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.

Thanks @mmcgill829 I came pretty close to ordering the Coherents a few years ago. I typically don't shy away from buying and selling, but the design, concepts and materials tweaking made me hesitate. I also struggled to imagine deep tuneful bass with that cabinet, although the bracing is creative. 

Thanks for tip, I'd love to get to the Montreal show some time. 

@bjesien I think you'll be surprised by the bass if you hear these. They aren't *weak* in the bass range, that's for sure. Probably the only thing I could see people complaining about if they listen to a lot of really bass-heavy tracks is that the speakers can skew a little more toward mids balance-wise. Some of it will just come down to your other gear, music choice, room acoustics, etc etc etc. Like any speakers, really.

I've always liked the dual-concentric/coaxial style speakers, so the Coherents were a nice cousin to the Tannoys I had for the longest time. The somewhat good thing about preferring low power SET amps is that it narrows speaker choices quite a bit!

I haven't seen Frank and Coherent speakers on Montreal audio show this year.

I think they weren't present this year, or I missed something.
