Review: Crisp clear highs and bass you can feel! - Let me begin by saying that I am not an audiophile, so this review is not written from that perspective. I needed to replace the speakers I was using for my home stereo system. One would probably characterize my equipment as “entry level,” but the specs are somewhat impressive (bearing in mind the prices I paid). I love listening to music (of varying genres) so I want my system to deliver the best possible sound quality for what I can afford to pay. In my search for my perfect speakers, I did a lot of research and listened to countless speaker demonstrations. I finally decided on these Fluance floor standing speakers; but I was leery of how well they would survive shipping – I figured that speakers of this size and weight might be a little too fragile to survive the rough handling that most packages receive during transit. After reading and considering all the reviews that mentioned shipping and how well these speakers were packaged, I decided it was worth taking a chance; so, I went ahead and ordered them. When the speakers arrived (less than a week after ordering), the outer boxes were quite badly beat up. Right away I expected the worst. When I opened the outer boxes, I saw that the inner boxes also showed damage, albeit slight. I must say, though, the speakers themselves were VERY well protected, and when all the packaging was removed, they stood in what appeared to my eyes to be perfect condition. However, ultimately their true condition would depend on the quality of the sound they produced. As I hooked them up, I kept my fingers crossed. When I first heard these speakers perform, I was totally blown away. The highs came through crisp and as clear as a bell; and I could actually feel the bass! All in all, it turns out that these speakers are one of the best (if not THE best) audio purchases I have ever made. I am truly impressed. I even route the sound through these speakers when watching television. I waited a couple of weeks to post this review because I wanted to ensure of the accuracy of what I was saying. The bottom line is this: I have absolutely no problem at all recommending these speakers to anyone who, like me, is living on a budget yet wants outstanding sound quality. I’m really glad I got these speakers.
Review: Very good value - I won't get into fine details with this and keep it simple. I have them paired with a yamaha RX-V4A, a reference centre channel and two fluance bipolar rears. Doesn't matter if you are running analog signals from records or digital from a television the output is amazing (to me anyway). For a moderate room, the down firing subs in these towers are more than enough to get those deep lows you are looking for. You can get better by paying more, but I personally don't think you will find better at this price point. Also, I smile everytime I see that Canadian flag attached to the rear of them. Love them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need a subwoofer with these big towers?**
A: I'd describe the 8" down firing speakers as woofers, not subwoofers.  For music, you will likely not feel you need a sub, unless you're into a genre such as (C)rap.  For movies, I still like to augment the bass with my two 12" subs (and couch mounted bass kickers :-D ).

**Q: Is the price per speaker or pair?**
A: Per pair

**Q: Are there bass/treble adjustments that can be made with these? Just wanted to know before considering purchase.**
A: No. Have to make bass/treble adjustments with receiver or amplifier whichever you use. These are wonderful speakers.

**Q: Do these speakers require a amp?**
A: Yes, they are passive, so they need amplification from a receiver or amp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pair of speakers.
*by B***. on 12 April 2025*

I love these speakers. The sound is crystal clear, soft and warm, not brash. Some speakers can be a little heavy on the high end frequencies but these are very well balanced. I haven't even broken them in yet and they already sound amazing. Don’t be fooled by the apparent missing woofer. It is hidden inside the cabinet and is down-firing for a multi- directional projection of the low end frequencies. These are beautiful to look at as well.
