Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp?


Thinking about either of these. I’m surprised there isn’t more direct comparisons as they’re both dual concentric and near the same price. Anyone try both or thoughts on these? Thanks

I bought Crutchfield’s demo pair of SP888’s. They are awesome, they are nicely articulate and play loud with great bass. I sold a pair of Magico A5’s prior to buying. They do not play loud and I would not go back for anything. Onkyo Grand Integra M-510 amplifier and Canary Audio CA-601 MKII pre and a variety of sources all of which sound great! $26k vs $5k easy choice!

I haven't heard the MoFi but I have heard the Fyne and it was not for me. It struck me as more about hi fi than the music and I am very pleased to say I went the Sonus Faber route.

I bought a pair of Fyne F-702s several years ago; they have 8” woofers and were a bit deficient in that department.  Adding a pair of subs made a huge difference, and not just below 50 hz.  I am driving the Fynes with a tube preamp and Odyssey monobloc power amps, via Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables, and the sound is, in the perception of my old ears, superb: great tonal qualities, imaging, instrument and voice reproduction, and soundstage.  I had wished I had purchased either the F-703 or F-704, but the addition of the subs more than satisfied those desires.  I believe I am end state in terms of reproducing the music for what I have spent.  I will, however, need to upgrade my streamer at some point.  The Fynes are keepers for me.  I believe the SP models are made in Scotland.

If I had the room size and budget I’d go for the Mofi.  See Erin’s review in an earlier post.  He bought a pair and he’s heard more than most of us.  Agree with the need to listen in your room and return for little or no cost.  Your room has a huge impact on how the speakers will sound followed by the equipment in your system.  Enjoy your speaker journey.
