That's when positioned close to the speakers such as in a desk setup. We’re able to easily distinguish between different elements and when they moved from left to right or vice versa. The Fluance Ai41 still sounds like itself, just a tad brighter or a tad darker, or with just a little more or a little less bass. And, while that more analog sound works well for music, we prefer the cleaner, more detailed sound of the digital connections.Īdjusting the treble and bass controls yields surprisingly subtle changes. That high-mid bump seems to sound a little compressed as well. The audio is a little hazier and slightly less defined through this analog connection. And, if you’re using these for a computer setup that doesn’t have an optical audio connection, this is how you’ll most likely be connected to the speakers. The frequency range is slightly different when connected through the RCA output. Just expect the vocals to pop a tiny bit more than you might be used to. And, the high end is crisp and detailed without being fatiguing. The mids are generally well-balanced though there’s a high-mid bump that does seem to make these speakers sound like they’re rich but also bright. When watching Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, for example, you can still clearly hear all the sub-bass frequencies when the rings are being shot at someone, or there’s some kind of energy blast. It's not quite wall-shaking, but it's impressive nonetheless considering there’s no subwoofer. And, its bass response does extend pretty low for a 2.0 system. The fact that the Fluance Ai41 are ported speakers means that you sacrifice some volume for better bass response. It just doesn’t turn up enough to blow you away. You’ll be able to hear everything clearly.

But, it doesn’t quite have enough volume when used with a TV for a truly cinematic experience. You most likely won’t be turning these up all the way if you’re a foot or two away from the speakers. The amount of volume on tap on the Fluance Ai41 is more than enough for a personal stereo or computer setup. There are some limitations for non-music applications like TV and gaming.Sound quality is fun, slightly bright, but with deep bass.(Image credit: Future / Michelle Rae Uy) Fluance Ai41 Speakers: Performance
#BLACK BOOK CASE BLUETOOTH#
We are able to test with both, with the Bluetooth sounding slightly better than the analog connection – despite a tiny bit of latency. And, since that laptop doesn’t have an optical out, our only choice was to use an analog connection or Bluetooth. We used these speakers with an Alienware laptop for some testing. The only issue with the Fluance Ai41’s connectivity is that there’s no USB or USB-C.
#BLACK BOOK CASE PLUS#
We are able to do it with various combinations of sources, including two Bluetooth devices and an analog plus Bluetooth connection. In fact, even though Fluance doesn’t advertise any kind of multi-point connectivity, we are able to pair two devices at once and switch sources just by pausing audio on one and playing on the other. As far as that connectivity goes, there’s optical audio for use with TVs and higher end desktops, RCA input to be used with turntables or with any other device that has an analog out (you just have to use an RCA to 3.5mm cable), and Bluetooth 5.0 that is very easy to pair.
