Bought WAF-1 from curveacoustics thru forumer fx20 months ago. Pairing it with Yamaha vx475. After few months using for gaming, movies and music. For me, if vocal or pop songs, the vocal really sweet, the sibliance is so nicely done, not sharp, not bland. Especially female vocal, really nice. my home theater infinity primus set, cost me 7k full set (sarawak con price), doesnt sound as musical, just abit louder and more bass for the tower. I can say the two speaker can produce deep bass, but volume isnt there.

So for electronic music, David Guetta or Zedd, it sounds abit more on the treble, cos not enuf bass volume. when u add a sub to this set, i believe it will be a beast as most of the bass will be done by subwoofer.

I am a newb, so i dont know much to comment, but i just can say there is nothing u can find at such range, sub 1k for a bookshelf that sounds way better than anything u can find out there.

How's the sound signature if compared to HiVi X3?

man, hivi x3 sounds puny in comparison to WAF-1. WAF-1 is a passive speaker FYI. it just doesnt have the room filling sound, details, bass, vocal of WAF-1. for less than 1k, u cant get anything near it.

I hope you enjoy the speaker as much as we do. You definitely need a subwoofer to sweeten your setup and you will like the vocal (midrange) more if you can cross the WAF-1 at 70-80HZ.

BTW, you really got a good deal. I heard the coming production will be much more expensive.
