Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP?

You may find this fact interesting. Jim Smith of Get Better Sound fame sold his Tannoy Canterbury speakers with $10,000 upgraded Duelund crossovers for the Fyne 703s. He enjoys the Fyne’s as much and mentioned perhaps even more than his $30,000 Canterbury speakers.

I own the Fyne F704s and they are remarkable. I have heard great things about the 502SP from owners. Do try and listen for yourself.

Dr. Paul Mills is Fyne Audio’s lead designer/engineer and came over from Tannoy. He was Tannoy’s design and engineering lead for 3 decades! The Fyne speakers have some great new design features and I think deliver the goods sonically. Great value.

The Circle Labs A200 is a wonderful amp for the higher end Fyne models. Great amp on my F704s.  The 704s are 96db efficient 8 ohm speakers.  Do the 704s need 100 watts? No, they can be driven nicely with 30-50 SS or tube watts.  The Circle Labs A200 possesses a tonal purity that mates up very well with the Fyne 704s.

Dr. Paul Mills is the lead designer/director of engineering at Fyne and played the same role for Tannoy for many, many years….upwards of 35 years for Tannoy! He certainly has many designs in his arsenal and has no problem at all designing many models based on his knowledge and extensive experience. Those facts speak loudly and Fyne is a mighty fine company making mighty fine speakers.
