Great rear speaker for a budget 5.1 or 7.1 system

A speaker set I had and needed to complete the setup. These sound way better than they look. I have a great JBL subwoofer and two amazing Bose 501-iv front speakers. I have a JBL center channel and two M&K side speakers. I need them to fill the rear and I'm delighted with their response and sound. I calibrated the Onkyo with the mic and the sound from the system was stunning. What I didn't expect is how good music sounds with this system. I feel like I'm sitting in a concert hall. Fluanceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Expertly crafted MDF wood cabinet to reduce cabinet resonance with a black ash finish
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Late heyday of the best surround sound systems

Out of the box, these speakers aren't impressive at all. You'll be wondering what all the hype is about and why you bought them. Just a few hours of work will change the world. Yes, they need to be hacked, as the Fluance website explains. It will be time well spent. I gave 4 stars for material quality only because of the mounting option provided by Fluance. Note to Fluance: CHANGE THE MOUNT! I have purchased mounting plates with a single keyhole that lines up with the studs for a more secureโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Bipolar pattern for optimal surround sound
Cons
  • Upgrades

Great sound, well made, rear mount sucks

Got these to replace rear and surround sound in a 7.1 setup with a Sony digital receiver. They were packaged very well and were larger than expected. The Fluance website states that each weighs just under 7 pounds. So building on that, I used 9lb ceiling brackets, but with two 50lb screws in each bracket, into the wooden ceiling joists. I also had to create my own unique L-Bracket to connect the existing bracket to the narrow metal holes on the back of the speakers. I even bought clear gorillaโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Full lifetime parts and labor Direct manufacturer warranty with lifetime customer service
Cons
  • too dumb

Fluance AVBP2 Bipolar Speakers: no-content appearance

The speakers I bought a year ago were the AVBP2 series, which appear to be the previous version of these SXBP2 speakers (both have identical specs). I bought these to use as side surround speakers after reading what a great dual pole surround speaker design would be. However, the sound coming out of them was muddy, and the speakers only occasionally produced a sound that made it feel like you were really surrounded by it. I didn't have anything comparable at the time, so I tried to work withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Premium components deliver great performance, natural sound and seamless timbre to match the Fluance SX series and other high-end systems
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
