Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP?

I was planning on picking up a pair of Tannoy Turnberry speakers in the near future, but remembered about Fyne audio. While I'd love to get some of the 700 series speakers, they are just a bit beyond my budget. However, I am curious how the 502SP would stack up vs the Turnberry. Does anyone have any insight? 

They are roughly the same price, with the Turnberry's being slightly more.

Are the Turnberry's priced per pair or per single speaker?

I have had Turnberry speakers for 5 years and recently auditioned the Fyne 703 which retails for $15k or so. The Fyne sound very similar. No surprise because the Fyne people came from Tannoy. I didn’t purchase  the F703s. Not worth it at all to me. 
 

Turnberrys retail for around $9k.  Much better deal than the Fynes IMO.

You may find this fact interesting. Jim Smith of Get Better Sound fame sold his Tannoy Canterbury speakers with $10,000 upgraded Duelund crossovers for the Fyne 703s. He enjoys the Fyne’s as much and mentioned perhaps even more than his $30,000 Canterbury speakers.

I own the Fyne F704s and they are remarkable. I have heard great things about the 502SP from owners. Do try and listen for yourself.

Dr. Paul Mills is Fyne Audio’s lead designer/engineer and came over from Tannoy. He was Tannoy’s design and engineering lead for 3 decades! The Fyne speakers have some great new design features and I think deliver the goods sonically. Great value.
