ATTENTION: YOU MUST BUY A CHROMECAST AUDIO FOR THIS!
by amadorl608 (5 out of 5 stars)

I repeat, when using a Chromecast Audio to play your music wirelessly instead of using Bluetooth, the sound will be much fuller and louder like night and day! Do not forget, it's very important to make sure to go into your Chromecast Audio settings and enable the option for high dynamic range; the sound is suddenly nowhere near as compressed as it was before. There's far more separation between the instruments and vocals more pronounced and with good quality source material, from Google Play Music, Spotify, Tidal and above, the sound reproduction can be seriously impressive. I'm blown away by this product, I just sat in a seat listening to music for 4 hours straight!

Don't write a review until you have used it 10+ hours. Major difference in sound level & quality.
by Mike B. (5 out of 5 stars)

I purchased this primarily to replace a Bose Wave Radio/CD that I have been using as a sound bar for my TV.

I would first like to comment on the UPS delivery. When the truck stopped in front of my house, I watched the delivery guy remove it from the back; it was upside down! In all fairness to UPS, the box has no "This End Up" arrows. Is was concerned that the speaker would be damaged. However, when I opened the box, I noticed the packing material was about the same on top and bottom.

Now for my first impression: I was initially disappointed by the volume level. I had read a few negative reviews saying the sound level was way less than they expected. I was feeling the same way. I played my two favorite bass & sound level YouTube videos: Britney Spears - Big Fat Bass and Katy Perry - Dark Horse. Even at the maximum 40 sound level, the volume was not much more than the dual 3" Bose Wave Radio sound system.

Now I was hoping the sound would improve some after 10 hours of break in, but given the out-of-box sound level, I was not expecting much.

Well, like I do every day, I left the TV on at a low level for my pets. I figured the low-volume on time would not contribute to the break in period. However, when I came home from work (10+ hours later) and started the real break-in, I was shocked by how suddenly the sound level had jumped. I could barely stand the pain from the heavy bass from those two videos at volume level 30. I didn't even bother to go any higher, as I was afraid something would vibrate off the walls or book shelf and crash to the floor; not to mention what effect it would have on the pets. In comparison to the Bose Wave Radio, the bass of the Fi70 was over the top (even at the 0 setting). And finally I could hear the high frequencies that the Bose radio lacked.

I'm beginning to believe one of the reviewers who thinks the speaker system has a built in ten-hour timer. It seems like the volume and bass are scaled back until the 10 hour timer has expired.

So with ~ 30 minutes of real break in sound levels and 10 hours of just being on, I can say that these speakers exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if someday the speaker grill pops off while playing Britney's Big Fat Bass; lol.

So my advice is hold off on your judgement and writing reviews until after ten hours of use. You won't be disappointed.

Not worth the headache, but its impressive
by Dakota (3 out of 5 stars)

Here's my story with this thing:

Fluance was brave and tried something most haven't, push the envelope and be the biggest bluetooth speaker ever. When I first got the speaker, I struggled getting it out of the box, plus its slippery covered in plastic, i almost hurt my back lifting this thing. Its very large and heavy, too large to ever have the desire to move it again after placement. As soon as i got it out, i found multiple cracks in the wood finish (i got the white version), as much as that was disappointing to see i almost didn't care since i was more excited to see how loud it could get. Then I turned it on, connected easily, and turned it up about 75%. Seemed loud, went up some more, was loud but it didnt really sounnd like I expected. Then i realized half the speakers were defective, i was only getting sound out of 3 of the 6. To be fair, only those 3 were really loud, so i imagine a normal working unit would really BANG..... so i had to send it back for a refund, lift the heavy speaker back into the box and ..... well its just such a headache and bad experience....

So in conclusion, is it loud YES, but its just not practical at all. At this weight and size, you really are better off either getting a full home stereo system, or a bluetooth speakers easier to lift, move, and settle into place in your home. The fluance is so big its hard to find a proper place for it.

So save yourself the headache, and pick one of the other top 3 speakers on your list instead. take care.

