Fluance Fi70 is a high-quality and elegant home Bluetooth speaker system

Fluance Fi70 - Lifestyle

Bluetooth speakers are awesome. They are convenient, often inexpensive, and sometimes portable. If I want to listen to music in my backyard, at the beach, or in my home, an inexpensive unit can do the trick.

Unfortunately, these little speakers are often lacking in sound quality. Yeah, they are usually better than integrated smartphone and tablet speakers, but hardly up to snuff for audiophiles or hardcore music enthusiasts. Enter the Fluance Fi70. This elegant three-way music system looks to be the Bluetooth speaker of which many of us have been dreaming.

"At the core of the Fi70 are powerful dual 8 inch woofers, 5 inch woven glass fiber midrange drivers and 1 inch neodymium tweeters, which offer superior sound quality, unmatched by any speaker within its price range. Its 280 watt built-in amplifier boasts big performance and delivers exceptional bass response starting as low as 30Hz. The Fi70's ability to deliver such incredible sound allows it to replace complete home stereo systems, sound bars and other high-quality audio solutions", says Fluance.

The company further explains, "its aptX streaming capabilities improve the quality of Bluetooth audio, ensuring every single note and beat is heard. The speaker's integrated equalizer allows users to easily adjust treble and bass to their preference. It can also be utilized to amplify the sound of a television with its optical input - perfect for upcoming Super Bowl parties. Additional features include auxiliary input, touch controls to adjust a variety of settings, digital AM/FM radio, LED display and a USB port to simultaneously charge USB-powered devices while soaking in the sound".

Keep in mind, folks, this is not your typical Bluetooth speaker. This is essentially a piece of furniture -- there is no battery and it is certainly not portable. Quite frankly, it is a piece of art, with awe-inspiring specifications. This should deliver exceptional mids, highs and lows.

It is also quite unique in that it has an optical input and can tune in FM/AM radio stations. Its touch buttons and LED screen should come in very handy. It should serve well for music via Bluetooth, but also movies and TV shows too.

While the Fluance Fi70's potential is huge, so too is its price tag. At $499, it is significantly more than most. With that said, you get what you pay for. Whether you choose black ash, lucky bamboo or natural walnut finishes, you should not only experience impressive sound quality, but a beautiful addition to your room's décor too.
