Summary:
Awesome in all ways possible. My system is:
Hitachi 53SWX10B Projection TV
Pioneer Elite DV-37 DVD Player
Pioneer DX-608 Receiver (To be replaced)
Polk Audio RT55's Front R/L
Polk Audio CS1000 Center
Polk Audio F/X1000 Surround R/L
No sub since I live in an apartment, probably add a Velodyne later. I use system for home theatre primarily, but it is good musically too.

Strengths:
Bi-Pole/Di-Pole. Bi-ampable. Two baffles with tweeter/woofer pair on each.

Weaknesses:
Wall mounting.

I work for a major audio retailer and have tested most other commonly available speakers, the F/X1000's are the best I saw.

Price Paid:  $299.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
I went to Circuit City to buy the FX500's and saw that they had the FX1000's and the CS1000 on clearance at nearly half price. I asked the salesman if the price was correct and he said, "Yes". Needless to say I broke out the credit card so fast the salesman got whiplash.

This is one of the best surround out there. Bar none!

Strengths:
Everything. Sound: Clear and Accurate. Bi-wirable. Full range speaker.

Weaknesses:
None
