I'm planing on buying some new fronts and center. Is athena fs-1 any good? I heard them over other speakers and thought they sounded great. The pair is going to cost me $400. Is there better floor speakers other for this price or should I get bookshelf speakers and get stands which is better?

The ASF2 (which is the same as the ASF1 except for an extra 8" woofer) has rave reviews. Just visit www.athenaspeakers.com and look under the press reviews and awards section.

i own both the as-f1's(rears) and i have as-f2's as my fronts. Both of them are fantastic speakers, but i think if you have room to spend another 200 dollars, the As-f2's are definitely the way to go. The AS-f1's sound great though, they really can't be touched for the price they go for, they pack a nice punch

Check out AS-1B at bestbuy if you live near one. I like the sound better than bigger brothers - prettier sound. I would mate it with a sony sub sa-wm500, and you get a full sound + prettier mid.

 www.etronics.com has good prices on sony subs - they are quite good for the money - pleasant boomy sound especially good for movies ( some think too boomy for music, but I simply love it)
