Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?

Wow, I remember Gene Rubin from my old audio days. Good dealer. Good fellow to do business with and rely on. j

Look up the reviews on Youtube. One English guy has this speaker compared to several others and he mentioned what I suspected from the Soundstage review. The Sounstage guy did a "Wow, gee whiz look what I got" review but it wasn't very thorough in that he only paired it with a Marantz warm receiver also just listened near field and in addition to not trying it with several other amps and trying speaker locations on stands, it was just a "I like my new speakers rave review" I think they probably are on the thin, lively side of things and need warm support electronics to sound right. I also noted a titanium tweeter. Personally I prefer fabric tweeters or a well managed EMIT. Metal domes seem to be too shouty for me. Just my taste but when I heard my suspicions confirmed by the Brit reviewer, I decided that it's not a speaker I'd last with but you may conclude something else.

I recently heard the 502 special edition. Very open clear top end w/plenty of bottom. If you like the Tannoy sound you'll like Fyne. Easy to power you can use a 20 wpc amp. I would look for integrateds and preamps on the warm side to balance out the top end. Luxman 590, Pass, and CJ are a few of the electronics that would pair well w/the 502. Also room size is important. These were made for larger rooms as the bass could overwhelm your listening space. The special edition is built in Scotland. The drivers in the 502SP are the same as in the 16K 702. The 502SP is 5K.

Check out a review by Small Room Audio on Youtube. I think he's being quite unbiased. Basically he said that the $400 Triangle Borea Bro2 was preferable in his system. Another review said equipment matching was necessary. Code for it needs calm, even dark electronics, mello like a Marantz receiver. 

I have had the 502SPs for a few months now and they are awesome. Mike at Suncoast made it happen.
