I bought a 5.q set of these as "place holders" at my house for Elacs or KEFs down the line. That was 4 years ago and since then I bought a second 5.1 set of Flaunce Elites for a second room and am toying with buying a third set for a third room.

They do a great job filling a fairy large room with crisp clear sound. Over four years they have been put to the test with some loud events and they have stood the test of time. I bought the white elites and the white is a stark white pop in the room (I never imagined I'd like white speakers. If you have a fairly bright white trim in your house these will go well).

The first set I got was handled poorly during the shipping process but the company was very responsive and replaced the damaged speakers quickly. They can take the rough and tumble abuse of children, which I am amazed at considering the price point. I have had my child slam into them, once im particular with a set of drums that sliced up one of the speaker, and although I am...

Lim @ 3rd Mile PD: Good value for the money, nice sound, mid range a little muted. Recommended.

The black lacquered front has some ripples in finish.

FiveStarFail: I bought these speakers to use for home entertainment. The first thing I noticed when I first used them was they sounded amazing for the price. For a small living room, you don't even need a sub.

I ended up using these paired with a sub for my wedding I could not be happier with the experience. We all had a blast.

To sum this up they are great for movies but I think where these speakers shine is with music. Every time I listen to music with them I am happy that I bought them. Yes, there probably is better out there but everything better costs 4-5 times more than these.

Larry: I would say that I’m not a novice when it comes to good sounding speakers, but I’m not an audiophile either. I’ve always upgraded my car stereos and have had a couple ‘complete surround systems in-a-box’; with this 5-speaker set from the Fluance Elite line being my first standalone speakers purchase. I have it paired with a 7.2 channel receiver I also recently bought.
All that said, I can best summarize my thoughts on the sound these speakers provide versus those aforementioned prior setups by saying just one word … A-W-E-S-O-M-E 😁!
While these are Fluant’s entry-level variety, they’re a giant leap over any ‘all-in-one surround system’ you could buy off the shelf anywhere. The sound is full with crisp highs, clear dialogue in movies/vocals in music, a strong and enveloping mid-range that does a good job fulfilling the largest part of the audible spectrum, and can even hit some of the lower-end of that spectrum. As other reviewers have said - I would agree that a subwoofer is almost a necessity to complete the system; but, it will depend on your listening preferences and how much low-end you like. I complemented them with the Jamo C912 12” subwoofer...

Tony Wartooth: Amazing speakers. Going to want to do yourself a favor and buy one of there subs and make sure it plugs in to your reciever. I'm using an 20 year old reciever and it doesn't have a spot for modern sub woofer plugs in the back so I skipped that because my old sub won't work anymore and I didn't want to spend money on a new receiver right now. But the quality of these speakers are amazing and worth every penny and this company is Canadian and the everything they make is quality that's the only reason I suggest buying one of their subs If you need one . Speakers lacking in low end thus the need for a sub but I don't think that warrents less than 5 stars because the speakers are come at a wicked price point and the quality and sound is on point. Very satisfied as music needs to sound perfect to me and my ears or it bugs me. Great for audiophiles. I wonder now how much better is the more expensive set if these speakers are that good?!??

DryvBy: My current rig as of 1/2011:
-Fluance SXHTB+
-JBL ES250PBK 400-Watt High-Powered 12-Inch Subwoofer
-Harman Kardon AVR 2600 Receiver
-PlayStation 3 using 1.4a HDMI cables from Amazon on Linear PCM settings(not MonsterRipOffs)

I went from Infinity TSS-750 series satellite speakers to these Fluance speakers, and I have to say, they're simply amazing. I can't really compare to any other bookshelf speakers, only satellite speakers. However, I have heard speakers like these in the store and frankly, I couldn't tell you the difference between these and Polk audio.

As for shipping, Fluance is a smaller company and you can only buy the speakers from them, so I was expecting a long wait time. Shipping from Canada (I assume, since they're based there), my speakers were there by the end of the week after ordering on a Monday. I considered that to be speedy delivery. Before ordering though, I did have to wait for several months because they were out of stock, but I wasn't ready to buy then anyway.

What's included are two bookshelf speakers, a center, and two rear/sides (whichever you prefer). On Fluance's website, you can order two more speakers for complete...
