I purchased these after reading a recommendation on an audiophile board. I am using them with two Tinysine 50W amplified bluetooth boards for true wireless stereo. I installed Equalizer APO on my computer to adjust the sound the way I wanted it. I get amazing bass for the size of the speakers. Frequencies below 63hz are boosted 20db in the software. The EQ boost eliminated the need for a subwoofer in my case. Bluetooth does not give true audiophile quality sound, but it is good enough for my purposes. Everything I had hoped for from a bookshelf size speaker. If you want to shake the walls, you will still need a subwoofer.

Excelentes monitores de entrada para audiofilos. Gran nitidez de agudos y graves con gran potencia. Muy buena manufactura. Después de 2 aos los sigo disfrutando, lo mismo en rock que en clasica

Don't do months of research like I did. Save yourself the time and buy these bad boys.

Fluance seems to know what they're doing. These speakers sound good, nothing like Triangle Borea BR02 good, but ok for background music. The XL8S's do, however, sound much better than Polk ES15's. The good enough XL8S sound is a definite "Win." Took a chance on an open box set direct from Fluance. Like new condition for a bit of a discount. Another "Win." The speakers deliver a broad and full sound stage even if they're a bit bass light. Suits my "kitchen system" just fine. Give them a try. You might like them too.

These sound great. You will not be disappointed.Bob

....to some Debussy, orchestrated 24 preludes, terrific sound for the price.

This is my second pair of Reference bookshelf’s. My first pair I’m using as my front left and right and they perform fantastically, and the second pair I’m using as my Atmos height speakers. Adding the second pair has brought Atmos effects up to another level. I can’t recommend Fluance enough. High quality speakers at an extremely affordable price!

Replaced some old speakers (they were $350 each retail) with these Fluance speakers. I have an amp pumping 50W to each and they sound great. They definitely need a subwoofer though.

Outstanding speakers right out of the box. Can’t wait for them to get broken in. These sound and look better than more expensive speakers I have owned. The walnut finish with the black glossy class up my mostly black components.

I wanted tower speakers to go in our 20 X 24 great room but I compromised and for the WAF these are a great option. I honestly can not crank these over half volume and for music they are superb! I paired with the Elite series bipolars and watching Movies is fantastic. Of course you'll want a good sub, the one we got is the Jamo c910 which pairs great with this set. Now to get that 75 inch TV

For the price I don't think the speakers can be beat. I replaced my old rear channel LG speakers & these are noticeably better. Louder....clearer...more immersive.

The parcel was shipped before time, pristine condition and ratio sound quality/price hard to beat.

These are classy looking. I'm not an audiophile by any means but they really sound clear and crisp. Bass is good. Everything I wanted from a budget speaker

To all the reviews saying these lack bass or bottom end....well you don't say huh????? There 5.25" bookshelf speakers....what else do you expect?? They do absolutely soo much more then can be expected and they do it well....very well!! People just need to get there expectations in check......if u want bigger louder output??? Then buy bigger speakers!!! Don't buy bookshelfs' and expect stadium type output and then complain about....."I bought this tractor but can't keep up with the Lamborghini's"............what happened to common sense??????

I use these every night with my receiver using it's sleep timer. Also makes the "doors" sound great.
