ruskie,
I have had the FS1's for a long time now and I am still more than pleased with them (although I haven't used them since I left UK in January, but will surely keep them for a long time when I get back this year). Firstly, the WAF, the design, the style the coolness is just absolutely stunning. Everyone who's has seen them is just astounded what design you can get for such a small price. Yes design is important to me and in my small home simplicity and design are even more important to make the home appear bigger and more spacious. Of course, the sound has to be equally good, and they all (albeit maybe few of my friends has anything to compare with, but nevertheless) has been impressed with the sound.
The speakers are driven by the warm, powerful, musical and dynamical Marantz 4300 and the combination result is very good.
The dialogue is clear, very wide, spacy sound and no sweetspots in my room (huge advantage when there are loads of us, which is often, everyone gets the optimal sound), the bass is more than enough (they even tell me to turn down LFE's). I can play quite loud but it admittedly won't hold a mega loud volume.
The only negative points are that the sub dimensions is a bit too bulky and there is no adjustable crossover filter, but I shall not complain too much considering I'm very happy with the overall result.
Yes there are of course better speakers for the money, but not with the WAF in mind.
If I had a separate movie room or say a big living room where I could more easily hide speakers in different ways, then the situation would be different, the WAF would not be top priority.
Regarding amps, just to let u know, Pioneer is releasing the x14 series in June, and 914 and 1014 has automatic MCACC while 814 still has manual and they also gain DPL-IIx but otherwise nothing groundbreaking. Yamaha are also releasing their x50 series sometime in Q2, which RX-V750 and 650 also has auto-setup feature.
