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 (Black Ash)

Short version:Expectations must be managed. These speakers are by no means "professional grade" however you're paying about a third of what would be deemed a professional price. And for that price you're gaining a very clean sound. A tasteful and neat design, and a level of convenience that other bookshelf speakers can be lacking in. If you're in the market for some bookshelf speakers and your budget is under £300, these are a safe, solid choice.Longer version:So! I've made a point to hold off from reviewing these until the speakers have had some time to settle in. These speakers are not as well published as similar offerings from Kanto and Audioengine, I had been researching speakers for my desk for quite some time and one day I just happened to stumble across these. Upon further research, Fluance is a Canadian brand established in 1999, famed for their Vinyl turn tables.The Sound: Very clean, High notes have a brightness to them without being at all harsh on the ears, these speakers are very easy to listen to. Vocals and midrange tones are clear and again, very clean, perhaps with a slight warmth? Though that could equally be summed up to your equaliser. Bass has a good roll off and id responsive, however of course, with many mid size to smaller bookshelf speakers, its not as punchy as it could be, If these are going to be your "forever Speakers" then i'd suggest supplementing with a subwoofer if/when convenient. I certainly plan on it. Yet its not a must have.Design: Its too much to ask for a real wood finish at this price, however the veneer finish is a nice matte wood grain effect. No visible glue marks or seams, Overall these are probably the prettiest speakers in their class. They do lack any kind of speaker grill mounting options, so be careful if you've got small children that might poke the tweeters inside out.Creature comforts: Easily the dumbest yet best feature of these speakers is you have the ability to turn off the darn status LED! So many speakers ruin their clean looks by having some obnoxious green or blue light to tell you its turned on! The Fluance speakers allow you to turn off this status light, allowing them to maintain a subtle and classical appearance. Beyond that they come with a simple remote with all the main functions one could need, plenty of speaker wire so you can really space them apart if you want to.Cons?: Of course the lack of really punchy bass is to be expected, there's little way to avoid that without tampering with the clean and crisp sound these speakers produce. A subwoofer is definitely a purchase on the horizon. Would have been nice to have a USB input as well. Some computers can have a bit of hiss if you're connecting via 3.5mm jack.

I've been using it for a month and very satisfied with the sound quality. In a small room they sound clear and detailed, thanks to big drivers.No concerns regarding the build quality. Nicely complements the decor. Remote control is simple.

Been contemplating buying new speakers for my pc. I had Edifiers which have been great little speakers for the last 5 years. It was a toss up between the Fluance or Q Acoustics. The Q's were a tad too big. And the Fluance Ai41 had great reviews. Letting them run in for at least 10 - 20 hours for the bass to settle down. Can't fault them at the moment. They look and sound great so far.

Well made, easy to set up, and - most importantly - delivery a very balanced and accurate sound. Unlike some other speakers of this size its performance in the lower frequencies is surprisingly punchy. I’m amazed that cabinets of this quality are available at this price point - but very grateful. Fluance is establishing quite a reputation and fan base. We may well have a classic in the making.

For £250, these are stunning speakers.Paired with my Fluance turntable, vinal as never sounded better in our house.Takes about10hrs to break in, and get better by the day.Awesome.

Got these from amazon wearhouse listed as very good can't tell them from unused everything perfect.Have these paired with my fluance turntable loving the sound.

IF YOU AFFORD TO SPEND THAT MONEY. GET IT!. BEAUTIFUL SOUNDED, LOOKING AND MADE SPEAKERS THIS CLASS.
