I have watched this product for a few years now and it came time to go through and consolidate/update our home audio equipment and check out the latest technologies. This unit is MASSIVE and heavy ... all of which can be seen in the manual, but seriously, have two strong people ready to unpack and move this thing into place.Why we did not give it a 5-star rating?- No pre-drilled holes or riv nuts on the bottom for mounting to the provided stand. You have to drill into a perfectly finished base to mount it to the provided stand. Did you get this measured out and centered properly??? I would expect a better mounting solution at this price point.- The provided stand was too low for our listening room (main bedroom). A Monolith stand from Monoprice, filled with sand, worked perfect and greatly enhanced the soundstage by allowing this to come up to ear level.- Onboard BT technology is older. We purchased a more modern version of a BT receiver from Monoprice and that has worked fantastic, sounds better, and has more consistent connectivity that the built-in BT.- The menu switching is laggy and the FM tuner is slow, but it works.- You can get some rear port noise at higher volume, or with more bass-heavy tracks. We eneded up having to move our unit further from the back wall to reduce this noise.- Immaging might be better if the unit had the L/R speaker arrays further apart. That is just a theory and would need to be validated.What we found impressive about the unit.- It is a stunning powered speaker system, and well built. We ordered the bamboo/white unit (which is more expen$ive now at $749) and the finish is excellent. We eventually placed a small plant inside the center hole and that adds to the aesthetics.- Using an HD streaming service (we use Amazon Music) with an external DAC and a 3.5mm stereo cable into the Aux input allows the playback quality to shine. We tested with a AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt and the Emotiva Big Ego+ ... both attach directly to our phones via the USB port and performed exceptionally well. We ended up sticking with the Big Ego+ from Emotiva as it is 1/3 the price of the Cobalt. Neither my wife or myself could distinguish a sound quality difference between the two and the Big Ego+ is a headphone pre-amp and has a line-level 3.5mm line level output as well (the Cobalt does not).- Bass response is remarkable ... actually setting up three of these for your front three home theater speakers would be a stellar implementation and would likely warrant not needing a separate home theater subwoofer as these things start to roll off at around ~40Hz according to their published frequency response chart, and that sounds apprioriate based on our experience. You would need to figure out the cable adapters to send a mono signal to the stereo input for each speaker source.- It cames packed very well in a large box with extensive foam around it.Our remote appears to be a more updated model that includes a mute button, which we used plenty while swapping DACs during our testing. If this is intended for a smaller room, you will likely need to trim the bass down a notch or two. This thing will easily fill a medium to large room with plenty of high-quality sound.If you are looking for a less is more approach to a higher end audio experience then this is your ticket. No fiddling with separate components, cable lengths, figuring out speaker placement to optimize for your room accoustics, adding a separate subwoofer to get the full frequency range, etc. Just stream your preferred High Definition audio service to an updated external BT unit (with BT 5.0 or higher) and this will sound great. Adding a $80 external DAC turns this into a phenomenal sounding unit that few will be able to compare to at that collective price ($870).

If this thing was built better, I would give it 5 stars, but for the money, it is seriously lacking in a couple of regards. The touch panel and display are subpar, and the simulated wood finish is just contact paper. The holes to mount the base aren't even punched out. And that base....ugh. That is my major complaint. It's not structurally sound. The bottom part of the stand is attached to the post only by means of 4 small wood screws. I could not believe how flimsy this arrangement is given how top-heavy the speaker is. The base and support are doomed to fail or break after a short period of time. I will be looking for a more suitable base to put it on and removing it from the included stand before the darned thing falls over and breaks my foot or kills one of my dogs.

