Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them?

Hi all...

I’m trying to resist the equipment swapitis, but have wondered if moving to the right kind of smaller floorstanders might hit more of a sweet spot for my small listening area (against a short wall corner of a long rectangular living space).

I love...always have loved floorstanders and would rather not move to standmount/sub complexity if I can avoid it. There’s an almost tactile tonal completeness about them that just win me over.

Been seein great things about the Fyne Audio F302 floorstanders. Wondering if anyone here likes them, impressions? Other speakers within their under 1K range that compare and/or supersede?

The Fyne products are said to be former Tannoy engineering.

I had never even heard of Fyne Audio until this weekend. I can tell you the sound of the 702 was very captivating from the start. I truly thought they would sell in the $15,000-$20,000 range. For under $10,000 I Haven’t heard anything better (new anyway).

Hadn’t considered the trademark dual-concentric Tannoy driver design present in the higher levels...good point. I don’t know if I could justify the 502’s floorstanders from a budgetary standpoint. Too many things that must be done to our old house! Also, they are likely a bit much for my space. However the 500 standmount speakers look to be substantial enough in design and response for me to consider for my small area, even if I do prefer floorstanders.

That’s entirely encouraging...and does speak to their entire line I would think. Looks like you may be leaning toward those 502sp’s? :)

I’m trying to not have preconceived notions of what I might hear in the 502SP. Just seems to be an interesting alternative to the 702. Now that I have thought about it, the sales rep stated that the only differences in the 502SP and the 702 were: 
1) the smaller 502 cabinets and
2) the 702 crossover used in the 502SP is not cryogenically treated as they are in the 702.

All else is the same including drivers.

Listened to the 302 connected to a primaluna integrated, sounded really sweet.
