Product Review (submitted on January 28, 2016):

The largest purchase factor between just pulling the trigger and buying these vs. clicking away and going for a much more "known" brand is the fact that they are not on display in stores there for listening to them is impossible and taking their word for what your ears hear is absolutely ridiculous. Most first reactions would be to go to a local electronic store and listen to a different speaker or system as my initial reaction has always been. I've gone threw Bose speakers, Polk Speakers, and B&W Speakers. I decided for the cost I've watched the brand grow for a few years and I should give them a shot. This is the first purchase I have ever made from Fluance and I was honestly extremely worried about the speakers quality but figured this speaker is visually appealing and seems to have a lot of work put into it. Compared to lower models and their last higher end system this set seems more on my level and what i was looking for.

I Purchased the walnut version. First lets start with opening the box. Double boxed which was fantastic. I was thrilled to see the foam completely surrounding the whole speaker not just the sides with a wrapped thin sheet. The packaging is fantastic. Then I pulled it out and noticed the wood is very dark almost black but just brown enough to look modern and elegant. I didn't see any literature on the speakers Grill online however I figured it would come with one and it did. A magnetic grill that has a very strong set of magnets. Ive never seen this on a speaker. All of the Polk Monitor speakers I bought had grills that arrived smashed because of packaging and built quality so this is a very nice surprise the wood and glossy black front of the speaker is absolutely beautiful and the speakers themselves look like those found on higher end B&W speakers. I plugged it into my Marantz SR6005 this is not a high end receiver just one that's good enough to get the job done. Turned the levels of all the other speakers down completely and put the receiver in multi-channel stereo. I'm seriously blown away. Vocal Quality is right on target. Singers sound so clear and clean with no distortion at high levels. Movie dialogue sounds very targeted like to the point. And sound image seems to be a pretty large sound stage. With the Polk speakers I could stare at the speaker and hear the dialogue coming from it. This just seems much wider and pleasant. Right out of the box it sounds much better than my Polk CS2 sii $299 retail then compared to my Polk CSI A6 $399 which both have larger speakers. The clarity on this speaker is amazing and should be heard. I will be completing and converting the rest of my living room to match and at this price point its a no-brainer. This Series of speakers is exactly what i needed to take Fluance seriously and make a purchase. I will gladly be converting my family and friends to Fluance. Keep up the work guys these are amazing!!!!!
