Product Review (submitted on November 7, 2016):

This is my first purchase of Fluance products. I was looking at the Polk T50 and the Pioneer 52 floorstanding speakers before I pulled the trigger on these. I'm using an Onkyo tx-8020 high current 50wpc receiver with Sewell 12 guage pure copper wire tipped with their Silverlight plugs. When I first fired them up, frankly I was not impressed. The highs seemed shrill, midrange was inaccurate, and bass was barely evident. This was with the receiver running flat. Remembering the burnin period, I didn't do any critical listening for the first ten hours(the advised breakin period by Fluance). At that time, the bass was there, accurate and tight, but mids and high frequency were still not very accurate. I figured for $159 a pair, that's what you get. I planned to use them as spares after that and started looking at other speaker models. Then, something happened...
At about 35-40 hours the entire speaker smoothed out nicely! Suddenly every genre of music I could throw at the little guys was spot on..very musically accurate and not fatiguing listening to! Since then, they've gotten better it seems with every listen! I am now VERY satisfied, and would rate these speakers with anything I've heard up to the 3-400 apiece range. At their price, you can't go wrong. They do love high volume, which the Onkyo has no trouble providing in my 15 x 15 room. Just remember, the 10 hour breakin is not sufficient to let these speakers settle in, IMO. 35 to 50 hours in, a night and day difference. Thanks Fluance for a very nice speaker at a great price!
