Nuance Speakers??


Anyone have info on Nuance Star Series speakers? My neighbor is selling a pair of towers with matching center channel. I was thinking of buying them but don't know too much about the name or speaker. I am building a new system with an Harman Kardon AVR220 as the receiver. Currently have Celestion F2 series towers and center channel. Would the Nuance's be an upgrade over the Celestions? Many thanks for any and all info.

Nuance may be one of the largest scam on speakers and only sullies the good Canadian name when it comes to speaker manufacturers. Try and ask for a few specs - you'll get the stand pat answer is that the lack of brochues, advertising and specification sheets only adds to value of Nuance speakers - they don't add in those costs so you get a better deal- YEA RIGHT...

You'll be offered a deal if you take them today - they'll advice you that the Rep just happens to be in the store and they have arm barred him to flog the stock at ridiculous prices. Hmmm.... the rep will probably look the sales guy thats always been there... Now obviously this info only applies to retail outfits that carry these speakers and wohldn;'t apply to your friend but ask him about how he came about buying them.

You can check out the multiple "reviews" over at Audioreview.com about Nuance products.

Ever heard of the white van cruising around offering great deals - well its my opinion that this outfit is about 1 step up from the van people - at least you get to hear them before you buy them and surpisingly people still buy them...
I WONDER WHY PEOPLE ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT SPECS AND RUMORS WHEN IT COMES TO NUANCE SPEAKERS. JUST LISTEN TO THE WAY THEY SOUND, SPATIAL SOUND OR NO SPATIAL SOUND, THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD. AND IF U REALLY LOOK INTO IT, THEY SELL WAY MORE SYSTEMS THEN BOSE.

SEEMS LIKE LOTS OF PPL HAVE OPINIONS ON THE SPEAKER BRAND. THAT JUST MEANS THE BRAND HAS CAUSED A LOT OF ATTENTION. FORGET ADVERTISEMENT!!

TRUST YOUR JUDGEMENT FOR ONCE WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAKER PURCHASE. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PREFERENCES TO HEARING. NO ONE HOLDS A GUN TO UR HEAD WHEN U BUY. NUANCE REPS LUVS TO DEAL...SO USE IT TO UR OWN ADVANTAGE!
BABY2'S ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR THEM.

HAPPY NUANCE OWNER.

1. Please stop yelling.

2. The biggest issue that I have read about (and have unpleasantly experienced) is their selling technique. As Rgd mentioned, their method is...

"You'll be offered a deal if you take them today - they'll advice you that the Rep just happens to be in the store and they have arm barred him to flog the stock at ridiculous prices. Hmmm.... the rep will probably look the sales guy thats always been there..."

It got even shadier when they physically got closer and started to speak in hushed whispers that they were willing to give 60% off the MSRP. It gave me the chills.
