GREAT SPEAKERS for STEREO and HOME THEATER! FLUANCE Speakers UNDER 600

sincerely compared to POLK R700?????

We are still using a 5.1 set from over 20 years ago.

How does this compare to Klipsch speakers?

Great Review! I know this is an older video, but hoping you or someone in the comments can answer a question. Will my Denon Denon AVR-S570BT power these speakers, even though it's rated at 70 watts at 8ohms?

I'm aware this is an old old video (Shane on you, no Kristi commentary lol) however my question is when bi-amping what speaker/s are being powered separately? Thx

How would these compare to the c95 mk2 they around the same price (sub 1000$ floor standing)

1,000% recommend. had a set of the early model towers for about 10 years now and i've only had a minor issue pop up the once, i cannot stress how taken aback i was at how easy it was to get the speaker fixed and it didn't cost me a dime! the team was great, Lifetime warranty. I love blowing friends minds when i sit them down in front of real speakers and they get lost for a couple hrs. so cool

Would you advise to pick these or the wharfedale diamond 12.4s for both performance and looks?

👍 great ...

Plwase help..What do you think about the klipsch 300 F tower speakers?..I have the Denon 5.1 with Bose 301V speakers..I have $600 for speakers.the 300 F I can get or should I keep looking?..Please help

I have a set. They are good, but lack a fuller full clean
bass sound on low volume.

They aren't very efficient :/

Im on a very tight budget.and new to the hobby..ease someone help me decide..emotiva t1..fluance reference..towers.or the polk r200 bookshelf???? Those are the 3 i have narrowed it down to for a smaller room.17 x 13...also looking at the wharfdale 12.3 on sale for a tad more

Any chance you could get them to send you their newer Signature 3-way floorstanding speakers to review? I'm REALLY curious how they stack up against some of the same types of speakers in that size range. They LOOK nice, but do they sound as nice as some of your others that you've reviewed like the Heco Aurora or Klipsch RP 8000F? I'm looking to get some new speakers and these caught my attention (for their pricing and looks) but I don't have anywhere to listen to a pair of them. LOVE all your reviews! Keep up the great work!

I'm so incredibly confused about what receiver to get. I just bought these speakers and need some major help. I already have a Fluance RT85 turntable/subwoofer and just need to know what receiver to buy to adequately power the turntable. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

How would you say these stack up to Jamo s809s? I currently have the JBL HLS 5.1 system. Do you think going with Jamo or Fluance would be an upgrade?

Fluance set up or the polk S60. Currently my front stage is Polk t50 with cs10 Surround are klipsch r41.

The thing that sets these towers apart from others for me is the integrated down firing subwoofer. Any other lower/mid priced tower that you or another person seem to review ultimately gets to the part where you (or they) say something like "if you want to reproduce the lower end, you are going to want to pair these with a subwoofer" - the Jamo S809 is a perfect example. I hope to get a pair of these XL8F speakers for listening to my rock music collection because the Klipsch Heresy II speakers I've had since 1985 just don't do that music justice... without a subwoofer.
Gotta say too - the Fluance 30 day risk free in home trial is a HUGE bonus to me. I like that I will be able to try them out in MY listening space with MY audio components and MY music for an extended period time and return them postage paid if they don't work for me. That is awesome.

Thank you!!

Hi new subscriber but I’ve been watching your channel for months , I have the klipsch r610f and I really like them but I want more lol , are these speakers better qualify sound than my klipsch , thanks in advance I trust your advice, I hebe the Yamaha TRs 700 amp, thnks

Andrew I’m really intrigued with these and also the Jamo S 809, what are your opinions on a comparison?

Hi Andrew, after watching this wonderful video yesterday I have gone and made the purchase.

Great content and product review. Very informative and helpful! :)

Man that looks so well calibrated, infinity war looks so clean

I’m looking at the reference bipole speakers to add to my home theatre. Have you reviewed them? How would they pair with my setup. I have the pioneer ( 73series) atmos speakers with 2 Polk hts12 subs. They’ll be hooked up to the denon x4700h receiver. I’ll be using them for rear surrounds.

Hi Andrew. What are your thoughts on Jensen speakers. I have the eht 707 sub and and eht in wall front speakers. I also run wharfedale bipolars which to me to sound remarkable for surround. The 707 sub in particular to me sounds incredible. Any comment please?

