Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?


Whathifi has given a few of their speakers some high praise. Some of their designs look shockingly similar to Tannoy. Especially the F500 series, which is pretty much the exact same design as the XT Revolution Tannoy series. Did someone from Tannoy split off from the company?


Either way they are a nice looking speaker.

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.

Brian - How are the 502sp at low volumes? I listened to a pair at a dealer and I really couldn’t get a full idea of how they sound at low level. I though they sounded pretty awesome in the showroom.

If anyone is in the Rochester, NY area or surrounding cities, Forefront Audio is a dealer for Fyne speakers. He has a few of them on display that can be heard.
