Fluance Reference Floorstanding 5.1 Speaker Systems
The Reference XL8 Series is the mid-priced tier of matched home theater speakers offered by Fluance of Canada. (Their best offering is the Signature Hi-Fi Series.) Although designed and engineered in Canada, their speakers are actually made in China to keep prices as affordable as possible for their customers. Fluance provides an industry-leading lifetime limited warranty on all of their passive speakers, as well as two years on their powered subwoofers!
Other than being available in your choice of either Black Ash or Natural Walnut finish, the only difference between the Fluance Reference XL8 Series 5.1 speaker system bundles featured in the following section compared to the last section below is the type of rear surrounds that are included — bipolar speakers versus bookshelf speakers. The deciding factor between the two types should depend both on what will work best in your specific room, and also whether you prefer your rear surround effects to be more diffuse and indirect (bipolar) or more direct-firing (bookshelf).

Besides one of the Fluance Reference XL8 5.1 home theater speaker systems below, you’ll also need to separately supply or select and buy a home theater receiver. Speaker wire, subwoofer cable, HDMI cables, et cetera are also sold separately.
