Review: This is my second Fluance purchase. I bought the bipole speakers for rear use in my home theatre setup. Awesome speakers. Bought the these two-ways for stereo listening. I’ve broken them in for about 12 hours with classical music (Esteban Salas), the Grateful Dead, Evanescence, Heart, and some Blues by Albert King. As each hour’s gone by they’ve opened up nicely. The clarity is good, but some might think they’re a little warm. But, then again, I use a tube preamp and enjoy that vibe when listening to music. The size of these speakers is great for a small to midsized room. I’ve done some acoustic treatments in my listening retreat. These speakers aren’t hard to drive in terms of power. They do sound better as you give them a little juice. Lastly. as to value for the money, I don’t think they can be beat as to sound quality for the price, build quality, and appearance. I’ve used Klipsch, Sony, Yamaha, and Definitive Technology speakers over the years. I’ll stick with Definitive Technology for my home theatre. As for 2 channel or quadraphonic listening, Fluance is absolutely the place to be for me. I sold my Klipsch setup after falling in love with Fluance. If you like a brighter or sharper audio profile, I can understand why you’d stick with Klipsch. There’s a huge difference in tweeter response between the two brands. Only slight negative is that the bass response is at 50hz on these speakers. I think a sub is necessary to enjoying a full frequency response on the soundstage end. I’m using one of my Definitive Technology subs and it’s all blending well. The soundstage is enveloping now. I highly recommend these speakers.
Review: These speakers sound great! Perfect size. Nice, clear, even sound. Pretty good bass, but I bought the Fluance sub to go with it. But they would be decent without a sub. I am very happy. I bought these to go with my pawn shop 90's Technics receiver (I think around 80w a side), cd player and tape deck. Cabinets are very nice. I am really enjoying this brand.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i pair these with the fluance rt81 turntable or will i need additional pieces?**
A: You'll need to buy a stereo to serve as an amplifier. Sony has a great one for around $100.

**Q: Is there a way to connect these speakers to **both** a turntable AND a soundbar?**
A: No, these are a passive speaker and would have to be connected to an amplifier of some sort.

**Q: Are any cables included in the box with these speakers? If not, what cables are recommended? I will be using these for my turntable.**
A: No cables are not included, you can order speaker wire on line the gauge is recommended by Fluance

**Q: How do speakers attach to these stands?**
A: Thanks for your question David!

The speakers stands we offer do not attach to the speakers, they would sit on the platform with a cut out for the wire to run through that platform, through the pole, and to your amplifier/receiver.

*by D***O on 16 April 2023*

Was able to purchase an open box variant and they showed up in absolutely immaculate condition. Didn't even look like the box had been opened. Love the sound quality and they're more than enough for my small basement living area (15ft W x 20ft L) to go along with some SoundStage in-wall side and overhead speakers (5.1.2). Sound great for movies and music so far.
