Fluance believes everyone should experience audio in its truest form, recreating the per-

formance the way the artist intended. Utilizing only superior components and expert audio

engineering, their products are a testament to the performance that can be achieved when

a passion for music takes center stage. The perfect complement to any audiophile’s lifestyle,

you’ll be enjoying live performances in your home for years to come.

Break-in Period

Our speakers have a Butyl rubber ring surrounding the cone. The break-in period allows

the rubber to loosen and stretch, allowing the cone a larger range of movement, resulting

in better sound reproduction. We recommend 10-12 hours of play at moderate volume to

achieve this.
