Just hooked it up and surprised how ‘punchy’ the sound is. Nice airy soundstage. Good base having not been broken in yet and not turned up. I like the highs and mids with their forward sound. Pairs well with my inexpensive, refurbed Yamaha sub and my low-powered 15 W RMS/ch Onkyo shelf-system stereo. Louder than expected… specs say 89 db sensitivity yet label on back says 92 db, which I believe. Overall, initially very pleased with this well-priced duo.

Buen producto relación calidad precio. Llegó un día antes de lo previsto, bien empaquetado por parte del vendedor.Llegó el color que elegí y sin ningún golpe o detalle, de construcción solida, de buen peso y no se sienten frágil al tacto.En la cuestión de calidad de audio es buen producto sin llegar a ser high-end pero si se diferencia de bocinas de home theatre regulares. Perfectas para un sistema stereo en una habitación pequeña o mediana.

I recived a well package item ,the speakers them selves are of a good finnish easy to set up and look good ,and sound even beter as back surround speakers would recomend to those on a budget

This is and lovely pair of speakers!!!!!!!!For the size the quality and depth of sound is par excellent

I consider myself to be something of a "practical audiophile" in that I'm pretty picky about sound and such but I don't believe in spending truckloads of money to put together a decent sounding system. I prefer stereo sound over the N.1 systems and I don't go in for all this $100 USB cable stuff as some perfectionists do. A good system at a good price is just what I want. For me a good speaker is one that reproduces the full range of sound it is asked to reproduce without inserting itself into the equation... you want to listen to the music, not the speakers.The packaging ...These speakers arrived in a triple box. Amazon took the double box from Fluance and put it into another box, making it just big enough to be really awkward to carry... and these are relatively heavy speakers. Good protection, but not so good when you got to lug them up to the 6th floor.General...These are big speakers and they are rather heavy for their size. They are much bigger than any I've had before with 5 1/4" woofers in them. The cabinets appear to be of reasonable quality. They are 7/16" MDF particle board (that's good, btw) and covered in a wood-look vinyl finish. The overall cabinet assembly is quite nice.Screws ...When I get something that is made in China the first thing I usually do is check all the screws to be sure they are properly tightened. In this case it's a good thing I did as both speakers had loose screws on the woofer and the connector panel at the back. No problem, I just tweaked them a little with my screwdriver to even out the tension. (If you do this on your set, loosen them first then tighten them slowly. Don't get carried away, those screws are in MDF particleboard and they're not all that big, it would be very easy to strip them if you aren't careful.)The Grills ...The front grills are simple wooden frames with cloth stretched over them. When I unpacked my set the grills were dirty with some kind of white powder so I gently rubbed them down with a dry sponge to clean them. Once they're cleaned they look nice. The Fluance logos at the bottom had a bunch of rough edges on the letters --probably from stamping the silver plating onto them-- a couple of gentle passes with a sanding sponge took care of that very nicely. These grills fit over the holding posts on the speaker boxes quite tightly. It would not be a good idea to simply grab them and pull them off. I eased them off and on during testing by pressing or pulling firmly on each corner in turn and letting them find their own speed.Burn in ...I've seen a couple of reviews where these speakers were panned as lacking bass. Right out of the box they certainly do lack any kind of reasonable bass, leading me to initially conclude they were never intended as full range speakers. In fact I've never seen a set of speakers that needed the "burn in" period as badly as these did. About 12 hours on they started sounding better... and two days in they're sounding pretty good.Speaker wire...During the recommended 10 hour burn in period I hooked them up using the bargain basement 24ga speaker wire. Now, having moved them to my main system where they are hooked up with 18ga wire, I can tell you that in this case the wire definitely makes a big difference.... as in "Woah, where'd all that detail come from?"Listening Impression ...These speakers sound pretty good when set on my media credenza.They appear to need some breathing room behind them, delivering the best sound when positioned about 2 to 3" from the wall behind them. Placing them longer distances from walls (as recommended by most audiophiles) will likely result in a loss of bass and result in a somewhat shrill sounding speaker.With the grills off, these speakers are "sibilant" every little hissed S or popped P is clearly audible.. With the grills on that goes away completely.The bass and mid-range are both handled by the same speaker, which after a proper burn in does an acceptable job...If you're looking to get kicked in the gut by the bass, these are not your speakers. But if you are looking for easy listening with well balanced sound, I think you'll like them well enough.Overall, these are very clear and precise speakers.About that base plate...The base plate these speakers stand on is where you would attach them to stands. But otherwise they are a dusting disaster and, yes, for those who are wondering it can be removed. There are 4 screws on the bottom. Undoing them will let you take the base off. Then comes a nice surprise... the 4 silver disks are actually non-slip feet so you may want to flip them over and run the screws back into the boxes, as I did.Rating...I like these speakers. Overall I'll give them 4 stars... To get the 5th star, I would suggest Fluance lose the base plate and put the money into an actual 6" woofer, which I think would be a better match with that tweeter.Update: August 18, 2018 ... Two years in, still happy as can be with these speakers.

