@bjesien so something along the lines of the Cary Audio SLI-100? Not very familiar with that amp, but have heard good things about the brand.
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.

I would compare the 2 companies and see if there are red flags. I don’t understand how Fyne could come up with more models than Tannoy in the 5 years of their existence.
Partly it’s their packaging, and stying, they have more "skins" for similar designs. Still, I would be wary of Fyne, facts don’t lie Sure, Tannoy may have more executive with bigger mortgages baked into the price of the speaker, but as they say 9 women can't give birth to a child in one month. Something with Fyne does not add up....

@grislybutter from my understanding Fyne was founded by many ex-Tannoy people, and they brought with them many years of speaker-making expertise with a modernized design. Many of their models are quite similar to Tannoy offerings in design even - probably for good reason. Tannoy has, in recent years, moved production to China, which has been received pretty poorly overall in the hifi community from what I've gathered. Fyne are made in Scotland. From what it looks like, it seems Tannoy is stuck in the past with not much innovation going on there at the moment, with cost-cutting by moving production to China being a bit problematic. It almost feels like they're just riding on reputation now, whereas Fyne took the Tannoy experience as a launching point and ran with it. This is just what I've gathered and as far as I understand, but I could have some gaps in my understanding as well. | |||||||||
@mmcgill829 thanks, I didn't know most of it. I knew Fyne was founded by ex Tannoy engineers but I don't know how much of Tannoy's IP they can take and reuse It seems unfair to Tannoy. But I am impartial and I know zero about the legal aspects. Looking at pricing, they seem to be a bit steep for my budget, so that's a wash, similar pricing, but what matters is what's inside |
