Fluance, the company well-known for its high-performance, high-fidelity vinyl turntables is gaining headway in the home audio and entertainment game with its Ai81 Powered Floor Standing Speakers. You won't need a separate base to incorporate these into your home theater, and unlike most bookshelf speakers, you'll revel in the full range of sound as you watch movies and listen to music. Highly reviewed for its exceptional mid-range and low-frequency performance, the internal 150W amplifier shows off its bass in a big way. Furthermore, this is the type of speaker you want to put on display. Engineered in MDF wood cabinets, they're available in four different colors including modern natural wood tones. Owning a pair of speakers like these usually comes at a much higher price point (yes, I've been known to geek out over a nice B&O design). And when size matters, take note that speakers stand bold at over 3 feet tall, powering and towering over little brothers, the Ai61 and Ai41.

"I searched high and low looking for tower speakers that would check all my boxes and these have exceeded my expectations."
"Absolutely love the versatility and the most importantly the sound. Highly recommend!"
"These speakers pick up incredible ranges of frequencies from the lowest (at subwoofer levels) to the highest (like being able to hear a pin drop). The clarity, power, and richness of my audio listening experience is truly brought fully to life thanks to these speakers."
