Product Review (submitted on September 27, 2017):

Avoid these speakers completely. First off, these speakers sound great. Really impressed with how smooth they sound and the bass response is excellent. However, if you run these w/o a subwoofer and play movies with bass, apparently Fluance says you must have AT LEAST 180w running to each tower. I have a 100wpc Onkyo TX-NR656 and was told by the Fluance rep that these speakers are not compatible with a 100wpc receiver, despite their rated power handling of 90-200 watts. What I get with movies is the bass has the woofers make loud popping noises. Here is a quote from the chat I had with the Fluance rep, Whitney.Whitney (9/27/2017, 2:50:24 PM): Please keep in mind these towers require upwards of 200 watts per channel, although you'll get sound out of them at 100w, it's not technically sufficient and not suggested for the towers to be run on anything lower than 180wMe (9/27/2017, 2:51:50 PM): Well that would exclude about 90% of all receivers. Hardly any receivers put out 180w per channel other than ones that are very high end.Me (9/27/2017, 2:52:28 PM): So you are saying they aren't compatible with a 100w receiver?Whitney (9/27/2017, 2:53:17 PM): Regrettably noI don't know of any receiver that outputs 180wpc in surround mode, let alone with 2 channels driven. So according to Whitney, the Fluance rep, they are lying about the power handling rating and you really need 180w per channel. Completely disappointed in Fluance and will be sure to never let anybody I know buy their products. - Verified Store