Does anyone make three way speakers anymore.

Are the mid and high drivers in an acoustic suspension?

What does it mean when you say this video is sponsored by Fluance? Did they pay you? Did they give you the speakers?

I never thought I'd be considering Fluance, but these look like a solid option for what I'll be looking for soon.

Downsizing homes soon, and want to shift to a pair of towers (from a 2.2 system of bookshelves and stereo subs). They'll be right on display as soon as you walk in the front door, so aesthetics matter.

I’ve been a polk fan / owner for a long time but always interested in what’s out there etc. Even with your up front disclaimer that the video was sponsored some people still get fired up over credibility of comments etc. In my humble opinion I didn’t hear anything that would question the integrity of this feedback and appreciated the video for what it was. Skeptics can usually go hear a pair somewhere before buying anyway if they are that concerned. I hope to hear some of these in person sometime as your feedback, especially about the performance of the downfiring woofer, has spiked my interest.

If they were two or four times the price, would you call them high end ? Is it just price that makes these not high end or are they lacking something else besides the high price?

Well on your recommendation/commercial I bought a pair of these. My first problem was fit and finish. The front panel of both speakers did not sit flush and there were noticeable gaps between the speaker face and the speaker box. Then there was the loose port tubes in one that fell out while I was unpacking it. Looked like they were never glued in. 

I also didn't care for the sound. I felt the highs were just not there and the midrange lacked detail. The plus side was they had good bass extension. I gave them a chance. Every morning when I went to work I ran them with Christmas music from a local radio station so the wife and daughter working from home. Unfortunately they just never opened up.

Anyway I was hoping to replace my Monitor BX6's. What these did do is make me appreciate the BX6's.

I want a pair now, thank you

question - the black ash variation of these speaker looks like it has a matte front-facing panel. at least in all their photos on amazon or their website. Is that the case? Or both variations have this glossy black finish at the front? I personally would prefer matte finish for my house I think. Thanks!

PS: Also, if you had to choose between these, or the Jamo S809, what would you pick? :)

How do this compare to the Klipsch RP8000F's?

Hi Andrew what's a good budget reciver to connect the Fluance reference 5.1 system to? Not sure what to get something under $500.thank you love the videos.

I am currently usiveng B&W DM6 speakers. although they are 46 years old they actually still sound wonderful. Have you ever heard them?I just bought the Fluance Signature book shelf speakers as I wanted to hear something different. I watched you review of those too and you convinced me to buy them..thank you for your informative reviews.

Hey Andrew, did you have the chance to listen to the fluance signature towers as well? If so do you think they are superior to the xl8f sound wise or more like very similar?

Where do you get your background wallpapers on your tv? I’ve noticed theyre very nice!

I picked up a pair of the XL7s used for just over $200. I have owned MB Quartz, Martin Logan Stats, and even so old school HPM-100s. .....and these XLs have certainly held their own in comparison. Now i don't run my for movies. Only a basic two channel listening system in a room. I did add a sub to the system. NOT because the XLs were lacking, but rather because I like a heavier low end at lower to medium volumes so the sub allowed me to really focus the mid range on the XLs rather than pushing more that that low end I want at lower volumes. A fantastic speaker for us "non audiophile pocketbook" folks.

Looking to upgrade my HT speakers (Axiom) and stumbled upon this promo. Never heard of Fluance. Any thoughts on how they would perform in a 5.1 setup? With the down firing woofer in each, do I even need a sub? Dont listen to much music in my HT. Most movies and sports.

Will you review the signature series at some point?

Thank you Andrew for the review on the Fluance . You were right on that this is a lot of speaker for the price. Based on your review I purchased a pair of XL8FW and very satisfied. I replaced my front klipsch RP600m and moved them to the surrounds. The Flurance now fills the open floor plan of my space very nice. This speaker is an upgrade of its predecessor the XL7 and I am sure as time goes by and the word spreads it will be a hit.

Fluance is so underrated

Thank you for proclaiming that this is a Paid Promotion.

I would love to see you review their Signature Series speakers

Great review of affordable yet good sounding speakers. To help us out getting a complete setup done, would it be possible to have a, say Marantz / Harman / Onkyo AV Receiver comparison next? Which brand gives the most bang for the buck in the $600 bracket, and maybe even which combines best with these speakers?
Thank you so much in advance and keep em coming, champs.
