I bought a 5.q set of these as "place holders" at my house for Elacs or KEFs down the line. That was 4 years ago and since then I bought a second 5.1 set of Flaunce Elites for a second room and am toying with buying a third set for a third room.
They do a great job filling a fairy large room with crisp clear sound. Over four years they have been put to the test with some loud events and they have stood the test of time. I bought the white elites and the white is a stark white pop in the room (I never imagined I'd like white speakers. If you have a fairly bright white trim in your house these will go well).
The first set I got was handled poorly during the shipping process but the company was very responsive and replaced the damaged speakers quickly. They can take the rough and tumble abuse of children, which I am amazed at considering the price point. I have had my child slam into them, once im particular with a set of drums that sliced up one of the speaker, and although I am looking to replace it because of the look of the gash the sound pumping from the damaged speaker hasn't been effected.
Please note they do need a break in period. For me I beleive it was about a week for the sound to come to life. If you buy the set don't be shy with adjusting the center speaker's prest volume by raising preset volume level a little more then the front left/right speakers. You will also want to find the sweet spot for your sub's crossover adjustment. But once you've tuned them in just right to your taste they'll be hard to part ways with.
In the past I have had various models of speakers including: Mirage, Technics, Kenwood, Sony, Klipsch, Polk, and a few others at a considerably higher price point. Something about these blow the others away.
Everyone is going to experience speakers a little diferently but I would highly recommend these; especially if the purchase of these are part of a larger project and your looking for great quality at low price point. Look no further and spend your have funds elsewhere. If you're in any way in the above described boat definitely consider these speakers!

I think I saved $400 and Got Some Good Speakers too!
I waited a month to review these speakers because I wanted to be honest and have a thorough opinion about them. I found out about these on Amazon and read all of the reviews, so I decided to try them. They were $400 less than others that I was considering, so I had to take the word of the reviewers. I am glad that I did.First off, I am no expert on music and all of the specifications that come with describing stereo equipment. I just know good sound when I hear it.I bought these for a new entertainment system for our living room. I paired them up with a new Sony STR-DN850 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver that I also bought from Amazon. And I am playing vinyl LPs on an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct-Drive.These three purchases work so well together. The sound from the speakers is crisp. They are powerful. I have put the receiver almost to full volume and nothing sounds distorted or crackles.As others have said, the speakers come in some really good packaging. Double boxed. Double foamed. It took me two weeks to break it all down and put it in the recycle bin.The speakers look very nice and I think pretty classy. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
