Product Review (submitted on November 7, 2016):

Alright, here goes. I read the great reviews on these speakers and had been contemplating whether to buy them or not. Finally, after several months of reviews reading and Youtube watching on these speakers I went ahead and got them. They were packaged VERY nicely and I was thankful for that. So I got them out and hooked them up to an SMSL SA-50 amp. I noticed the speakers were VERY bright right from the start with no bass at all. I like my speakers to be very clear but these were almost too much to bear at first. I put a few hours on them to get the break in period over with to see if they would loosen up. I still couldn't get any bass out of them so I moved them to an Onkyo TX-8020 receiver I've got. Even when playing with the bass knobs there was still no bass coming from these speakers at all. I knew then they were going to have to have a subwoofer. Now look, I was not expecting 'House Party' type bass from these speakers and no one else should either, but there just wasn't any bass. Now, I hooked them back up to the SMSL and added a Polk Audio subwoofer and BOOM, that is when these speakers shine! I'm getting the clarity from the Fluance's along with the lows from the subwoofer and it's turned into a nice combination. I was going to take away one star for having no bass, but they sound so good when paired with a subwoofer that I just couldn't do it. Look, if you need a nice clear pair of speakers to play music or movies with, these are going to be just fine, but if you want to rattle the windows with bass, these aren't going to do it. - Verified Store
