DFW folks - anyone have these speakers I could listen to?

@carlsbad2 I wish I could disagree. But don’t blame the Tannoys.  I don’t understand why Upscale doesn’t spend for a big first floor room to show the Tannoys. And bring Canterburys as well.  I own Autograph Minis w/NAIM UNITI ATOM) and Kensington GRs (w/Pathos InPol Heritage) and would never go back to Harbeth, Focal or Rockport all of which I’ve owned.  If you can listen to Tannoy in a decent room I think you’ll be impressed.  

You should probably think about joining our club in DFW

@kennyc I’m also heard the Tannoy at the LA THE Show. Sonically I wasn’t impressed- seemed like the sound was from old tech speakers.
Fyne was established by past Tannoy employees so their offerings are more advanced than Tannoy who doesn’t seem to invest in improvements.

Yeah, I've had my eye on Fyne since I heard about them some years ago. Sadly, wasn't in the position to buy pre-pandemic, and their prices have gone up quite a bit in just a few years. It definitely seems like they've taken the Tannoy blueprint and run with it to modernize and move it forward. I do wish the cabinets on the 700 series were nicer though for the price asked. The F1 line is beautiful, but well outside my price range.

I've talked with a few Coherent owners (15 and 18 series) and they speak very highly of them (though, talking to owners of things is never getting an unbiased opinion). They seem to consistently win awards at shows as well.

The Tannoy GR room at the LA show yesterday was the worst room of show yesterday at LA.  Going back today.  I'll stop in and see if they got it worked out at all.

Ouch. That's a shame. Sticking with Tannoy and moving up the line was my 'safe' bet, sort of, but I do feel like there are probably better performers in the 10-20k price range (especially when considering used/demo units, which I definitely will).

I've seen these mentioned here and there, but have never heard them. It looks like they are made to order as well? I'm nervous about spending big $ on made to order speakers like that or Daedalus without getting to hear them first. Would likely be difficult to move them without taking a big loss if they weren't for me, too.
