I recently wanted to replace my rear surround speakers in my home theatre. I done alot of research and decided on the bipolar style speakers. When I found Fluance I was immediately impressed with the quality and reviews that they were receiving. I ordered a pair and installed them. At first I didn't realize much difference, but once they were in use for a short period of time they opened up...wow...they fill the room with quality sound...They improved my surround sound in my home theatre by about 100%. They work wonderfully with music too! I highly recommend these speakers. They are in a class with much more expensive speakers that I have listened to in show rooms. I am definately going to buy more speaker systems for my house from Fluance!

I bought these after hearing a friend's Fluance AVHTB+ Surround Sound Home Theater 5 Speaker System 5.1 system. I was planning on an upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1. My speakers were all Wharfedale, but Wharfedale no longer makes the bipolar surround I wanted, so I thought I would try these as my side surrounds until I could find something that matched my Wharfedale Vanguard based system better.

I was blown away! These inexpensive little surround satellites timbre matched very closely with my Wharfedales and they sound amazing! The ferro-fluid cooled neodynium tweeters are sharp and precise without being etchy, scratchy, or fatiguing. The mid-range is smooth and solid, full without being bloated.

In my room the base from these rolls off at about 125, so I did have to raise the crossover point on my sub to 120. But everything blended smoothly from there and I am super pleased.

Could you use these without a sub? No. But so what, that's not what they are intended for. If you appreciate the qualities that a good bipolar design brings to the surround positions, then you owe it to yourself to give these a listen. They may or may not match the timbre of your existing speakers as well as they did mine, but for the price they are simply a must listen!

My search is done, and these will remain on my walls for a LONG time.
