@mike4597 Thank you for sharing the information in the DM Mike. I tried to write you back but the website won't let me for some reason. This is great information though. I am demoing some more speakers this weekend including the Linkwitz lx521, Tannoy Arden's, Mofi 888's and whatever Commonwave HiFi presents to me. I should hopefully make my decision next week.
Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair
Hello,
I am currently shopping for a whole new system. I demoed Klipsch Cornwall's and Fyne 502SP's. They were both great in their own regard however I was won over by the Fyne Audio 502SP's because of the holographic illusion they were able to generate. I demoed them with a Music Fidelity M6si amp and Bluenote Icon streamer.
They are currently at the top of my list but this is a big investment and I want to make sure I do my due diligence before pulling the trigger.
I am interested to know if there are any other speakers in this price range i should be checking out before making my decision? I listen to a wide variety of music including electronic, classic rock, indy rock, hip-hop, orchestral music etc...
In addition to the holographic nature of the 502SP's I also liked the clarity and punch they gave. I have read about the Ascend Audio ELX towers, Mofi 888's and Tannoy Arden's, but only seem to be able to set up a demo of the Mofi 888's which i plan on doing soon. I live in the LA area if that helps.
Thanks for your help

@julesg13th , I own the Tannoy Legacy Arden if you have any specific questions I can answer. Upscale’s blow out pricing on them is pretty good for what appears to be minor cosmetic blems. However, these are the later Chinese built units and i would probably pull the drivers to ensure everything inside is wired up properly. in short, they image very well and provide excellent full range sound. They also remove a lot of the room from the equation being a point source design. Still very happy with them, but I’ve also side eyed the newer Fyne Classic 12s and Mofi Sourcepoint V10. |
@bjesien I’m curious about the Devore Super Nines. Any chance you could compare them to the Fortes and Cornwalls? TIA. |
You should give Philharmonic audio a call maybe someone near you has a pair they can set up an audition with. When I was shopping they set me up with someone about 30 miles away, this was 12 years ago and were still friends. The speakers are amazing, I love listening to them, top to bottom response. Due to the price difference I ended up with used Maggie 1.7 that came up at the time. |
