New member Username: JonkirstKennesaw, Ga USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | I was looking online and came across this speaker setup. I have never heard of them but it looks like a pretty sweet deal. I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with these speakers (or brand) for that matter? Here is a link to them: www.homespeakers.com/buynow.asp?prid=1054 Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jon |

I have read some very positive reviews about these speakers (besides "the" review) and was wondering if anyone on these forums had any personal experience with them. |

Bronze Member Username: StefanomSilver Spring, MD United States Post Number: 47 Registered: Apr-06 | I really enjoy in the review how they note the weight of the BIC being 26 pounds as compared with the Klipsch RF-3II weighing in at 56 (RF-62 which is more comparable weighs in at 54) and the Synergy F-1 at 33 (new one is 40). Should tell you a little something right there. My little lady Emma's weigh in at 20 for Christs sake... |
Bronze Member Username: Noya83Portland, Oregon USA Post Number: 22 Registered: May-06 | I think I read some pretty positive reviews of them on AVS for "bang-for-the-buck". What kind of receiver will you be powering them with? -Michael |
