Signature Series Hi-Fi Bipolar Surround Sound Speakers

These are wall-mounted as left and right surround, and the results are fantastic! I've owned at least 5 pairs of quality surround speakers over the years, and these are absolutely the best. I tend to crossover all of my speakers 10Hz above their rated bottom end, and the fact that these speakers dig down to 40Hz produces a large and warm sound. Their bipolar quality is also very evident. If this is the type of sound you're going for in surround speakers, look no further. Fluance support is also superior. I asked many questions before purchasing these and was provided with timely and honest answers. Yes, they're a little on the large size for surround speakers, but the sound benefits they produce is worth the extra wall space.

Picked up a set of these on sale (2019) to replace a set of Elite series (SX-6) I had been using in the kitchen - not only for better looks, but for better sound dispersion.
After installing and doing some playback from a few sources I feel they sound better as well, very happy.

Excellent surround sound speakers that bring surround sound effects in movies to life like I've never heard. These speakers are playing in a custom-built home theater room that was built to one of the “golden ratios” for home theater, the Volkmann ratio of 1.0 : 1.5 : 2.5 (The Home Theater Book). With minimal acoustic panels in place, this architectural feature of the home theater accentuates subtle nuances in digital sound processing effects for music and movies like I've never experienced. So the point is I instantly can hear the difference between DSP effects and the quality of speakers.

I have auditioned these speakers for about three weeks with one of the best scenes for surround sound effects and action sequences I know in the film Act of Valor that features actual Navy Seals in a recreation of a CIA agent hostage rescue. The sound improvement as the Navy Seals drop into the jungle in Central America and move through the operation was so dramatic in comparison to the other Fluance surround speakers, Reference High Performance Two-Way Bipolar Surround Speakers, I had installed previously that it was definitely a “wow” experience even though I'd watched that scene many times before since 2013. The sound is like what you want to hear in a movie theater, but usually don’t because you sit in the “sweet spot” in a home theater unlike in a large movie theater.

For DSP effects that recreate an acoustic environment from two channel stereo I am still working on tweaking them and so I can't give a verdict on whether they are better than the Reference High Performance Two-Way Bipolar Surround Speakers I had in the Left-Right surround channel before I installed these ones. I often listen to classical music with Yamaha's Natural Sound DSP that attempts to recreate the sound of a concert hall in Vienna, more reverb than a dry concert hall, or studio, or other DSP effects, and these add a lot of depth and a much wider sound stage, but I couldn’t say that I actually hear them during classical music listening. Of course, that is the point, you don’t want to hear the surround sound speakers. The improvement in sound quality with DSP on two-channel stereo is less noticeable at this time after listening to these speakers for about three weeks.

As soon as I have the recordings and technology to listen to classical music recorded for Dolby Atmos I expect to hear an increased sense of the acoustic environment of the concert hall/venue and a far more three-dimensional sound, but I won’t know until I hear it for myself in my home theater.

Take Away: For film soundtracks and surround sound that is designed by an audio engineer for a cinematic experience in Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1, that is the same precision Left-Right placement of surround sound effects as audio engineered in a Dolby Atmos system these speakers work amazing. They achieve the cinematic sound experience you expect when you install surround sound speakers. Highly recommended.

I have these speakers as rears in a 5.1 system. They are mounted about 6.5' on the side walls to the rear of my listening area. I have Klipsch towers and center channel up from. I have an older JVC 5.1 DTS receiver at 100W / Ch. These Fluance Bi-Pole speakers sound very good especially when watching action movies in surround sound. I also love the sound when listening to 5 CH stereo. They blend wel with my Klipsch Speakers and they were about 1/2 the cost. Great value i'd say. If I hadn't have already bought my Klipsch, I would have bought the Fluance towers and center also...

To be honest, these seem like overkill for surround speakers, but boy do movies with a nice surround mix come alive when these speakers kick in. I have no basis for comparison to other "dedicated" surround speakers or other bipolar speakers but I am very happy with these speakers thus far, and this is using them in a very big room. Can't wait to bring these into my future home theatre setup.

