Cool review. If you could slow down on the names of songs a little bit that would be cool. As you mention the albums and songs I slip over to my music and listen to each one. I love reviews that turn me on to new jams. Love the channel man
Hi Phil great video & nice to see you back after your Holiday in Cornwall, I almost thought you had taken some notes down & then you produced the albums you played good choice. 👍
I heard these recently. I love the looks and wanted to take them home but I didnt like them at all 😢. They had no treble and were dull. Trust me I was expecting to purchase but they didnt cut it. Dealer was professional and used an amp above my own and a 4.5k cd player. He insisted that the speakers were burnt in. My 50 year old Imf tsl50 wiped the floor with them. If any employees of Fyne Audio are reading , please get in touch 👍👍👍
4 leak sandwich 600 speakers being driven by a sansui AU 717 amplifier works for me. Heavy round warm and smooth with a graceful roughness clean sound. Music is a personal and this is how I like it coming from my Jamaican sound system culture
Are the vintage speakers objectively better than these or are there some use cases where the vintage classic series are preferable? Leaving price out of it.
The appearance obviously divides opinion, but I really like the look of them. Still, as one of these is wider than my two current floorstanders put next to each other, I had better not hear them in case I like the sound as well!
Might be interesting to use Roy Orbison tunes to check out the vocal presentation of speakers. With the traveling wilburys you get such a variety of male voices. And with Crying you get his voice with K. D. Lang's. Then there's Johnny Cash
Like rim drive turntables there’s a reason that speaker designers moved away from wide baffle speakers, the current fashion seems to have forgotten that.
But there are also reasons to go for large loudspeakers - not least because lots of people love the sound. Horses for courses. Plenty of people like the idler drive turntables too Garrard 401s and the like.
@@richardsinger01 It’s not about the size it’s the width. Wide baffles were discredited years ago due to the problem of reflections off the baffle & surround. Some people do like the old rim drive turntables, it’s inexplicable.
Wide baffles are less of an issue when you have horns or wave guides around the tweeter. The Fyne's concentric drivers work in that way essentially. I have Klipsch Cornwalls which have huge baffles, listen to lots of classical and jazz, and cannot envisage parting with them. Also, Audio Note speakers come to mind which are some of the very best, notwithstanding conventional drivers and wide baffles. I'm sure you will be horrified to hear that I also have 2 Lenco L75 based idler drive tables in my system, alongside a well respected modern high-end-ish belt drive and there's no dramatic change in the noise floor and definition when I change between them. As with all technologies - especially in the subjective world of hi-fi - it's all about implementation.
@@yippie6862I don't know what you mean by acquired taste. Maybe acquired back in the 1970s? I think either you like it or you don't. For myself, it's a pass. I didn't like the look back in the '70s either😂
@@lsaideOK The vintage look is in if you haven't noticed. Wharfedale Linton and Dovedale. PSB Passif 50. JBL Classic Series. Klipsch. Misson 770, ect.. These products are in demand right now. The 70's are back!. You may have shag carpet soon.
@@yippie6862 I'm well aware. And I'm not buying any of those speakers. Though some are better looking than others. The JBL's are horrendous the missions don't look bad at all. But don't get me started on all those different Klipsch speakers

Brilliant review of the Speakers and LP reviews too. This could start a riot.

What Sugden amp were you using? A21SE?
I have one. A great amplifier.
The New Riders album is great. Probably their best.
The appearance obviously divides opinion, but I really like the look of them. Still, as one of these is wider than my two current floorstanders put next to each other, I had better not hear them in case I like the sound as well!
Geek out with spotting the mostly covered War of The Worlds album.
National guitar?
Theyd look so much better without the gold bits....i presume.

Haha, 82 a heat wave😂
Interesting units. They look very retro, would like to see them for real.
Very difficult to describe the sound from a speaker , nevertheless a decent attempt.
You have got a be joking dire straits is sub power for testing a speaker or system,one of the best bands ever too put music on vinyl
Apart from the eighties drum sound.

The drivers come from China. Massive cheap Tannoy copies come from there.. These speakers r Tannoy... More than not
Probably sound great , but look awful.
The retro look is an acquired taste. I personally like the look.

May be a great sound. But they look 😒
What the hell did I just listen to
It's like being on a British hifi shop and having a nice chat 👍
