Fluance DB10 10-inch Low Frequency Ported Front Firing Powered Subwoofer for Home Theater & Music

A perfect compliment for my Fluance signature series bookshelf speakers. Good controlled bass without being boomy. Front port (as it should be) allows sub to be pushed back closer to the wall. No chuffing from port. Excellent for both music and movies. If I had to pick on one thing. When the power switch is selected to auto, the sub will shut off when the volume is very low.

Amazing bass, no rattles, good crossover. The forward ported design makes it much better for placing near a wall. Is crazy loud even on lower volumes. No complaints.

Excellent sub woofer paired with Fluance powered speakers. One vital thing to remember however, is that unlike the powered speakers and turntables Fluance has not built the DB10 with dual voltage rating ( 120V to 240V range). It’s just 120V. Therefore in 240V countries a step down transformer is required. My mistake was assuming all Fluance products were dual rated - so I rate the DB10 sub woofer based on my second purchase. I cooked the first one. At US$199 it is value for money. It get’s expensive when you add in the shipping cost when not in the ‘free delivery’ zone of USA and Canada which to Australia was more than the purchase price.

VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY AND BUILD OF THE PRODUCT! SOUNDS AMAZING ALSO. THE PACKAGING WAS STELLAR! DOUBLE BOXED AND LOTS OF INTERIOR PROTECTION, SHIPPERS ALWAYS HAVE A WAY TO PUNCH HOLES IN BOXES, NO DAMAGE TO SUB.

This was purchased with intent on deep bass to layer my sound. It just is missing a little bit of umf. Has a hollow mid to low bass sound.

Clear, great punch and performs well at both high and low volumes. Received in well protective packge.

A while back I started to build up my stereo system so I could finally listen to my vinyl again. I bought Klipsch RP600M speakers, the Fluance RT85 turntable, and paired it with an older Yamaha amp. Given the abuse my 63-year-old ears took decades ago this I knew I didn't want to blast my music (not to mention I don't need to annoy my neighbors (I live in a small apartment with neighbors on either side). I'd heard the Klipsch might be a bit 'bright' sounding (code for not super base?). And after about 2 weeks I saw that while the Klipsch has great detail and expansive sound stage I was forced to use the EQ to bring up the base on base centric music such as Mingus and Thundercat. So I went to the forums and asked for recommendations for a sub that sounded good a lower (40% range) volumes. Once the laughter subsided and a few 'That's an oxymoron man! you can't have both base and low volumes'. But I kept researching and eventually ran across this Fluance DB10W 10-inch sub. The price was right, it has a good set of controls and connection variety (important for my older amp). So I tried it. Within 24 hours of setting it up I knew I'd found what I needed and Fluance once again hit the mark! Thank you Fluance both for the turntable and the sub.(btw... at the risk of being a noob... what is 'Sheerness' I didn't give the sub a ratting on that because I don't know what it means, does it mean sharpness, definition, clarity, transparency, brightness... once again does the language of audio fall short? :) )

I'm running two at a time...smooth base and they work great
