    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    If anyone owns the Fluance Signature speakers, please try reversing the leads for the Mid/Tweet section and let me know if you like the sound of the lower midrange after doing that. This is a band aid fix for what I've found but there is an overall better solution that I hope Fluance can make a...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    I pulled some measurements and now think I have a good understanding of what is going on with the lower mids of this speaker. Emailing Fluance now hoping they can make some changes to improve. This is a bit tragic to me b/c this speaker does so many things right but they made a few glaring...

    Facing a subwoofer towards a wall?

    Good question and yes there can be. I just added a 5th sub to my room and did just that. With the sub firing at the wall it did help with integration at the crossover region and most importantly made it less localizable. I will include this in my write up.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    I haven't heard the Ultra Towers but I did review their Ultra Bookshelf. No I don' think it's brighter than the Fluance but if you want a more laid back sound, I think the alternatives I listed may better suite your needs.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Given your tastes from what I am reading here, you need to pick a pair of speakers with a laid back sound signature. I don't get the Tekton design to be honest, so I won't comment other than saying its very unconventional. The SVS Ultra towers will certainly have good bass response but you may...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    CNET absolutely hated my 07 Acura TL Type S. Meanwhile, the car drove solid, had great gas mileage, looked great, and I sold it for $10k less than I bought it for despite puting 75k miles on it in the 5+ years I owned it. It is now a classic in the Acura line up that is sought after since the...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Yes it is! You're absolutely right. These speakers handle that track better than anything I've heard in this price range.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Not sure but it's unusual to run a midrange only one octave like this. I sent Fluance an email to inquire as I don't want to assume anything. My measurements will also confirm if this is in fact the xover point they set.

    Waterfall Speakers, Seymour AV Projection Screen, and Wolf Projector Demo

    In a great home theater, every part works together and you can't have any weak links. At CES 2016, we saw and heard a great total system featuring Waterfall Audio LCR 300 speakers and SUB 600 subwoofers, Seymour AV Ambient-Visionaire Black 132" Projection Screen, and Wolf Cinema SDC-15 Ultra 4K...

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Agreed and I think more care is needed regarding placement to get them to sound more balanced. I have even been experimenting with port plugs too.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Mark my words if the crossover point in the mid was lowered from 1200hz to around 500hz, I'd suspect a significant improvement in the mid frequencies. I'm looking forward to measuring to see what's really going on.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    It really depends on source material. With 80's rock yes the tweeter can get fatiguing but for Jazz and good source material, no so much. Also my room is acoustically treated and quite large so that may also be why I can tolerate it. In addition, NOT toe-ing in the speaker also helps.

    Fluance Signature Series Speakers Preview

    Hugo and I finally got a chance to check out the Signature towers Fluance sent to us for review. WE are both absolutely floored by the workmanship and materials of this product for such a modest asking price. These things are HUGE and constructed quite well too. Aesthetically they are quite...

    Somebody Say Predator?

    Predators was done quite well. The best since the original IMO. However, I hope they don't throw in the super predators again. It takes away from the horror of the original predator alien. They really need to bring Arnold back as a kind of war torn PTSD suffering old man that has a death wish...
