Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them?

The 502s were at the Florida Audio Expo... former Tannoy guys...$2500... they sounded really good. 

Listened to the 302 connected to a primaluna integrated, sounded really sweet.

I’m trying to not have preconceived notions of what I might hear in the 502SP. Just seems to be an interesting alternative to the 702. Now that I have thought about it, the sales rep stated that the only differences in the 502SP and the 702 were: 
1) the smaller 502 cabinets and
2) the 702 crossover used in the 502SP is not cryogenically treated as they are in the 702.

All else is the same including drivers.

That’s entirely encouraging...and does speak to their entire line I would think. Looks like you may be leaning toward those 502sp’s? :)

Hadn’t considered the trademark dual-concentric Tannoy driver design present in the higher levels...good point. I don’t know if I could justify the 502’s floorstanders from a budgetary standpoint. Too many things that must be done to our old house! Also, they are likely a bit much for my space. However the 500 standmount speakers look to be substantial enough in design and response for me to consider for my small area, even if I do prefer floorstanders.  

I had never even heard of Fyne Audio until this weekend. I can tell you the sound of the 702 was very captivating from the start. I truly thought they would sell in the $15,000-$20,000 range. For under $10,000 I Haven’t heard anything better (new anyway).

I was told by the sales rep that there is also a F502SP that uses the 502 cabinet (a bit smaller than the 702) but with the 702 drivers and crossover. This one I believe is in the $5000 range. That one I would be very interested in hearing. All of these speakers are easily driven which is great for me because I’m a tube amp fan.

Fyne looks like the new, maybe better Tannoy - so a lot of us Tannoy fans are curious and excited about them. Though I can't help you with the sound of Fyne speakers as I've not personally heard them yet, the buzz around them continues to grow, and reports on their sound quality (including people familiar with the Tannoy sound) is checking off all the right boxes. 

However, with us Tannoy enthusiasts it's all about the magic of dual-concentric drivers. Most of us won't give any other models the time of day. The Fyne 300 series doesn't have a dual-concentric; you have to go 500 series for these to appear. So I'd strongly suggest you look more towards the 500 series, even if it takes longer to save for. 

Ranjan,

Not at all, and thank you for responding! I really appreciate it. I would guess safe to ascertain that the 302’s might follow suit in that high-quality and performance for the price observation you’ve made.

Very curious about your findings when you take your equipment and test those at Suncoast Audio.

Although well below the category of those fine amps you’ve mentioned...if you have the time and curiosity, I’d love to get your impressions of the F302’s while you’re there...

But you’ve already given me a great deal to go on, and I thank you 🙏🏼

Sorry to respond to an older discussion but thought I would mention that I heard 2 sets of Fyne speakers at the Florida Audio Expo over the past weekend. Heard the 702 with Pass amp and the 502 with Bryston. The 702 room was exceptional, by far the best under $10,000 speakers at the show. The 502 were a great value for under $3000. Price wise both were very impressive. I will be dragging my amp down to Suncoast Audio in Sarasota in the near future for a demo