satisfaisant

Ok so assembly was an ordeal, and the main post holding the unit had a small crease in it. However it took so long to arrive and was so heavy to unbox, I just made sure the crease was to the back. Somehow one of the very tiny bags with the very tiny screws got loose amongst the voluminous packaging so we had a terrifying final few minutes of the assembly. Screws finally located we finished assembly and hoisted it into its place.Out of the box it sounded great. After the burn-in period it took our socks off and folded them for us. We have about 1700 square feet of home, and at 3/4 volume you can pretty much hear it anywhere in the house. And out on the front porch. We have a dumb tv so I purchased a high quality aux cable and connected it to the headphone jack of the tv. No sound issues at all. Hooked up the radio antennas and the tuners work great. Bluetooth has no issues unless I walk with my phone to the opposite side of the house. It will not handle multiple devices attached so be prepared to have to disconnect one source before connecting another.I'm not a true audiophile but I do know what I like. And I like this unit. A lot. From classical to rap to good old 80s dance music, this system puts out music you can feel. Literally. Bass is pounding but clear. Treble is crisp but not harsh. It's loud without hurting your ears. Most likely you will never use the max volume unless you are legally deaf.As reported elsewhere you really won't use the buttons on the unit much - stick to the remote control. Mildly annoying to have to cycle through the inputs and it pauses on each one, so when going from aux back to Bluetooth you get short blasts of FM and AM. Would have been nice to have a button for each source but I'm getting picky.The sound makes you forget all about any trivial issues. Buy it. And schedule an appointment with your chiropractor a couple days after the arrival date.

Wrinkled laminate.?? How could be acceptable to any QC inspector with even a cursory examination. It's such an obvious defect that should have been remedied before it was ever packed. I noticed it before it was even unwrapped completely.

Ive had the Fluance FI 70n for 3 years with no problems, granit I haven't played it a whole lot. I lover my music loud , I go to a lot of concerts and I love hard rock heavy metal, here lately when I play my speakers. they sound Busted , that's frustrating because I paid my hard earned money for them . Fluance doesn't seem as of now to care, granite it is the weekend , but something tell me because have had them for almost 4 years they will tell me I'm on my own. I Rarely play them at all, That's what has me jazzed up about this. I don't see a good solution to my problem because they don't sell individual replacement speakers that I'm aware of and my warranty is close to out of date

Stunning, eye catcher AND Sound quality is, in fact, incredible. Unit is 80lbs! Wish for a higher max volume and ability to synch with Samsung TV (had to using optical). Remote control drains battery after 2 days (seems to always be on or something). Another wish is to be able to add/synch with other Fluance speakers.

Great BT speaker. Full and detailed sound, albeit very sensitive to the volume setting on the device you're playing through - too much device volume = too much bass.We have had it for 4 years and then recently the BT unit in the speaker stopped working. FM/AM sound is OK but no Bluetooth, which kinda defeats the purpose. And with only 2 years of warranty we can now try and repair it ourselves or throw it out. Fluance do not have any authorized repair facilities in the U.S.We will NOT purchase another one - even if it sounds great.

Great sound but the Bluetooth is substandard. Takes sometimes two or three attempts to establish connection. Has a tendency to "skip" for a beat or two. Pop up handles would be appreciated to make it easier to move as it is very heavy.

I have owned the Fi70 for over a year now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it. The 3-way design delivers great clarity throughout the extensive frequency response range. I bought this for the purpose of having room filling sound while entertaining and while it certainly fills that roll, I was happy to hear how well it does for near field listening. For a single cabinet design, you get surprisingly good separation when sitting in the sweet spot. I particularly enjoy listening to vinyls when connected to my Fluance RT81 turntable. If quality room filling sound and conversation worthy design are important to you, then the Fi70 will not disappoint.

The Fi70 is a spectacular creative artistic and very musical unit. I purchased two of these units and the sound quality gets better and better the more music time is played. Now I have been having an issue with a beeping sound coming during music playback and I called customer service and spoke with an amazing and so helpful customer service representative named REBECCA! She instructed me on how to resolve the problem and said the problem might be with an alarm that I unknowingly set on the unit. The quality of these units are amazing and they blow away anything else on the market. The price range is very reasonable. The best part about this company is the people and Rebecca is a stellar example of just a wonderful human being that is so helpful and kind. I usually do not leave reviews, however because of my experience here with Rebecca, as well as my satisfaction with FLUANCE, I am leaving a five star review. I would give 10 stars !!!!

Remote sucks blue tooth range is pitiful

Perhaps overpriced. Heavy as a tank. The box arrived pretty beat up and I was concerned about damage to the speaker. Out of the box was quick and easy to set up. BT connection was a breeze and I was playing music in under a minute. It works like things should in 2022. I'd buy it again. Go Canada!

Did not use. To huge for my mancave. Had to return.

This is the best sound quality speakers I have ever owned. Everything sounds awesome, classical, heavy metal just name it. The base from this speaker has rearranged my desk ornaments. Wow
