Fluance speakers = terrific sound with unbeatable value
(5 out of 5) by Phantom Unmasker on Sep 23, 2007 (USA)I'm sure you could marginally improve the sound by spending five to ten times the cost of these beautifully built tower speakers, but I don't see why any rational buyer would spend the huge extra cost for such a tiny return.
I bought these as the foundation for a 6.1 home theater system, adding a center channel speaker, three rear surrounds, and a 10" amplified subwoofer, also by Fluance. Driven by a Yamaha AV receiver, the system fills our modest 1400 square foot home with pure and powerful sound that we can enjoy for hours at a time without suffering from listening fatigue. For our home, the subwoofer may not even have been needed except to shake things up (literally) in movies like Jurassic Park.
For the whole 6.1 system (not including receiver), we paid right around a grand. I'm not going to call it a steal, but it was the best deal I've found in a good many years. Oh, and the people at Fluance were great (you can find a contact telephone number at the Fluance.com web site). They referred me to this site when I found they weren't set up to handle my particular credit card. The cost ordering through Amazon was just about the same as it would have been had I ordered directly from the Fluance web site.

Fluance ES-1 great sounding front speakers at a great price
(5 out of 5) by G. Cabatingan on Feb 10, 2009 (La Palma, CA)I bought these pair of Fluance ES-1 front speakers not knowing what to expect as far as sound quality. (Never heard of Fluance before). I just like the contemporary design of these speakers to compliment the interior of my apartment. Very expensive looking speakers. The design is comparable to Mirage and Bang&Olofsen except for the price.
However, after setting it up with my Harman Kardon receiver and Boston acoustics subwoofer, I realized that not only I am getting a great deal for this contemporary front speakers but a great sounding speakers too. I am very satisfied with its performance and I will definitely buy from Fluance again. I highly recommend these speakers to everyone especially if you are on a budget.

Great looks and price
(5 out of 5) by Richard Hebbourn on Mar 12, 2009I am extremely happy with my purchase. These speakers look great with my entertainment center and TV, and the glossy piano finish really makes them look classy. My wife was worried that they would look out of place, but now that they're set up she is convinced that they make the living room look nicer.
Although I've heard quite a few good things about the ES1 speakers, I was still surprised by the amount of bass that comes through them. The highs are even better - each note is crisp and defined, and the sound fills my entire house. Now matter how loud I turned up the receiver, I couldn't detect any distortion. I will definitely recommend these speakers to my friends!