Powerful, articulate sound. Hip/Modern aesthetics. Some quirks w/ usability.
by Hi-Fi Luggage (4 out of 5 stars)
May 13, 2017

Update 1-8-2019: Still working great! One issue I commented on in the first review has been solved. My dog chewed the first remote and Fluance kindly sent out one for free and the issue with range has disappeared. Not sure if it was a faulty remote the first time or they updated the transmitter in the new remotes so they wider reach, either way, the remote does not have any issues from all kinds of angles. Works more like an RF remote.

Original review:

I have the unit setup in the lower level of a decently large town house with bamboo floors. Just about all speaker setups I've setup struggle with the acoustics. Even the warmest sounding speaker/amplifier combos sound more on the side of bright and "echoy"...even with large area rugs. The Fluance Fi70 is no different, but I've come to appreciate it. It's really a beautiful looking piece of furniture. With the grill on, most people ask, "what is that?" I custom made a laptop stand to raise up the laptop over the touch buttons.

Even though this is a large unit (giggity) it doesn't really have the same spatial intrusiveness as a pair of large floor speakers, but still puts out an identical amount of output. It's confusing actually how Fluance sound engineers have managed to create such a large sound stage, and bass output, with such a compact (BUT HEAVY) system. Other reviewers who say ,"this unit lacks base" <-- notice they misspelled 'bass', must have it setup incorrectly, have a faulty unit, or have a terrible source connected to the unit. I run (2) 12" subwoofers in my daily driver so I am accustomed to heavy bass. Point being, the output, even when the bass is set at "0" (goes up to "8" I think) is too much. I often leave the bass at -2. The mid-range frequencies are going to take some time to get used to, some burn in period not only with the drivers, but with our ears learning to recognize and properly process the sound "the burn in period". Once some decent listening time is invested, the unit becomes alive. Mids articulate, highs are clean with plenty of sparkle. Minimal listener fatigue once broken in.

Usability:

Quirks: An effort needs to made to have the remote work within the appropriate range. As others have mentioned, the touch button features on top of the unit are not great. It takes learning and finesse to master the top buttons, but I still find myself disappointed with the lack of intuitiveness, HOWEVER, this unit is only $500, so it will not be perfect. Most guest estimate the unit is above $1,000.

Great sound, and practical.
by Deon Potgieter (4 out of 5 stars)

The design of the system is not only unique, it is practical too. Yes it is rather large, but think for a moment about how much floor space would be taken up by a comparable system based on a different architectural platform. The Fi70 delivers an extremely full and well rounded sound and the clarity after having had run it now for ten hours is simply amazing. I used Ferry's "I put a spell on you" as a reference song for the break-in period, and it was sad, to say the least, first time round. After a couple of hours it came alive however and I am truly impressed. The Mission speakers I run through the rest of the house take up more space and does not come close to filling a given room with this much balanced sound. Connectivity had been a breeze, and the setup was simple enough to get done within a few minutes. The cabinet and the workmanship on the cabinet is not so good. There are several places where I can see through the seams, and others where the MDF protrudes past the face of the speaker. Given the $500 price tag, I would have expected better. The drivers themselves are clearly high quality though, and you'll be hard pressed to notice any defects. I am happy with my purchase from Fluance, and would recommend this speaker to my friends.

A No Frills Stereo Beast - Get Chromecast Audio
by Dusty Fohs (5 out of 5 stars)

If you want a full on stereo system instead of just Bluetooth speakers, but you don't want to buy the components, this is what you want. I was considering getting two Bluetooth speakers for my living room but I miss having big ol' speakers that you can watch fill the room with sound. I want something to rock out or dance in front of. :)

This delivers what I want. I haven't even turned it up to full volume because I'm afraid I'll disturb the neighbors and I live in a house. It gets loud. It will vibrate my hardwood floors and still sound crystal clear. Love it and it's easy to use.

I would highly, highly recommend getting Chromecast Audio for this system. It works fine off Bluetooth, but Chromecast let's it stream from WiFi. This difference between the two is very substantial. You just plug it in the back and set it up once. Then you can use it with any streaming service or device and it blows doors.

