Introduction

Fluence believes everyone should experience audio in its truest form, recreating the performance 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 breaking period allows the rubber to loosen and stretch, allowing the cone a larger range of movement, which gives a better sound reproduction. We recommend 10-12 hours of play at moderate volume to achieve this.
