Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP?

I was planning on picking up a pair of Tannoy Turnberry speakers in the near future, but remembered about Fyne audio. While I'd love to get some of the 700 series speakers, they are just a bit beyond my budget. However, I am curious how the 502SP would stack up vs the Turnberry. Does anyone have any insight? 

They are roughly the same price, with the Turnberry's being slightly more.

I would compare the 2 companies and see if there are red flags.

I don’t understand how Fyne could come up with more models than Tannoy in the 5 years of their existence.

brand since #of hifi models
Tannoy 1926 22
Fyne 2017 25

Partly it’s their packaging, and stying, they have more "skins" for similar designs.

Still, I would be wary of Fyne, facts don’t lie

Sure, Tannoy may have more executive with bigger mortgages baked into the price of the speaker, but as they say 9 women can't give birth to a child in one month. Something with Fyne does not add up....

@mmcgill829 thanks, I didn't know most of it. I knew Fyne was founded by ex Tannoy engineers but I don't know how much of Tannoy's IP they can take and reuse It seems unfair to Tannoy. But I am impartial and I know zero about the legal aspects.

Looking at pricing, they seem to be a bit steep for my budget,  so that's a wash, similar pricing, but what matters is what's inside
