Fluance AVBP2 Home Theater Bipolar Surround Sound Satellite Speakers

Little expensive when u import from US. However, the sound is amazing.using it as a surround speaker. It simply compliments my HT with its sound and design.

Product is too good, no doubts or any second thoughts about same. IT is just that don't buy if from Seller ' Fast Media' as they are charging almost 3K extra as compared to other sellers and even the delivery of product is too delayed.

I had a tight budget for a home theatre installation and thought I'd give these speakers a try and was glad I did. For under $200 I didn't have high expectations going in but I must say these speakers exceeded my expectations considering their price and did a great sound for surround sound on a 5.1 theatre setup. First off surround sound speakers are used infrequently and therefore are not as important as the Center Channel Speaker or Left and Right front speaker. A good quality subwoofer is also much more important than surround sound speakers. If you have a tight budget like I did, put 75-90% of your speaker budget into the front speakers and sub and only 10-20% of the budget into the surround sound speakers. My surround sound system consists of some Monitor Audio Speakers for the LCR, an NHT Subwoofer and yes the two Fluance SXBP2 speakers for surround. My Receiver is a Marantz AVR with Audyssey Speaker Equalization and that my friends is one of the secrets to getting good sound from your theatre system. Proper speaker calibration will equalize the speakers in the room and often compensate for various acoustical differences. Speaker calibration can sometimes make average or mediocre speakers sound great, especially when used in non-critical applications like surround sound. Fluance Speakers are Made in Canada .. I was surprised to learn this and didn't know prior to purchasing. Build quality is good considering the price. The speaker cabinets are built out of particle board and covered in a black, wood grain semi flat vinyl laminate. Each speaker has a two screw hanging bracket on the back and the speakers have binding post connectors. I did find the speakers to be rather frustrating to mount. First off there is no template in the box so I had to make one up. Seconding the mounting bracket requires two screws and is wider than a single stud so you will need at least one drywall anchor to mount the speaker. Next you have to be very careful to get your mounting screws level otherwise your speaker will look crooked on the wall. Lastly the binding posts are not recessed enough to allow for the use of banana plugs when wall mounting. SOUND: The first word I would use to describe the sound of these speakers is Bright. There is not much base from the 4" woofers but that's ok since most surround sound is effects and not full range. The bipolar driver arrangement provides a wide sound field and good dispersion making them excellent speakers for surround sound. Overall I'm highly impressed with these Fluance Surround Sound Speakers for the price. If you are on a tight budget have an AVR receiver with a good speaker calibration program these Flunance speakers will sound great and definitely do the job. I would recommend these speakers for home theatre surround sound on a budget and would use them again.

Good all round product and have integrated well in my surround system

Hello shoppers, if you’re reading this, then — like me — you probably care about how your movies, music and media sounds! I’ve taken a great deal of care with my home “theater” audio setup but I am not a millionaire who can simply throw money around and buy the most expensive things. For reference I’m running a 5.1 surround system with an aging, but Japanese-built Onkyo high current receiver rated at 75 watts per channel and my front and center speakers are all Polk audio. So; on to the product review. The way my living room is set up puts my couch right up against a wall so I have absolutely no space behind my main seating area for rear surround speakers and when I saw these, I was intrigued. I mounted them at ear-level, so just slightly higher than the back of the couch, and — holy moly — they are amazing rear surround speakers!! Clear highs and great midrange adds that whole experience of true Dolby 5.1 or DTS. The first thing I watched was a few episodes of Game of Thrones and from the ambient sounds “behind” (dogs barking, wind, people chatting) to a dragon flying overhead, to swords clanging and waves breaking on shore, these little guys just immerse you into whatever you’re watching! I also had some good EDM on to see how they did with music and I was very impressed! Ben Böhmer never sounded so good at home! So if you’re still reading this, and you need a good wall-mounted rear speaker option for a really great price, these might be your best option! Especially if you have limited space or, like me, NO space behind your seating area. They look really good too! I got the black ones :) Cheers!

the speakers arrived well packaged .after unwrapping they looked well made and finnished with wall hangings, set them up as surround speakers sound realy good would recommend to those on a budget

Just received mine yesterday (I ordered mine from Amazon.com) I immediately hooked them up to My Yamaha RX-V473 5.1ch AVR and put in Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls Blu-Ray Disc. Definitely worth their asking price for the level of sound reproduction these things put out!!! My Poor-Man's Home Theatre setup consists of the following - POLK AUDIO 75T (Front Speakers), POLK AUDIO CSX250c (Center Channel Speaker), KLIPSCH R-12SW (Powered Subwoofer) and now the FLUANCES for the Surround Speakers. I'll be playing music from my NEXUS 6P and watching more Blu-Rays anytime/everytime I get a chance to so that these speakers can start to "open" up. After 3+years for my other speakers they sound alot better than when they did when they were brand new. So far though I'm pleased with these Fluances, they look good and have good weight to them for there size. UPDATE: 5/29/2018 I've Had These Surrounds For Close To a Year Now, And They Are Fantastic!!! They Sound Better Today Than When I Bought Them (Most New Speakers Do). Watched Black Panther on Blu-Ray Disc via Yamaha AVR and Dolby Digital Plus, They Sound Marvelous Along With My POLK AUDIO Center Channel and Floorstanding Front Speakers. These Are No Doubt Probably The Best Speakers per $$$ Spent Anyone Could Buy, Period!!! UPDATE: 2/5/2019 These speakers continue to perform and impress. I've listened to My playlist from Google Play Music on My Huawei Honor 6X via Aux cord to My Yamaha AVR and watched PENNY DREADFUL Seasons 1&2 on Blu-Ray and the sound effects really shine on these Fluances.
