I bought the matching centre speaker about a month before buying these guys. I’ve had two sets of Polk’s that I’ve been pleased with over the past 23 years but was so impressed with the clarity/quality of the centre channel in this series by Fluance that I wanted to compliment it with L and R fronts. This is best used in a 5.1 and up system, let your sub do it’s job and these guys will focus on clean mid and treble ranges. I’ve picked up tiny details in movies I’ve watched twice before but didn’t know were there until making the switch. Great styling, solid construction and easily mounted to the wall for clean lines.

Maybe it's cause I'm upgrading from a meh sound-bar for the last 3 years, but these bookshelf speakers are perfect for a solid, budget, apartment-friendly set-up.Build quality is superb, they feel very substantial and solid with some distinct hints of good engineering, the magnetic dust-cover is a high-end touch that makes me know these will last longer than the old plastic peg ones. They also look beautiful on the media console as a part of the room.Sound quality is beautiful, very good through the range with clear dialogue when watching TV and movies but still solid top range for acoustic music. While I know these are typically used as surround or additional speakers, they're a great option for an apartment-friendly 2.1 setup.Bonus that it's made in Canada :)

Was not that impressed when I first connected, but after a few hours break in, they sounded great. They just keep getting better. I will be ordering the reference towers to add and use the bookshelves for surround. I did call customer service and they were extremely helpfull. I originally wanted the signature series, but based on room size the recommended ref. Series. Boy am I glad I listened. Very pleased all around.

These have a quality of sound that must be hard to beat for around $200. They look quality, too. The sound is balanced, not harsh or boomy. Work great as a bookshelf speaker in a small room. If you need more bass, add a subwoofer.

Looks very nice on stands, with or without the grills

Great product for a budget price. I have fluance reference bipols for side surround and the reference bookshelves for rears.

The lack of bass on these bookshelf speakers is why I would not recommend them for a 2 channel system. I happen to use them with a subwoofer that is more for a 2 channel system and that produces a much improved lower end along with better soundstage and depth. I would say if you have a small room and an amp with tone controls then you can adjust the bass and get okay results, but in medium to large rooms these speakers in my opinion will not be sufficient.

Crisp, clear sound for a small speaker.

I can fully appreciate my vinyl with these! The perfect amount of bass and clarity!

Bought this along with the RT81 turntable for my husband for Christmas. The sound quality is great and he loved putting it together. Will definitely check out more of Fluance's products.

If you're looking for a budget speaker these are the ones to try out . I was surprised on how much bass comes out them considering there small size, so far very happy with the purchase

superior quality construction and great sound for the money

I love these speakers. I got them used (like new) and couldn't be happier. They're pretty soft sounding and the bass isn't aggressive at all.I live in an apartment and I can easily get them to sound good without being loud, which is great when you don't want to bother your neighbors.This doesn't mean they can't be loud though; they get pretty intense when I go over 10% volume on my old Technics Class F+ reciever. I just like the fact that they sound good even when they've at low volume.I think it's a good pair if you want big sounding speakers that can also be soft and relaxed when turned down.

These are speakers you want to have! The sound quality is very good, especially for the price!

I’d never heard of Fluance even thought they have been going for 20 years until I decided to change from my Cambridge Satellite speakers to bookshelf speakers I looked at the usual Polk Yamaha Klipsch Bose on internet in Electronic Shops that when I noticed Fluance the first thing to catch my eye was how good they looked the second was the price now don’t get me wrong the price wasn’t the reason I eventually got them in my 68 years I’ve been stung before by buying cheap but after checking numerous web site and review on YouTube you will always get at least a couple of bad ones no matter what you look for but since there was only a few not so good one’s but plenty of great reviews I decided to get them they look good and are well built I bought 5 speakers after hooking them up and turning on my system I had to turn it down from my usual listen volume they are so powerful and clear I was surprised and after listening to them for awhile I decided to keep them as you get a 30 day Free Return and am going to order 2 more to finish of my 7.1 system I have been that happy with Fluance I decided to buy the RT85 turntable but that’s for another review I would recommend them to everyone and you have nothing to lose since there’s a 30 day Free Return Policy.
