I am another FS owner (deluxe mkII) who is able to comfortably endorse them. They are dynamic,detailed, tonally "right",articulate, refined and nuetral(subject to tube rolling). I have compared to AR refI, and FS was in all ways better--sorry no Wytech Labs. Also do not be fooled by "modest" deluxe mkII--it is no slouch and does not necessitate a higher FS model. Build quality is supurb and mine has not failed at all in 4 years (bought used)
I am sure you will not be disapointed, although previous comments in regard to impact of amp and speakers on the qualities you value are most appropriate. I run mine with high power s/s amp and efficient speakers to get just what you speak of.
