Car chases, explosions, love scenes, helicopters, touchdowns, concerts, and more; your AV setup delivers a lot of intense moments. If you’re looking to get wrapped up in that audio, surround speakers are essential. Having a lot of surround speakers can make that experience even better. After all, the more speakers, the more immersive the listening experience will be, right?
Well, sometimes your space and budget don’t allow for an endless amount of audio speakers. Fluance has created a great solution, whether you’re planning to fill the room with speakers or just want to squeeze a pair of surrounds into a smaller space. As part of the company’s XL Series, the XLBP Wide Dispersion Bipolar Surround Sound Audio Speakers can deliver cinema-quality sound in just about any home, at an affordable price.
Each of these audio speakers packs two 1-inch neodymium balanced silk dome tweeters and two 5-inch midrange drivers with butyl rubber surrounds inside audio-grade MDF wood cabinetry that has a rich finish and glossy piano-black front baffle. Made for placement beside or behind the listeners, each of these cabinets has a multi-directional design. It’s actually like having two complete full-range speaker systems on opposing sides of the cabinet, so that sound really spreads around the room. It’s a nice perk, which allows you to have fewer speakers and still fill the room with sound. Of course, you could also opt for a few extra speakers, to make it truly immersive.
Other features include a frequency response of 60Hz-20KHz, 8 ohms impedance, and a sensitivity rating of 88dB.
“Bipolar speakers are rare in current home theater systems,” says Deepak Jain, president of Fluance. “To hear a fighter jet soar around you or the wild cries of an epic battle, these bipolar speakers will disperse detailed soundtracks so you feel like you are in the center of the action.”
Fluance is selling XLBP Wide Dispersion Bipolar Surround Sound Audio Speakers now in walnut and mahogany, priced at $199.99 per pair.
Fluance speakers are a must for the budget minded consumer who wants quality audio at a reasonable price. I’ve used them for my 5.1 system, including true bi-amped in the front left/right, for over a year. I love them and my wallet feels unscathed.
