Not sure if F80 is primary material - dpends on what you are replacing. Its not the sound quality, but the soundstage. If you are going to want to have a wide stereo soundstage and go pin pointing the instruments, I think a 'classic' stereo system may deliver better results simply due to the physics of having the speakers 6 ft apart rather than 6" - although you would think that the 6" spacing of the speakers on the F80 are in reality much farther apart, but probably not 6'. But there is a width setting to tweak.
