Beautiful sharp looking speakers, haven't broken them in yet at a moderate level but will soon. From what I've heard from them so far I think they are awesome, hookup was pretty straightforward and the remote is a nice bonus! I have them hooked up to the Fluance RT80 turntable via RCA and also paired them with my IPod without any issues. I can report NO hissing or pops as some other reviewers have. I love the bluetooth capability as they will later be paired with a smart TV when our basement renos are completed. I didn't buy these on Amazon, ordered these directly from Fluance where shipping was pretty fast.

I ordered a pair on Amazon. I was very excited to get these after hearing all the great reviews. I got the Ai40's to use on my desktop with my PC. Unfortunately the ones I got where defective. There was a very loud hissing and crackling noise, it was not drown out by the music either, it was very much in your face. I tried several different high quality connectors and different audio sources, nothing stopped this noise. After working with tech support who was by the way very helpful and easy to deal with it was determined that the power supply may be faulty. After I got off the phone I realized that there was even more wrong with these speakers. The speakers sounded blown and the volume output was very low. They where a complete dud, I think the quality control department needs to be re evaluated. I am awaiting a refund and planned to get another and see how it goes but after hearing that so many people have this hissing some worse than others I may look for something else. I have to sleep on it and re think my purchase choice. I have had 2 different sets of quality desktop monitor style speakers none caused any sort of hissing or noise and where silent even at full volume or you could not hear anything over the PC fans. With the Ai40's the hissing is so loud it drowns out the sound of the PC fans and cuts into the music.
Very disappointing as I had high hopes for these speakers.

Beautiful sound and appearance. I'm hearing the whole production now and not just some static and background noise.

It is so much good and at so killer price for the performance (overall articulation, low bass and ease of use), that I bought a second pair. Forget any sound bars or anything below 500$. This is really it and nothing else.

Beautiful clean crisp sound. Balanced bass and treble. Love the look, the details and the simple set up. Great value for the price!

Really clear sound

These speakers are absolutely amazing. I’m so glad with my purchase and I can’t wait to continue buying more from Fluance. You guys ROCK!

Loved them. From the moment I plugged them in through the break in process and specially now that they are working at their very best. I use them mostly with my RT85 and the imaging and the sound is terrific. Probably the only thing I don't like is the hiss sound you get when there's nothing playing and you are in the “line in” mode but even with that, I loved them.

I bought the AI40 to use with the Fluance RT81 turntable I have and they did not disappoint. The AI40's are amazing for such a small size. The bass is very ample and the detail on the mids and highs really bring the music to life. Thinking about another pair to replace a sound bar. Great job Fluance!

Great product. Top notch in quality and service.

Speakers sound great, using them in place of a soundbar for the tv. The remote is simple to use and very practical for this purpose. Bluetooth function works well.

Good speakers, shipped super fast, like overnight fast. Easy to set up.

Great Speakers and outstanding customer support. I highly recommend these speakers, they are so much better than a sound bar. I have contacted customer service several times and have always received a quick and respectful response.

After much research I decided to go with the ai40's. Never had purchased Fluance before now. I'm so critical at times I almost did not want to believe the hype around this product. These speakers are incredible. They are connected to my turntable. My Vinyl, old and new are now being heard like Never before. One World is Not Enough by the Police, sounds amazing. The Bass really stands out like I'd never noticed before. I could go on and on but these are amazing. Finally, it's true that the first 12 hours are the break in period.

Great sound. I did need to buy an EBTech HUM-X ground loop AC eliminator to remove the loud speaker hiss. Apparently this hiss is common in speakers with built-in amplifiers so it is no mark against the speakers itself, though it did add a substantial extra cost ($75) relative to the initial cost of the speakers so worth bearing in mind.

Also, when it arrived the left RCA input seemed broken, the left speaker would work via Bluetooth but not RCA. I guess it's lucky I didn't just send it back - I opened the casing checked inside and could clearly see that one of the small plugs was only half plugged in. Plugged back in and wrapped it with some electrical tape and good to go. This may have happened in transit so again can't conclusively put to quality control. However together these two issues did interfere with my initial enjoyment and require some time to fix in terms of trying the him filter (and being lucky it did work) so I need to remove a star. Great sound after that though!
