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

Sorry if it was mentioned, but what are the destination room dimensions? And what type of amplification? These are both high sensitivity speakers, is that a requirement?

It’s a weird room with a part slanted ceiling, lots of stuff in it, but fairly big like 16’x 24’ .

I currently have:

Musical Fidelity M6si/Willsenton R8

Eversolo A8

Polk R700/Revel M22 bookshelf

 

A used pair of Focal Kanta 1’s on stands 

would be outstanding and in the same price range 

Good luck Willy-T

Thanks. I went an audio place today and heard a pair of the Fyne 501sp and the Magnepan LRS+. The Fyne’s are pretty small! They sounded very good, esp on simpler music. Good speed and soundstage, very nice and rich sound. It didn’t seem as good on busy, full rock and distortion.

But the room used to demo was so small that we couldn’t really turn them up! And the salesperson played songs I didn’t know, although I requested a few. I passed on them and they sounded very good but small”ish” -needed a better room to breathe. The treble would need more listening.

I’d never heard Magnepans and it was definitely different. Nice sound but once again, too small a room to turn up and really get the soundstage. One sounded louder than the other too??! Probably my ears but there’s these little circles inside that weren’t the same on each speaker- no idea what they are…. Kinda of unfortunate overall. The giant room has mad some high end Sonus Faber, they sounded good, lol.
