Fluance Ai41 Powered 2-Way 2.0 Stereo Bookshelf Speakers with 5" Drivers, 90W Amplifier for Turntable, TV, PC and Bluetooth 5 Wireless Music Streaming with RCA, Optical & Subwoofer Out (White Walnut)

These are pretty great. I am able to use them with bluetooth with my laptop or phone, use them as additional surround sound from my tv using optical and you can add a sub which i haven't yet. Honestly, they have a pretty full sound as is. My one complaint is i think they could go louder especially if the bass is turned down but they have a clear cut off. Some sources they seem lackluster while others quite loud but still clear and full so the sound is always great. Turning down the bass doesn't allow them to push any harder though s you get what you get. I have tried them with a DAC I have laying around to pump the bass on them and they become very alive for cinematic use with this low end rumble. It's not so much a sub sound, but a very solid lower mid range that does shake the walls a bit. They don't get as loud, but this is likely due to the source being RCA in this case vs the optical. This sound is NOT attainable without an additional EQ source and its something I use as an extension to my tv's sound and not the main source, but it is impressive. Honestly, these are great quality, look great, are well built speakers with awesome sound. They are just limited a bit by the built in DSP and amp, maybe the bigger ones fair better. I will prolly get the ai61 as I want to see the diff and i'm very happy with these. I have no regrets (this is rare with sound equipment) and they literally connect to almost everything. No speaker is perfect, but pound for pound these have impressed me for the size and I would buy them again without question.

I was skeptical about these speakers.They were a lot smaller than I was used to but after connecting to my Marantz pre-amp,I played some music and some live T.V. and they were impressive.The plan was to get a subwoofer (Fluence DB10L),but I think I could have done without it. It was only a 10 minute hook up and I gave them a bit more of a test run and after balancing the volume between speakers and sub I played some music at a pretty decent level and the highs and mids were nice and crisp and as the volume increased the thumping in my chest grew more intense.These Fluence speakers are super easy to use and hook up is very straightforward. The price is good,they look great,they punch above their weight, I would highly recommend these to anyone wanting great audio in a small package.

I have had these speakers for about 3 months. I have played old vinyl records (using a Nuance phono), CD's and blue tooth music. The CD's ranged form a modern CD recording of Yo-Yo Ma Bach cello suites and a 20 year old CD with Maria Calls opera arias to Blue Tooth (Sitting on the Dock" to vinyl recording of 60's Favorite Songs. Verdict: Superb. I have never enjoyed my music so much; I can actually understand the words of the songs and orchestral hear instruments with great clarity.These speakers have an additional advantage in that the controls for mode change and on/off are on the front of the source speaker and are visibly color differentiated. For me this is a big plus. The remote also has a treble/bass equalizer; this is very useful given the variations in bass/treble in modern recordings. I doubt whether a woofer (which can be added) would give the listener much extra benefit, unless you want to hear the lowest bass note, which are in most cases likely inaudible to the human ear unless one is sitting on top of the cellist! Of course, the recordings and reproductions these days are so good that it is most unlikely that the listener could replicate the experience in a real concert music unless she/he were on the conducter's podiumIt is also worth bearing in mind that occasionally if the sound reproduction does not meet your expectation this is quite likely due to a less than perfect original disc, rather any shortcoming in the speakers.Recommendation: a great buy well worth the money

These are good speakers . They are not perfect , but -- they are far better than other "E" type or even "K" type of speakers commonly seen in reviews and here at Amazon.Build quality is excellent , size is perfect , so why not 5 stars ???The truth is NO speaker in this price range should ever get 5 stars . It is acoustically impossible to get full range sound from a 5" driver and a 1" tweeter .However , these are amazing at making you think they can !! So what am I saying ???? Simple --the Fluance Ai41 is , for the money , one little power house of a speaker {`s } .They image very well and are as close to full range upper mid band and upper band frequency response that you can get for their size .Also having the ability to trim the bass or treble is also very handy , although once the speakers have been 'run-in' and your ears become accustomed to their sound , you will find a flat response is more than adequate .I nice feature is the high quality remote , very nice . Also nice to have both digital and analog inputs .Bluetooth is there if you need it and works rather well considering the limitations of bluetooth .The volume range is 0 _ to _ 30 blinks on the right LED indicator .Personally I have found with a high quality sound source anywhere between 15 and 20 blinks is plenty loud enough .Good speakers for the money !!This should be considered a " Dreamer _ Must Buy "

These speakers are fantastic, especially considering the price. I LOVE them. Such balanced sound. Solid and good-looking!
