Product Review (submitted on November 20, 2015):

I was looking for speakers to replace the big, ugly Sony speakers that came with my stereo system over a decade ago. Those Sony speakers are a 3-way design and have a 6.5" woofer, so they sound reasonably good and produce pretty deep bass, but I knew there was more that could be achieved.These Fluance speakers are exactly what I was hoping for. In comparison to my old Sony's, they have much more presence and far more detail in the highs (despite being only a 2-way design). They're plenty loud and the bass extends just as far as it should for a speaker this size. Still, I use these with an 8" Sound Dynamics subwoofer and they really come to life. All in all, the Fluance SX6 simply sound great, bringing clarity to music without being harsh. I ordered these for $130 straight from the manufacturer and, for that price, they're worth every penny and then some. These speakers could easily sell for $250/pair.To further describe their sound signature, the Fluance SX6 sound very similar to the Micca MB42, which I also own. But they improve on that design by being much less harsh in the upper mids and highs, and by extending to much lower frequencies as well. But this is obviously accomplished through the superior size of the Fluances. They're not small by any means, measuring almost 14 inches high and 8 inches wide. On top of that, they're rather weighty. But the similarities are not in sound alone; the black wood grain of the Fluances is EXACTLY the same as on the Miccas. Together, they look like they come from the same manufacturer. So if you're thinking of matching the Fluances with smaller Surrounds, the Miccas would be a good bet because the look and sound are both so similar.There's not much more I can say about this product. They're simply good sounding, solidly constructed speakers, and they're CHEAP. If you're in need of true bookshelf speakers or main speakers for your home theater, I cannot recommend the Fluance SX6 enough. -Verified purchase from Fluance trusted store.
