Product Review (submitted on November 20, 2015):

I don't usually gamble on a product that costs $499.99. It is truly terrible to invest a lot of money in something and have it backfire. I bought these speakers straight from the Fluance website, and without having an opportunity to see or hear them in person, I was nervous about what would actually show up at my doorstep. Well, these speakers look and sound beautiful. They are solidly constructed, and the grills, cherry finish, and piano-black front all compliment each other well. To my ears, they are slightly tailored to the low end of the sound spectrum, but I prefer that since I'm using them without a subwoofer in a simple 2.0 system. I know it's a cliched statement among speaker reviews, but I am actually hearing new sounds and presence in songs that I have heard a thousand times before. Everything sounds full and alive. (I listen to Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley, Kanye West, Katy Perry, etc.--It has handled everything well.)I bought these primarily for music. Those looking for a true cinema experience with movies should invest in either the entire 5.1 system or look elsewhere. I am running these with a Sony STR-DN30 receiver, and I use the built-in Bluetooth feature on the receiver for streaming my music since it's so easy and still sounds great.I am now a Fluance convert. I will definitely look to them for my music needs before looking elsewhere from now on. Five huge, huge stars! -Verified purchase from Fluance trusted store.
