Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp?

Rave reviews or not, I would be very hesitant about buying any audio component/speakers without first auditioning them.  If you're that interested in the speakers, then you'll have to take your time and somehow find a way to be able to sit down and have a long listening session with them both, wherever they may be found.  Happy listening.   

@patrickdowns    Thx for taking the time to reply! I always appreciate a well thought out and mature response. FWIW Fyne Audio especially the F1 series have top level build and parts quality. These will be near the top of my demo list at Axpona 2025.

@dayglow - Fyne has a great rep and pedigree right? Their founder is an alum of some esteemed brands, iirc. And I am of Scots descent, so I'd be interested. Represent! I hope you will post a review or thoughts. Which one do you favor in their line.

@patrickdowns     Probably the F1 8 or 701SP. If these monitors can avoid sounding small/strained or lacking body they could be an option for me over the much more expensive F1 8s. At $18k for the 8s places it in a very competitive list of loudspeakers. 

Thanks. Yeah, the lineage of the Fyne speakers is high end Tannoy but usually large 15” drivers. The 501sp is 6”! I had a pair of vintage Tannoy Arden’s that I regret selling. The Mofi’s seem all the rage but it’s like an advertising and reviewer blitz- with very little criticism. No doubt listening to them side by side would be best….
