Product Review (submitted on November 20, 2015):

Quick Synopsis: If you pair these speakers with a good receiver the sound will knock your socks off. Incredible mid range, good bass, and nice highs. For $120 these speakers are one of the best values in audio. These speakers have great reviews for a reason!More Details: I bought these speakers to pair with a pristine Pioneer SX-1000TW (circa 1970) 50wpc receiver as a Christmas present for my wife.Rating speakers is always difficult because their are so many factors that can impact what you hear. As I said, I paired these speakers with a Pioneer SX-1000TW. I tested them connecting my laptop and playing hi-resolution MP3 through an HRT Music Streamer II DAC. I played Alan Jackson Drive, Adelle 21, and Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here, and John Coltrane Ascension. These speakers even sounded great plugging an iPod directly into the receivers aux jack.The clarity and detail of the mid range was phenomenal. Close your eyes and it sounded like the singer was in your room singing. I could hear David Gilmour moving down the fretboard on Wish You Were Here. The separation of sound was just off the hook. I was also amazed at the detail of the sound when played at low volumes, though I am not sure how much of that is due to the receiver. The soundstage was superb, though frankly good soundstage has a lot to do with how the music gets mixed in the studio.I own a pair of Wharfsdale Diamond 10.1 which are excellent speakers at 3x the price point. I have to admit if I had to pick I would take the Fluance SX6, and not because of price difference. I just think they are a better sounding speaker.Finally, these speakers arrived in an Amazon box that I did not find all the well packed. However, inside was the Fluance box. Actually Fluance double boxes their speakers and does so in a way that they could probably fall off the delivery truck and be undamaged.Well worth the money at twice the price. -Verified purchase from Fluance trusted store.