First off all, very well packed! Double boxes, thick foam packaging and fast shipping. Great customer service by the way. One review on YouTube say there are not good for music... Not true at all! You can
listen to Iron Maiden (Metal) to Céline Dion with great sound. Before buying I searched for every speakers Brands. I compared reviews. The price, sound quality, warranty and craftsmanship! At the end the choice was simple. Fluance! Now I know! I’ve made the best choice!

I purchased the 10" Sub with Signature center, Signature Bipolar surrounds to use as our front main speakers and the classic bipolar surrounds setup for the rear channels. I did not want large front speakers and did not want to be under powered with our current amp which claims 90w RMS per side and 145w x 7.1 channels. I am really pleased with the look and quality of the setup and after a few days all I can say is... WOW! Great stuff with awesome clarity and stage presence.The build quality is excellent and the break in period and auto setup feature on the amp really brought these to life. So happy with my choice of purchase!

I'm using them as a side surround speakers sound is pretty good. The problem was with the mounting on the wall it doesn't allow to use banana plugs. They should include a template to make the wall installation easier. - Verified Store

not broke in yet but I'm sure they will be great like the rest of the signature speakers I now have them all and one bass with one more bass to get
the system sounds awesome. - Verified Store

Great speakers for the money. - Verified Store

After adding these (4) for my 7.1 it was like listening with an upgraded receiver. Only caution is an over site by Amazon and I have reported this to them and Fluance. When you order these Amazon includes 'walnut' in the description but the part number used is for the the 'black ash'. Overall 10 Thumbs up!! - Verified Store

My thoughts here are my initial reflections: The Speakers .....Signature Series Hi-Fi BiPole Surround Sound Speakers are very elegant to look at. Picking up the speaker one feels that it is a very solid piece of engineering. Looking at the back of the speakers they seem very well to my eye. The speaker cable connectors are solid and provide a very tight tight. This assures me that I am getting all of the signal being put out by my Arcam AVR.. Looking over the all the finished sides of this speaker tells me that FLUANCE went the extra mile and then some for the price. The angled front/sides are a very attractive high gloss finish. WOW! i am impressed. The magnetic grills are nice Touch of Class.
After spending quite a bit of time on their website reading product description, purchaser's reviews and reviews by professional publications. I bought a pair ......No I just did not purchase a pair but a 'Pair of Pair's " . My purchase was to complement and upgrade my surround sound speaker system from a 5.1 to a 7.1.
Currently I am in the process of breaking them in and shall have a review of their audio/sound qualities.
I placed my purchase order just after the noon hour and received my order the very next day............In my book that is service!!!. After all I wanted to start playing with my new toys.
The speakers were 'double boxed' ............now I have purchased a centre channel speaker which cost 10 times the price of The Fluance Surrounds and it wasn't double boxed.

Seem OK i do not like the thin fabric on the grills, this is an oversight on their part as fabric is not that expensive to have put a sturdier one on.. maybe they thought it lets more sound through IDK but i am afraid of any slight misstep and having a hole in them.Speaker wise I have no issue with, compact nice LR surround speakers got them as a standard speaker just stood out to far, and i like the bipolar feature.. helps spread the sound around from the sides.They are smaller than they look in the pictures but are big enough to know you have a good speaker in place. - Verified Store

Great sounding Bi-Poles, but Fluance engineers need a kick in the but for not spacing the mounting brackets right. In the USA, studs are typically located 16' on center.This speaker is almost 17' wide and could easily be adapted to a two stud USA standard stud spacing and make for a rock solid mount.I have no idea what their engineers were thinking when they put the mounting brackets roughly 10 inches apart. And as others have said, a mounting template would be great to pre-drill holes. - Verified Store

These work perfectly with my fluance book shelf speakers and towers, have gotten lots of compliments on how the whole room it's filled with sound. They sound better Everytime. - Verified Store
