Ahh, finally someone who knows the Nuance of old!

Now here I am going out on a limb and risk getting flamed for it, but they are good speakers. However judging by the vehemence people have about the Nuance name these days, they sure are not indicative of what Nuance has become.

I have had a pair or Nuance 220's since 1992. They were bought at one of the best specialty stores in Vancouver NOT from a white van, from one of the least high-pressure sales guys I have ever known. In fact I have bought several pieces of gear from this fellow.

The speakers are not overblown in bass, size or other characteristics to artificially enhance "value". Actually I recall that at the time they did not do any advertising but relied simply on high end shops such as The Sound Room where I got mine. At the time they were just under $1000, which was at the top of my budget range. They sound great as I said, and go well with my NAD, Technics, Harmon Kardon and Rega Planar/Grace setup.

Judging from what people say now about Nuance I would not want to buy from them now. Does anyone else remember the old days of Nuance?
