Anybody has an opinion of these VS BIC FH8-W?

I really enjoy my set, all of my BIC speakers for that matter. The best compliment I can think of for these.... they exceeded my expectations easily.

I use them as front speakers with a bottom line Yamaha home threatre and they are easy to drive. The rear speakers we use are high end polks-- which provide the bass and high quality mid and high range. These bright Bic's can provide for a better listening experience on some vocals and movie tracks. But I dont consider them as stand alone .. due to the distortion at the high end and very limited bass output except if you drive them to ear crushing bone breaking levels. they are an entry level spkr -- for those on a tight budget-- so they do have a nitch.. but dont expect miracles and then you wont be disappointed. I'm not sorry I picked them up --- due I like the brightness they add on certain piano music as well.

I did not notice any difference in durability after half a year of pretty hard work with both of them. But I do feel a difference in torque: not the maximum, which seems to be more or less the same, but the brushless driver is much harder to work carefully with. It feels digital: one or zero, on or off. The non-brushless driver can be run fast or slow, depending on the strength of your index finger, but that doesn't work very well with the brushless one.

I have the 55W in my trailblazer SS and my wifes yukon has the 35w and i can see a difference but im not sure its worth the xtra money! if you dont mind spending a little more then i guess its worth it, but your not gonna get the 35w and be disappointed from the stock change.

Currently, I am using Klipsch F-30s for my fronts and these RF-52s for my rears in my 5.1 setup. While everyone has a different ear and taste in their music; I personally find these to excel with the highs as a previous reviewer mentioned. The F-30s have a much fuller sound and do better with the mids and lows. For music purposes, I would suggest either the F-30s with a decent center or these with a sub to help with the lows. As always, there is no right answer; It's all a matter of opinion.

There is a big difference. I thought the C/D would be wide enough, it wasn't. From now on I plan on getting the WW if I can find some.

I am using them and I personally think they sound great. Loud, powerful, and I truly believe it made a difference to my movie viewing experience. I ended up buying the BIC center channel as well. Be aware that the center channel is bigger than these side ones but I think it was well worth it.

I believe that the BIC Acoustechs are solid performers for the money. I've worked with the Polks where they ran 16 hrs a day, 7 days a week at moderately high volume and they were great performers, but I'm also using the BIC 12" subwoofer as well and they perform as well as a pair of KEF C55 speakers that I used for several years. Again, for the money they can't be beat, the Acoustechs, and I HIGHLY recommend that you pick up the 12" sub to augment the bottom end of the other two speakers - you just can't beat that bottom end! Hope this helps you out a bit.

I have both and they performed identically. It just comes down to your mounting and appearance preferences.

I wouldn't be able to give you a comparison because I haven't had the opportunity to hear these new towers. They are beautiful and seem to be well received from people who own them. I can say that the DV84 towers are outstanding with excellent mid range. The Bass is shockingly full for a tower speaker. I think either speaker would serve you well. The PL-89 is newer,and appears to have a nicer finish. The BIC company has been making solid speakers for many years so it's your choice.

I understand, Blue Diver. I'm torn because I'm traveling along the Rhine River next month and really wanted to upgrade to the FZ150, but in the end I will probably just stick with my FZ35 which does a good job.

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.

They are awesome and very reliable ....the ride is a bit stiffer though ... bilstein makes the oe. But the kyb are definitely a great buy.

Just installed 4 on my 07' 350 crew cab... Ride is awesome now... Had a set of the Elderbrock IAS on prior to these and the factory Rancho's before that... The Elderbrock's rode better than he factory Rancho's when new but these 5100 series Bilstein's are much better yet! A little pricey but worth it with the much improved ride!

Why match a powerful 12", 300W-460W subwoofer with a weak, small 4", 80W bookshelf speakers? Doesn't make sense. I'm getting the BIC FH-65B 6.5" 10W -175W, 96db speakers for my PSW505. If you're going to go cheap and stick with the SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones then you should get the PSW10 for half the price ($95) of the PSW505. They are a better power and price match.

AK I can't speak for anyone but I can tell you I have no regrets in buying the Bic FH 65B. These speakers have stood the test of time that I have put them through. I have push these speakers to the limit. With a 700w power amp I can say they have not let me down. Of course you have to be your own judge. I have had these speakers for more than 3 years.
