Review: Fluance Comes Through Again !!! Great Speakers. - This is my second Fluance purchase. I bought the bipole speakers for rear use in my home theatre setup. Awesome speakers. Bought the these two-ways for stereo listening. I’ve broken them in for about 12 hours with classical music (Esteban Salas), the Grateful Dead, Evanescence, Heart, and some Blues by Albert King. As each hour’s gone by they’ve opened up nicely. The clarity is good, but some might think they’re a little warm. But, then again, I use a tube preamp and enjoy that vibe when listening to music. The size of these speakers is great for a small to midsized room. I’ve done some acoustic treatments in my listening retreat. These speakers aren’t hard to drive in terms of power. They do sound better as you give them a little juice. Lastly. as to value for the money, I don’t think they can be beat as to sound quality for the price, build quality, and appearance. I’ve used Klipsch, Sony, Yamaha, and Definitive Technology speakers over the years. I’ll stick with Definitive Technology for my home theatre. As for 2 channel or quadraphonic listening, Fluance is absolutely the place to be for me. I sold my Klipsch setup after falling in love with Fluance. If you like a brighter or sharper audio profile, I can understand why you’d stick with Klipsch. There’s a huge difference in tweeter response between the two brands. Only slight negative is that the bass response is at 50hz on these speakers. I think a sub is necessary to enjoying a full frequency response on the soundstage end. I’m using one of my Definitive Technology subs and it’s all blending well. The soundstage is enveloping now. I highly recommend these speakers.
Review: Room filling sound!! - They don't sound like 2-way speakers. I was a little bit skeptical when I bought these. I've always thought bookshelf speakers didn't sound nearly as good as floor speakers. My experience has taught me this. Usually the crossover network isn't matched for the drivers and cabinet so the resultant output sounds like crap (I've replaced many crossover in brand name speakers to fix them). So I was already thinking ahead when I was going to return them. Fluance was not to disappoint. I own one of their turntables and am more than impressed with it; why not trust their design team? All I can say is WOW! They sound amazing from my Pioneer SX525 Receiver paired with a Pioneer equalizer. Even with the equalizer set to flat, these speakers pump out sound in very good balance; they are not overly bassy or tinny. Mids come though perfectly in my opinion. I fully endorse these speakers, and at this price point I really don't think you can do any better.

## Features

- Exquisite Room-Filling Sound - As impactful as tower speakers, with outstanding clarity and immersive sound reproduction, these bookshelf speakers are perfect as fronts or surround sound speakers (External Amplifier Required)
- Rich and Detailed Midrange - Woven fiber drivers provide vibrational damping and optimal linear movement resulting in a faithful reproduction of the original recording
- Captivating Clarity in the High Frequencies - Silk dome neodymium tweeters produce crisp, natural highs while providing spacious off axis dispersion making every spot the sweet spot
- Superior Cabinet Engineering - Meticulously designed wood enclosure to avoid unwanted resonance with front firing bass ports for improved bass response (Frequency Range 50Hz - 20KHz)
- Optimized Crossover for Superior Sound - Utilizing high performance components improving phase coherence, frequency response balance and timing

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i pair these with the fluance rt81 turntable or will i need additional pieces?**
A: You'll need to buy a stereo to serve as an amplifier. Sony has a great one for around $100.

**Q: Is there a way to connect these speakers to **both** a turntable AND a soundbar?**
A: No, these are a passive speaker and would have to be connected to an amplifier of some sort.

**Q: Are any cables included in the box with these speakers? If not, what cables are recommended? I will be using these for my turntable.**
A: No cables are not included, you can order speaker wire on line the gauge is recommended by Fluance

**Q: How do speakers attach to these stands?**
A: Thanks for your question David!

The speakers stands we offer do not attach to the speakers, they would sit on the platform with a cut out for the wire to run through that platform, through the pole, and to your amplifier/receiver.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!
*by A***R on November 1, 2023*

Got these speakers today. Delivered in perfect shape and ahead of schedule. They work beautifully with my new AIYIMA T9 PRO amplifier. They are about 12 feet from the couch where I like to listen, and from my drum kit where I practice. I've been a jazz drummer for many years and I don't play loud, but still the amp and speakers have to put out a lot. The AIYIMA T9 PRO is rated at 200 watts, but 100 watts/ speaker is way more than it can really deliver with good fidelity. I started with high fidelity in the sixties. The 30 yr Bang and Olufsen speakers that I use for front speakers in my tv room surround sound system are, to my ears, not as clean as these Fluances. That may be a matter of taste however. Separation of instrument sounds especially in large orchestras playing things like Bartok Concerto for Orchestra is important to me. These Fluances do that admirably. They sound better without the grills, so I like it that the grills are held on by magnets and can be so easily put on and removed. Quality of constructions seems very good. A genuine hard wood cabinet would be nice, but to construct one properly and with the right materials would probably add a great deal to the price: not worth it. The black finish is fine, and the shape of the speaker cabinets is esthetically pleasing. I have had lots of disappointing speakers in my life, some of them overpriced. I am extremely pleased with these Fluances.
