Our take on the Fluance Ri71 Powered Bookshelf Speakers

The Fluance Ri71 is a pair of powered bookshelf speakers with built-in amplification, so no separate receiver or amp is needed. Each cabinet carries a 5-inch woven fiber mid-bass driver and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, driven by class D amplification rated around 70 watts per channel. Inputs cover Bluetooth, optical, USB audio, RCA and a subwoofer output, which makes the pair a compact stereo system for a desk, TV or turntable setup. Against rivals like the Audioengine A5+ and Edifier S1000MKII, the Ri71 adds a sub out and USB DAC but has no network streaming, AirPlay or multiroom, so it is a wired-and-Bluetooth system rather than a smart speaker.
