Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver

"The F5xx series voicing completely baffles me."

I am curious if your experience with Fyne F5xx series includes the F5xx SP series or you referring exclusively to voicing of F5xx (non SP versions) ?

It seems like F501SP and F502SP has all the elements from the F7xx series and a potential to be very good speakers for less $$.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with Fyne. It is a brand that I’ve been eyeing for a while, really like the looks and specs, but can’t afford more than F502SP.

I'm referring to the non-sp 5xx series only. I have not heard the 501SP or 502SP. A friend who has heard one of the SP models thought it sounded exactly as you describe; a less expensive 7xx series speaker. He was impressed.

@hilde45  "Daedalus is very nice --- hard to audition and, of course, quite huge. "

The stereo muse is much smaller than the other Daedalus  speakers and for @mesch  they can be had second hand for "reasonable pricing". They just do not come up very often . I have the stereo muse in a 12 x 14 x 8 room. 

there are some risks as @jjss49 wisely states.

these are worth a look IMO - I did listen to them ,

Take a ride down to Santa Fe. There is a local speaker builder here. Viking Acoustics. David makes high efficiency speakers. My Tube Master's are 98db. They work great with my Allnic 300b amps. I've also had a pair of his Berlin's. Check out his website. You are also welcome to listen to my Tube Master's. I live in Santa Fe as well.
