Their power capacity is actually a little underrated so a little more power will not damage them as long as the amplifier is providing "clean" power. Overcranking is not good for speakers and you should not turn the volume any higher if you hear any distortion from the speakers. Back to Top Where can I find Fluance Speakers?

Fluance Speakers are sold in pairs or sets. The price that you see includes both speakers or the set. Back to Top Do I require a powered subwoofer with my speakers? Powered subwoofers are a good addition to any home theater system. The increased low frequency effect provided by our powered subwoofers is noticeable and adds the rumble required to feel movies and music. With almost all home theater receivers, you can pass the LFE (the subwoofer channel) to the mains, which works well with full-range speakers that are capable of reproducing low bass frequencies like most of our floorstanding models. The LFE channel is often mistaken as the only source of bass and referred to as the "subwoofer" channel. The real intention of the LFE is only to reinforce movie sound effects that already exist on other channels which makes it fairly optional. If you choose not to use a powered subwoofer with your system all you have to do is set the main speakers to “large” in the configuration menus of your receiver, and subwoofer setting to “none” to pass the LFE to the main speakers. Back to Top What material are the speaker enclosures constructed with? Fluance enclosures are made with MDF. All enclosures are internally braced for extra support and to ensure proper acoustics.