I had to give it a 1 on portability because it weighs 82 pounds. You won't be moving it from room to room. You can hear it from another room, but you won't be moving it. :)

Amazing, but not perfect.
by Bryce Reed (5 out of 5 stars)

I've had this buster for about a week and I love it. Blutooth, AUX and Optical channels are all clean and sound great. It won't give you the experience that a surround sound system will, but if you're looking to bring all your audio into a great box or just need a definite party starter with blutooth standard, this is the guy. It's loud and crystal clear but not quite PERFECT. I gave it 5 stars because, while I do love it, it has some bits that could be improved. I have listed them below.
1.) Why does this have AM/FM radio support? Who asked for this? I know it's probably a cheap featureset to add, but I will never EVER use this. all it does is take up space when cycling through inputs.
2.) I wish it had a dedicated RCA input. I have my Turntable running into it through an RCA to TRS (AUX) adapter, and it sounds fine, but an RCA input would have been far more useful than an AM/FM tuner.
3.) There's a strange quirk with compatibility that probably comes down to preamps. When connected to my TV through optical, if I try and use a stream app to play something with a 5.1 audio mix, this box will refuse to play any sound. It's somewhat understandable, as this is not a 5.1 speaker, but lots of systems would simply convert the signal on the sly and be done with it. on NETFLIX, this is fine, as all content has stereo as an option or standard. Amazon instant is the only app i've found that forces 5.1 in app where available. You can circumvent this by using a system with locked output (PS4, PC), but it's still kind of a pain worth noting.

All that said, I love this thing. it thumps, but with great clarity - all while looking and sounding FAR more expensive than it is. totally worth the buy.

Big, unique, sounds great.
by James M. Lenthall (5 out of 5 stars)

This fits unique niche. It's not a smart product, it can't directly stream online content (like Sonos). It's not portable, no where close at 80+ pounds. And it's huge; even knowing the dimensions before ordering it, when I pulled it from it's box, it is really BIG. Consider it a piece of furniture.

But most importantly, it sounds great, especially for the price. I am using a Chromecast Audio set at high dynamic range and it presents very full rish sound. I haven't tried Bluetooth, so I can't speak to how that sounds.

If you're looking for a standalone self-powered speaker and don't need it to stream content directly (you have another source), and if you have the room for it, this is a great speaker.

Just buy it...
by Brandan (5 out of 5 stars)

Ive had a lot of sound systems & home theater systems in my day. I was already familiar with the fluance sound as for I use their bookshelf speakers for my in home DJ set up.

Tired of all the wires from a home theater system. I decided to downsize and grab this. I will tell you $500 may seem steep, but I haven't looked back after owning six months now. Worth every penny.

The sound quality is utterly immaculate! We tested it out over a party with our DJ controller connected to it to try to push it to it's limits and we were unable to hear any distortion at 75-85%. I will note... It's not for apartments. It shaked the entire house when we fully tested it. In our apartment me have it tuned way down out of courtesy to our neighbors.

Portability is terrible! It's super heavy! So if you're trying to take this thing everywhere frequently I highly advise against.

Design is very modern you'll either love it or hate it. It absolutely suites my decor.

Bluetooth is acceptable there is a slight delay and quality/static is not near as good as other inputs. I rarely use Bluetooth on it and have everything hardwired in via aux or optial. I advise a dual shielded aux cable. It'll eliminate all interference.

Cons: Touch capacitive buttons on top are garbage. I've resorted to sliding my finger across them to ensure it registers the touch. Aside from power... I just don't use them anymore.

All in all, after the speakers are broken in... By far the best speaker investment I've ever purchases. Once we move to our house next year I will be buying a second on to pair!

PLEASED, VERY PLEASED.
by Jeffrey Darche (5 out of 5 stars)

MAKES A STATEMENT. STUNNING LOOKS WITH GREAT SOUND. WOULD LOVE TO SEE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE SATELLITE SPEAKERS TO BROADEN SOUND STAGE OR USE IN ADDITIONAL ROOMS. THAT BEING SAID...THIS ITEM WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN FOR WHAT IT CLAIMS TO BE. SIMPLE, ELEGANT, USER FRIENDLY. PLENTY OF BASS, MIDRANGE, AND TREBLE. OPENS UP AND SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL AFTER A BREAK IN PERIOD OF 2 TO 3 DAYS...EVEN BETTER AFTER A WEEK. SEEMS TO HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A BIT OF PROTECTION AND DOES NOT TRY TO SELF DESTRUCT IF ALL LEVELS ARE MAXED OUT.( MORE KID & IDIOT FRIENDLY)
