Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp?

If I had the room size and budget I’d go for the Mofi.  See Erin’s review in an earlier post.  He bought a pair and he’s heard more than most of us.  Agree with the need to listen in your room and return for little or no cost.  Your room has a huge impact on how the speakers will sound followed by the equipment in your system.  Enjoy your speaker journey.   

plenty of good speakers out there, but MOFI is a got busted and sued and lost: they conned conned their most loyal buyers on some digitally sourced records they asserted were 100% analog.

to whitewash the scandal they came up with another sourcepoint speakers, made in china and sold at made in usa prices. 

MOFI suckes.  
not worth givin em a dime.

if u get em get em used. 

I spent a lot of time with both the 501 and briefly auditioned the 501SP.

Long story short; the 501 sounded terrible. Put over 1000 hours on them with no improvement. I had several friends with critical listening skills over and that session lasted about 15 seconds. Seriously.

I had a shorter audition with the 501SP. Not much better.

It's interesting that the previous US importer eventually dropped the 300 and 500 line and only sold the 700 and F1 series.

It cracks me up how Upscale Audio, the Tannoy importer at the time, trashed the Fyne line every chance they could. They then dropped Tannoy, picked up Fyne and now the opposite; greatest speakers ever. Sheesh.

I only heard the MoFis and I was underwhelmed. Maybe you can add a third and fourth option to compare?

I think I’ll need more options, lol. For me this would be an endgame speaker. I have a chance to get a lightly used pair (501sp) for almost half price but too many not great reviews. Yes, I should listen to them in person (and will when I can) but you’d think a 5k speaker basically knocks it out of the park! And this if for both the Mofi 888 and Fyne 501sp: polarizing speakers it would seem.
