Wow. I am so glad I found out about these speakers! I was a little skeptical because they were so much cheaper than most quality speakers, but they have found a forever home in my theater. Once the break-in period came and went, these XL8’s warmed up nicely. I am putting 100 wpc RMS in a 5.0 system (the subs were sold out!), and while I could be happy without a sub, I will likely get one just for that over-the-top kick. I couldn’t believe the frequency response on the low-end either (I am bi-amped btw). There were some bass coming from the the woofers in these that could only be felt, not heard. Overall, I was prepared to spend twice as much, but am really satisfied with my purchase. Great job, Fluance! I will be spreading the word in my audiophile groups!

When I was searching for a budget speaker system, the high sound quality wasn't my priority but the new Fluance Reference speaker sound quality exceeds my expectations. You need to listen to the acoustic quality of this speaker set. It is very sweet and powerful. I was also lucky to purchase this speaker during the promotion and I got a free 12' subwoofer. I love my 5.2.2 setup and indeed the entire family is relieved of COVID-19 stress.
Another thing that I cherished most was the customer support. The order came with a missing floorstanding tower speaker. I contacted Fluance customer care and the support was exceptional. I must confess, this is the best support I have ever had in Canada. Thank you Julie for the exceptional job.