Still burning in, sounding better everyday - and they sounded great out the box

If you have been listening to your music collection on cheap (or even fairly expensive) compute grade speakers you haven't truly been hearing it. Once you break these babies in and give them a listen you will understand what I mean.I received my SX6s a few days. Since then I have been breaking them in by playing pink noise through them at a moderate volume for about ten hours. I think they are pretty much broken in now so I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on these bookshelf speakers.DESIGNMany have said that these speakers are huge. I agree with this to a certain point. If you are comparing them with a set of logitech or other computer speakers they would seem rather huge. My last set of speakers was a quite large set of 90's Aiwa, i guess you could call them, bookshelf speakers. The Fluance's are actually smaller than these old speakers so to me they don't seem that big at all. If you're going from an average computer grade speaker system to the SX6s they might seem large in comparison. I actually find there size to be about right for my setup, but I have a rather large computer desk with plenty of room.You can get a basic idea of their design from the pics so I won't bore you with the details. I will try to highlight a few elements you can't tell from the pics.1. The SX6's are made out of a very nice MDF material and have an understated woodgrain pattern. I have the black pair and I really like their appearance.2. Many have complained about their base pedestal. I really don't mind it. I guess you could remove it if you'd like and then they would be sitting on their grommets. I have mine on Adam Hall isolation pads and they look very nice.3. The speaker covers look a little cheap. They are made from a slightly thin fabric and may tear with some abuse. They are pretty typical for speakers in this class though.4. The main design element I don't like with these speakers is their sharp edges. I would have rather they routed the corners instead of leaving them untouched. They seem as though they will scratch and nick very easily.SOUNDThis is where the SX6s really excel. They present a very natural, open sound stage. When compared to most speakers I've heard in this class they are much clearer and more natural. I have a pair of the Dayton B652s (non air) and the SX6s kick the woofers out of those. Both sets have decent bass and highs but the Fluance's sound so much more accurate and open than the Daytons.When you first connect the SX6s to your amp and listen to them the music sounds a little flat. There is not much bass or midbass at the begging. Once you break these babies in for about ten hours (as per the manufacture's recommendation) they really come alive. Lower frequencies are filled in nicely and highs really come alive. I've been able to get them to hit down around 50hz so far. If you need lower bass consider adding a sub.When I play "The Walking Blues" by Royal Crown Revue I am able to hear a full and rich soundstage presented by the orchestra and lead vocals. The tenner sax sounds like it is coming from just off of right center and the vocals sound as though they are coming from the middle. I was never able to hear these nuances with my Aiwa or Dayton speakers, lat alone ANY set of Logitechs!The SX6s have one of the best tweeters I've ever heard. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this is the best I've heard to date. Highs are clean and crisp while not sounding shrill. Symbals and tenner instruments sounds beautiful and really aid in the natural soundstage.One downside, if you want to call it that, to these speakers is that you can immediately hear the weaknesses in compressed music. Mp3s just don't present the same level clarity and soundstage as lossless audio formats. This truly and issue with compressed music and not these speakers. With lesser speakers it is harder to hear the difference between compressed and uncompressed audio.These speakers are, however, not perfect. One area they seem to struggle is with midbass. Frequences between 120 and 200hz seem a bit muted. I am hoping these come alive after more break in.SUMMERYSo to summerize I'd just like to say again how much I really like the Fluance SX6s. They certainly are not perfect and I'm sure you can find better speakers out there, but not at this price. I purchased a reconditioned pair from Fluance for $100 and they are well worth that price if not twice.UPDATE - 10-21-15I am still really liking these speakers. Currently. I am powering them with an SMSL SA50 amp and using a Behhringer UCA202 DAC. This is a great system and produces excellent sound for the cost (around $200 total depending on the current price of the amp and speakers). I stilly highly recommend these speakers! I've had no issues with them to date.

