Fyne Speakers now in the USA

I noticed that Suncoast Audio in Sarasota Florida is now selling Fyne speakers. I'm in NH so it would be a bit of a road trip for me. Has anyone heard them. Apparently they were designed by former speaker designers from Tannoy. Looking at the specs they seem highly efficient. They seem to be selling very well in Europe and have excellent reviews.

Regarding speaker burn-in. No speaker will ever be totally burnt in unless driven at very high levels during the burn in period. Somewhat like overdriving cables with a cable burn in device but different variables at play.

Regarding Fyne speaker burn in. The models with their FyneFlute surrounds take longer than most speakers to burn in. I've heard reports of around 1000 hours. Hang in there.

I can't imagine that Spotify would sound good on any speaker.

Paired with a Uniti Atom they sound too bright especially Spotify content..is there a burn in period for these speakers?
Actually I'm glad you revived this thread.I was just this week researching 3 way floorstanders for use with a 15wpc.Sugden Class A amp & came across these..Utube videos seem to give an impression of excellent clarity,which I am sure with the wrong amp could come across as bright.Hopefully we will get some updated opinions of them...

@vidya46 Hiya I've owned the F501 for a year now. I dig them so much I just ordered a nearly new set of F502 from Gene Rubin Audio, they arrive in 2 days.  😃

I've owned so many speakers, around 20, in the last 25 years. I recently sold off my big Zu Omen Def, also my Tannoy Cheviot (the new ones). Reason being: these little F501 not only are comparable, I prefer them over each. Here's my own description of how I describe Fyne: 

All the midrange presence of Tannoy + the bass of PMC.

My room is good sized at 20 x 21, and these little Fyne can rumble the entire room.  

About 2 months ago I bought a set of SVS Ultra Tower. It's a close call but I prefer the smaller Fyne due to the effortless mids. Bass is comparable and that's saying something as the SVS have dual 8" woofs each. May be selling the SVS, not sure yet, but it would be more bc I don't need 3 pair (I think ;)  )
