Speakers and sets at the accessible end
In brief
Fenton sells floorstanding speakers rated by maximum power. The SHF80B pair reviewed here states 500 W maximum and no RMS figure; no US offer on Oct 25, 2026. Reviewed here: Fenton SHF80B floorstanding pair. None had an Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026.
Loudspeakers sold singly, in pairs and in complete home theater sets.
Whether the power quoted is RMS or peak, and whether a “5.1 set” includes an amplifier. On this shelf both answers vary between listings that otherwise look identical.
The SHF80B is the only Fenton reviewed here. Its listing states a passive pair, “500 W maximum” and compatibility with “common hi-fi amplifiers” — and nothing else that describes the sound: sensitivity and frequency response are both absent. A maximum figure is the power a speaker survives in a short burst; it does not say how loud it plays from a given amplifier, which is what sensitivity would have said.
We hold European Amazon references only, and Amazon.com had no offer on October 25, 2026. On the floorstanding speakers shelf, the cheapest towers with a US offer that day were the Rockville at $120 and the two Dayton Audio pairs at $230; the Polk Audio T50 was $249.
Passive pair · 500 W maximum stated · works with common hi-fi amplifiers
The entry floorstander: a passive pair with a maximum power figure and little else published, at the price where most people buy their first tower speakers.
Best for: A first pair of tower speakers, where the alternative is bookshelf speakers on a shelf.