I am building up an economical 2-channel stereo system with the main components being CD player, amplifier and loudspeakers. My challenging idea is to optimize the audio performance with a total budget of less than 500 usd. With the purchase of Fluance SX6 loudspeakers from Amazon, I believe I am approaching my goal, and even saving some money.In order to keep my planned budget in control, my other equipment consists of second-hand vintage elements obtained from eBay, with sufficiently low distortion and decent output power for enjoying just basic hi-fi. My integrated amplifier is Fisher CA-880, and the CD player is JVC XL-V311. I have connected the Fluance speakers via 16-gauge wires. My listening room size is around 14x14 feet, with attenuating material on the walls and floor.I have "warmed up" the loudspeakers for about one week, and this is the result of the evaluation of some of my favorite music today:1) Antonio Vivaldi. Conciertos. "Concierto en re mayor para guitarra y orquestra de cuerda". Josef Podhoransky, orquesta de cámara eslovaca. Allegro and Largo. It is a pleasure to listen to the natural sound of flutes and guitar. There is a spacious feeling, with natural sound and accurate position of the acoustic instruments. The sound of violins is equally natural and accurate, although there might be some, slightly harder mid-range sounds noted.2) Jean Sibelius. Finlandia records 2003. "Valse triste". The speakers handle the wide dynamics of the violins beautifully in this piece, delivering clear and natural sound over the whole frequency range except in the lowest band.3) Mark Knopfler: Local Hero. "Wild Theme". The guitar and piano are in a good balance. Both sound natural, and the image is enjoyable. Pleasant, warm and accurate delivery of the music.4) Diana Krall: The Look of Love. "S'Wonderful". The voice of Diana is natural and accurate. The instruments of the orchestra are in balance in mid and high band, although the lowest bass is relatively weak. Violins and piano sound natural, and the speakers create a spacious feeling. There is occasional hardiness in some of the mid/high-band sounds which might partially be a result of still non-optimal preparation of the listening room.5) Tomatito: Anthology. "Spain". Excellent balance of instruments. The overall sound is simply enjoyable in order to admire the fusion of jazz and flamenco. The natural sound of the piano fits nicely to the acoustic guitar of Tomatito, and also the higher bass is present. As previously, though, the lower bass area is weak.6) Gotan Project: La Revancha del Tango. "Triptico". This music is a combination of acoustic and electrical instruments, and the bass is essential in this very piece. The accordion sounds natural although it might be slightly hard which could be an indication of some small variations in mid-high band frequency response and/or potential echoing in the listening room. The speakers deliver an accurate image, and the sound of the acoustic instruments including piano is in general pleasant. As for the electrical instruments, there is clearly higher frequency bass present, although this area is perhaps not as exact as it is in the mid and high bands. The lower bass area is quite attenuated which means that especially in this type of music, a separate sub-woofer would already be beneficial in order to fully explore the contents.7) The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out. "Take Five". This hit is quite enjoyable to listen to via SX6 speakers. They create a spacious scene for delivering this masterpiece in such a way that you can virtually imagine the location of Paul, Dave, Eugene and Joe in front of you. The sound of sax is warm, the piano is natural, and the drums sound great. The bass is attenuated, though, but the overall performance is in balance, including the drum solo. Although I have heard this piece several times, I managed to find new nuances in the background.Overall, I am positively surprised with my new Fluance SX6 speakers. I would not have believed to find so clear and balanced sound in this price range. Also the solid, good looking wooden construction with high-quality elements is worth mentioning. Technically, this type of frequency response could be expected in much more expensive equipment, although the lower bass is attenuated. There is sufficiently higher bass for many types of music, though, so the performance is excellent taken into account the size and the price of the speakers. For me, these speakers work as such especially for listening to acoustic music. For the listening to also lower bass, I would plan to purchase a separate sub-woofer. The performance of Fluance SX6 is in any case so good that I am sure I am happy with this setup for much longer time than I was originally planning, simply for enjoying good, old 2-way hi-fi audio without spending too much money.
