Fluance FiSDK500 Two-way High Performance Wood Speaker Dock Tube. Duration : 6.57 Mins.


The Fluance FiSSDK500 is a iPod dock for the listener who is concerned with both sound quality and overall look of the unit. I am happy to say that the Fluance speaker accomplishes both tasks with ease. The Fluance FiSDK500 offers dual 5" Rubber Butyl speakers that provide smooth sound across the entire frequency range. While some of the other brands have a little more market recognition, few if any offer the combination of sound quality, looks, and value quite like the Fluance. - My very first impression was very negative. However, after I let it "break-in" for an afternoon, I became impressed by its performance. I have never seen a speaker which had its performance so effected by a break-in period. The manufacture recommends breaking in the speaker for period of 10 hours while playing at a medium volume. I highly recommend that you do this otherwise you will not be maximizing your speaker's performance. - The speaker is larger than I expected - it weighs a little over 15 pounds. Also, the speaker is not really portable due to the size and its inability to accept batteries. -The volume indicator can not be turned off nor can it be dimmed. - The integrated amplifier offers 20 watts RMS of power. - The speaker comes with a real thin plastic coating that helps protect the surface. It should be removed so that you can enjoy the speaker's glossy finish. - The Fluance FiSDK500 comes with RCA and S-Video inputs, and an adapter that allows an headphone input to plug into RCAs ...

Fluance High Performance 2.1 Wood Tower Speaker Dock FiTSD600 Tube. Duration : 6.85 Mins.


I have reviewed over a dozen ipod docks, and many of them have been quite good. Docks by Bose (Soundlink), Altec Lansing (like the IMT 810) Logitech (715i), and Philips (he Fidelio Series) all have some nice sounding products. However, none of them, are even close, to the the Fluance FiTSD600. You can see it, to some extent, in the video review but this speaker has fantastic sound. The Fluance Tower is big.... it is about 4 feet tall and weighs about 35lbs (15Kg), so it does take up a fair amount of room. In fact, it is large enough that it may be too large for a standard dorm room. It also delivers with power - a 36 watt amplifier is able to provide plenty of volume and it has the power to deliver solid and crisp bass. Notes - - While it sounds great right out of the box - allowing the speaker to break-in for about 20-30hours will help bring out a little more overall depth. - Great look - the solid wood case adds to the weight (not that weight is a matter) and gives the speaker a very classy look. The speaker has the finish of a glossy black grand piano. - Sound - again, to me, this is clearly the best sounding iPod dock on the market. The speaker is neither punchy or bright, but it offers plenty of bass and a very clean frequency response all the way to top of the frequency response. - AM and FM Radio - The Fluance FiTSD600 has a built in tuner. It doesn't seem like much, but I do enjoy have a built in tuner built into the dock. You also have the ability to save ...
