Summary: Cannot beat at this price.
Comment: I've had these speakers for 5 years and I guess it's long enough to give them a review. I was looking for a chea... inexpensive set of speakers to go with my (then new) Denon receiver. After days of research I figured that big brands do not sell anything of quality that cheap, but I found an unknown company that people seemed to like, Fluance. So I went to the website and bought these speakers. A few days later they came in nice double boxes.

The mains looked pretty sturdy. They have golden plated connectors on the back and can be doubled-wired (not that I think anyone will bother to do it).

After I hooked them up (and after a break-in period) they started producing very clear sound. Bass is obviously not very deep. But you cannot expect it and Fluance has a matching subwoofer now so it shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately backs and especially center are much smaller and less powerful (minus one star). Sound from the center is not that great especially with music. I wish they put a bigger one in the package but after all it's reasonably Ok with movies so I'm still keeping it. Although, again, Fluance has a matching center speaker for sale (I guess it's part of their marketing strategy).

After four years of using them I'm thinking of buying a "brand name" speakers but I cannot convince myself to spend 10 times more money to get something that is only 10 percent better. People seem to think that Fluance are "white van" speakers and they're obviously not. I'm yet to find something in this price range that sounds even remotely that good. And you can always put a fake logo on them to show them off to your friends...



Editorial Reviews:

A perfectly matched and flawlessly sounding five speaker system that has the best of both worlds. It has top reproduction qualities in the hi-fidelity music as well as the surround sound home theater area. When this system is used in Dolby surround and DTS systems you really get to see, hear, and feel what home cinema is supposed to be. It is possible to use the SX-HTB in combination with active subwoofers for true low frequency effect. The fronts are vertically and horizontally braced to ensure that the acoustic image remains free from cabinet vibrations and driver resonances. By virtue of the bass reflex cabinet the SX-HTB fronts have outstandingly brilliant and dynamic bass performance. Only first-class components such as powerfully dimensioned high-performance magnets and Neodymium tweeters are used in the production of this system. Thanks to its distinct design and trendy natural beech finish, it harmonizes perfectly with modern living areas. This is unmistakably a speaker system made by Fluance.
