Fluance

Sales of vinyl records are on the rise, along with a resurgence in the manufacture of gear needed to play them on. Fluance has launched a turntable designed to offer "an accessible, yet sophisticated and upgradeable, high-fidelity audio experience."

Quality improvements in vinyl records are clearly not high quality enough for some listeners, as there are moves to introduce HD vinyl. Fluance has clearly seen the writing on the wall, and has today launched its brand new Reference Series High Fidelity Turntables.​

There's no shortage of Bluetooth speakers jostling for a place in your shopping cart. Fluance is hoping to catch your eye with the unusual looks of the Fi70, and please your ear with a 3-way driver system powered by a 280 W integrated amplifier.

In the ever-expanding galaxy of Bluetooth speakers, portability and price are often the priority at the expense of style and sound, but the Fluance Fi50 is a slick, wood-frame speaker that succeeds in flipping that script.
