First asthetics. If you are considering these then looks and flexibility in placement are probably high on your list. Well they are stunning. I payed an extra Ł80 and got a pair of stands for the front pair, which raises them to the height of the centre speaker which fits nicely in the limited space atop my RPTV. The rears are on tables either side of my settee at the rear of the room. Less than a foot high and around two inches thick, I had to press my ear against them to make sure it was these tiny slivers of silver making all that noise!

The bass is provided by a subwoofer, as is common in sub-sat systems and the FS range is unique(?) in that all cables go from the amp to the sub (in an "umbilical 5m long) and thence to the appropriate speaker with the crossover sorted by the sub. Bass is sufficient to shake a large leather sofa 4m away without any strain, so quite appropriate in a 3x4m room in a detachced house.

All cables (45m of decent flat speaker cable!), stands (except the large stands), wall brackets, screws, spikes, rubber feet, etc is included in the package. This is a real "package", nothing else to buy so factor that in to your price calculations.

The low selling price I attribute to the fact that system is two years old and incredibly popular (everyone from hifi shops to box shifters sells them) forcing down prices. Any package you see at the same price everywhere is presumably being fixed by the manufacturer.

One thing to mention is that on the FS2 the sub is black. On the FS1 it is silver. It didn't worry me as my sub is directly behind the TV but YMMV. The sub is a least shaped as a quartyer of a cylinder so can be placed upright in corners or on its side against the bottom of a wall.

So would I recommend them? In a word, yes. Bright, clear treble. Distinct dialogue, plenty of bass from the sub. Looks to die for, unobstrusive, no "sweet spot" making them ideal for use in non-dedicated rooms. Fantastic price and everything in one package. Add to that I got a five year guarantee from HiFi Junkies and I'm very pleased.

Except no substitutes!
