Andy Jones New member Username: Andyj Van Alstyne, TX United States Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Sunday, June 27, 2004 - 00:29 GMT Thanks to all the good advice contained here, I am well on the way to assembling a decent Home Theater System. Presently, I have an HK AVR 330 and 2 Athena AS-B2's as the fronts along with an old Sony Center. I have decided to buy 2 Athena AS-F2's as the front speakers and move the B2's to the rear. What is the best source to Purchase the F2's? Thanks

Best Buy usually puts it on sale during 3 day weekends or some other holiday. Don't worry they are never far in-between. cheers

Always check audiogon and ebay.............

Even though Best Buy has them @ $249 + Tax, the Audio Advisor deal is still better. I previewed them at Best Buy and then bought on the strength of all the positive comments re: Audio Advisors

Andy Jones New member Username: Andyj Van Alstyne, TX United States Post Number: 7 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Thursday, July 08, 2004 - 01:39 GMT Hi Berny and all, The best deal going was with Audio Advisors. $399/pair with free shippping. They arrived today in fine shape and the first listen was pure pleasure. No doubt the pairing of the AS-F2's with the HK 330 is a winner. Audio Advisors was professional, informed and pleasant to deal with - start to finish.
