## Description

desertcart.com: Fluance Reference High Performance 2-Way Bookshelf and Surround Sound Speakers for 2-Channel Stereo Listening or Home Theater System - Black Ash/Pair (XL8S) : Electronics

Review: Fluance Comes Through Again !!! Great Speakers. - This is my second Fluance purchase. I bought the bipole speakers for rear use in my home theatre setup. Awesome speakers. Bought the these two-ways for stereo listening. I’ve broken them in for about 12 hours with classical music (Esteban Salas), the Grateful Dead, Evanescence, Heart, and some Blues by Albert King. As each hour’s gone by they’ve opened up nicely. The clarity is good, but some might think they’re a little warm. But, then again, I use a tube preamp and enjoy that vibe when listening to music. The size of these speakers is great for a small to midsized room. I’ve done some acoustic treatments in my listening retreat. These speakers aren’t hard to drive in terms of power. They do sound better as you give them a little juice. Lastly. as to value for the money, I don’t think they can be beat as to sound quality for the price, build quality, and appearance. I’ve used Klipsch, Sony, Yamaha, and Definitive Technology speakers over the years. I’ll stick with Definitive Technology for my home theatre. As for 2 channel or quadraphonic listening, Fluance is absolutely the place to be for me. I sold my Klipsch setup after falling in love with Fluance. If you like a brighter or sharper audio profile, I can understand why you’d stick with Klipsch. There’s a huge difference in tweeter response between the two brands. Only slight negative is that the bass response is at 50hz on these speakers. I think a sub is necessary to enjoying a full frequency response on the soundstage end. I’m using one of my Definitive Technology subs and it’s all blending well. The soundstage is enveloping now. I highly recommend these speakers.
Review: Unbeatable Value - You Won't Be Disappointed. - A very heavy and well built speaker - first the knock test, which felt like a brick. Bracing in this speaker was unexpected at this cost. I got walnut - the finish was literally flawless. Not as much bass as one would want, but these are surrounds, and the clarity and detail are fantastic. Best small bookshelf speaker in this price range I've tested to date.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i pair these with the fluance rt81 turntable or will i need additional pieces?**
A: You'll need to buy a stereo to serve as an amplifier. Sony has a great one for around $100.

**Q: Is there a way to connect these speakers to **both** a turntable AND a soundbar?**
A: No, these are a passive speaker and would have to be connected to an amplifier of some sort.

**Q: Are any cables included in the box with these speakers? If not, what cables are recommended? I will be using these for my turntable.**
A: No cables are not included, you can order speaker wire on line the gauge is recommended by Fluance

**Q: How do speakers attach to these stands?**
A: Thanks for your question David!

The speakers stands we offer do not attach to the speakers, they would sit on the platform with a cut out for the wire to run through that platform, through the pole, and to your amplifier/receiver.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fluance always delivers.
*by G***T on July 19, 2025*

I purchased these to replace a Klipsch surround system. I had the XL8F floor standing speakers in my music room. Those were replaced with Cabasse speakers and then the Fluance went into the living room for the surround. These proved to be much better than the Klipsch reference speakers they replaced. Way more clarity for a true surround sound experience. The XL8F can be powered separately for the woofers and midrange/tweeters and that's exactly what I did. Sub out from the Onkyo AVR into a small amp and then to the woofer speaker posts and I had dual subs with my surround. The XL8 bookshelf speakers went to the rear for the surround setup. I also have the Fluance Reference center speaker. Note on the XL8F from Fluance. They're fantastic for music in stereo. It was a tough call to replace them with the Cabasse, but in the end I have excellent music setup in the music room and the surround from the Fluance greatly outperforms the Klipsch they replaced. I also have a Fluance Rt82 turntable in the front room if I want to play an album out there. Fluance is hard to beat for price to performance.
