One speaker was in a box without a picture and Fluance labeled. When connected top woofer was resonating and making electrostatic noise. Could not believe it at first as these looked nice. But then I recall white van speakers' story when people would buy good-looking staff with bad sound. Return looks like a pain too

I bought the predecessor to these speakers in 2013 (nearly identical) and I still get childishly excited to listen to them, they are insanely great speakers, Really...

Find a Class A or AB amp and you won't regret a thing.

J'aui reçu mes enceintes Fluance xl8 mardi dernier. Livré rapidement! J'ai aussi en ma possession la version précédente soit xl7. Je dois dire que la nouvelle version xl8 est une belle amélioration de la précédente version. Tous les hauts parleurs ont été changés ainsi que le crossovers. L'étagement entre les trois voix est mieux construit que sur la version xl7 donc une très bonne balance entre grave, medium et aigus. Après les avoir fait jouer pendant 12 heures le son s'est ouvert avec une réponse bien équilibrée. Une autre belle amélioration est la présence de deux évents à l'arrière qui permettent aux basses fréquences de descendre jusqu'à 35 herz. Après avoir fait des tests avec plusieurs styles de musique je suis très satisfait de mon achat. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Je les recommande sans hésitation.

the speakers sound crystal clear,they look great,not as much bass as i expected but good overall sound.

Simply brilliant . I never wanted to replace my Bose 901 speakers I have enjoyed for over 15 years . Since redoing my mancave over the winter , my son indicated the Bose simply did not suit the room . He was right . I went to Amazon to research tower speakers . I was born and raised Canadian but proudly live in Buffalo , Ny for over 35 years . We are located 35 minutes from Niagara Falls , Canada . Fluance are manufactured there . I received them the next day after ordering...WOW . I tested the new speakers with a great variety of music . I was blown away by the sound on all levels . They are beautifully built inside and out . I consider myself an audiophile since the 70's . I have been through many speakers over the years and these are fantastic . The Fluance speakers are an absolute steal for the money . Good day , eh .

All other high rated reviews cover everything nicely. Flew these in to Australia off the back of Andrew Robinson’s YouTube video. As the title says “Just Brilliant”

These speakers are awesome. They sound incredible and the value is excellent. I would have thought the speakers cost a lot more. I haven't turned on my subwoofers since I received them. I would definitely recommend them.

Grate speakers 4 the money best of all not made in China!!!!!!! Good quality sound quality is awesome very satisfied

I was growing bored with my 5.1 system (another brand) and wanted to go back to a pure 2 channel system. Partly because of where I live and current restrictions, I was not able to go to shops and audition speakers so I bought these speakers based on reviews and spec's... I am not disappointed! I have them paired up with a high end Yamaha amplifier (connected with heavy bi-wired cable and banana plugs) and an RT-85 turntable complete with record weight. My taste in music is all over the map...classical, blues, rock, folk, jazz... these play them all well. A few things to keep in mind: 1-due to their low sensitivity, they need to be pushed, 2-they really need time to break in...more than the 10 hours suggested and 3-like most speakers, positioning is critical...I spent a lot of time playing with angles, distances and location to get the soundstage just right... well worth the effort and time...they sound and look amazing!

Great all-round speaker. The sound seems to be natural and transparent and the floor firing sub woofers are not over whelming, but well balanced to where the bass is defined but it doesn't take over or over or interfere with the mid or the high range response .

These are very good speakers and don't cost a fortune. Very clear and with a surprising amount of bass, excellent midrange and the tweeters project well.

Fluance was recommended to me by my “audiophile “ friend. I had been looking at Polk Audio and Klipsch. He recommended these towers by reading the specs alone. Once I ordered them, he wanted to be there when I got them! Connected to my Yamaha A-S501 amp, I was very impressed and he was happy with the the performance. But, the “HOLY SH—“ moment occurred a few days later when a played a ZZ TOP tune at about half power! My wife was blown away too. As a result, we now have a pair of these in the family room and a pair in the living room powered by the Yamaha. You won’t be disappointed by these. Size does matter!

I just got a set of these paired with a Marantz PM5005 and a Fluance RT83 and I couldn't be happier. They sound amazing! Nice punchy bass with balanced mids and highs. I listen to mostly rock, metal, and classic rock type stuff with a little bit of old school rap mixed in and these are perfect for that kind of music. They were a little bit larger than I was expecting, but they look absolutely beautiful! Very happy with my purchase!

Great sound. Fantastic value. You will think you spent $2000 on speakers. Great purchase

I listen to vocals and classical musics in addition to my 5.1.2 Atmos setup for movies. These two speakers has a perfect height of the tweeters to couch listening position. The sound field for 2ch Stereo mode is surprisingly full with depth. Sometimes I couldn't even tell my center and rear speakers were off. Material also is high end with beautiful finishes. For they price they are at is amazing. I don't have a pair of $1000+ speakers to compare them with, but these will do for me!
