional speaker to use as center (which might be too big??) or purchasing the Rear and Center speakers as a kit which are not sold separately (Fluance Surround/Center).


What is your opinion on purchasing an additional front speaker to use as center?



Even though this is my first setup and I've never followed the Home Theater world, I just want to get the best bang for my budget
