Product Review (submitted on July 17, 2018):

Firstly I'm far from an audiophile but I think I've got good ears and I can appreciate a quality recording played back with nice equipment. I picked up this Fluance speaker to replace an old Kenwood speaker that was given to me to then replace a terrible surround-in-a-box kit speaker. I already have 2 other Fluance floorstanding speakers and think they're excellent so the choice to continue with Fluance was easy especially at their price point. The speaker arrived very well packed with a box inside a box and wrapped in plastic and foam. The quality is apparent immediately. The speaker has a surprising amount of weight behind it (16 pounds) and the entire cabinet feels very sturdy. It has some small rubber isolation feet on the bottom which have plenty of grip to help it hold onto the shelf that will be it's home. The sides of the cabinet have a nice black simulated wood grain and the front of the speaker is a high-gloss black. One of the coolest features is the front grille; it's magnetic. You can take the grille off or put it on without tools and no visible attachment points. But all of that aside how does it sound? Really good. Again I'm not an expert but I can tell you that upgrading my center speaker was well worth it. Dialog in movies is much crisper and easier to hear and understand. Little tiny detail sounds in movies that I would never have noticed seem pronounced and have a sharp feel to them. I've got probably 20 hours of sound through it so far and it gets better the more I listen. It has a very good sensitivity/efficiency of 92dB so it can get pretty loud without a ton of amplifier power. My one and only complaint is with the speaker wire terminals. They are very difficult to tighten and loosen and if you use banana clips (like I do) they do not plug in all the way; they're just a little short and the clip doesn't sit flush with the base of the terminals. - Verified Store
