Cool

Questions:

1) What is most important to you when buying home audio speakers online?
Consumer reviews -<---- THIS (I'm not going to buy something that isn't reviewed by a creditable source)
Price <-- (this is why I buy online vs. big box stores)

2) What brand of speakers would you compare Fluance to?
I have never used Fluance speakers - so I have no reference

3) Which brand of speakers do you have experience with? (list below)
basically just PC, TV, phone, buds, OEM car speakers, and CD Player speakers. I know all the big brands, and listen to them in stores (as I drool over the boxes), but nothing that I would say is "experience". You want to compare your speakers to the Pioneer paper speakers in my Saab 9-3. Yep we can do that (oh wait the head unit hasn't worked for 2 years....and if anyone knows how to rewire the fiber optic cable to run an aftermarket unit, I'm all ears).

Really this is just me dreaming. Even if I had the speakers, I wouldn't have a receiver to power them, so they would either sit in my garage or eventually end up on ebay.
