Strength:
Look great and sound good enough for my small apartment.
Weakness:
The worst sales pitch I have ever heard! Outragous price and no information on the speakers or company to be found! First off I'm not very picky when it comes to clarity and "proper sound". I think these speakers sound good even though I have read some alarming things about the quality of materials and comstrustion in other peoples reviews. Similar Products Used: None. |

Strength:
Not a BAD center channel speaker, if you don't pay much for it.
Weakness:
Sales Reps are the lowest common denominator of people. Honestly, the guy that sold me the speaker is the biggest a$$hole I have ever met. DON'T go to international stereo... but anyway, about the speaker. Its not bad, but I bought a floor model that is kinda ratched looking for 200 bucks Canadian. I mean you can't really complain about that, but unless you get an EXTEREMELY cheap deal on nuance, don't get them, their quality just isn't up to par with the ungodly price. International Stereo, I think the biggest pusher of these speakers, is nothing more than a bunch of slope headed jerks that make outrageous claims to get you to buy stuff. Nuance makes FAIR stuff in my opinion, but not anything of real quality- well, at least not compared to the price. The real selling feature for me was the fact that I could put my fist through it and take it back, which I think I might do just for kicks, since the losers at International might not appreciate it too much. The Center channel speaker I have seems to crackle a BIT at high volumes, but thats okay because the volume is so high at that level its not pleasant.

Strength:
Excelent range without distortion
Weakness:
Price - started at $3000 negotiated down. Other than price - if you paid list- would I complain. Didn't care for the sales rep - but that's the store, not Nuance. Speakers perform great. Can't overdrive them. Great range, very brilliant sound. |

Strength:
Warranty, trade up program most of all sound.
Weakness:
Sales pitch I don't really know how to start this review, seeing as though to review Nuance speakers on this site, you either have to give them a 5 star or 1 star rating. I purchased a Nuance system through a reputable store in town here and am very impressed. |

Strength:
Crisp highs, clear mids, beuatiful lows. Superb spacial sound even without Q sound.
Weakness:
None that i have found so far. Wow, i'm one happy camper, i just traded up my pair of star2m's for a set of Spatial Grand Elx, Dl's, and a Star Grand Centre. I'v been looking for something like this for 2 years now since i heard Klarity speakers. I'm hoping Nuance will make a brand of speakers for car audio because i would be one happy camper going on a camping trip listening to Nuance. I actually like comming home to these things, i know that sounds corny but listening to perfect acustinc sound lets me relax. All i have to say is save your self the hassle, Nuance will blow anything you listen to out of the water. WOW, i cant emphasize that word enough.
