Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold SP….beat dealer?

sunshdw - I reached out to Upscale. Nothing "special" as far as a price. Like I stated, these are as much as small car so I’m hoping for a bit more than a 10% off deal. Where I’m located, the closest Fyne dealer is in Chicago and I’m NOT a fan, so I’m not even bothering. 

I would consider a used pair if I could find. 

On high end, low volume items dealers have to protect their margins unless there is a manufacturer supported promotion and protect the luxury item price point. Many don’t deal over the phone - they assume they are being shopped.

10% off translates to around 25% of the dealers gross profit, leaving a lot less to cover marketing, commissions, rent, general overhead etc.

You might do better if you buy more than one item or pay in cold hard cash. 

Take a look at the Devore o/96 too. The Fyne’s do look really nice. Never heard them but I did own the 501SP and found them a little laid back for my preferences, but very different speaker. 

I’m looking at Fynes also, and they don’t seem to hold their value. Seems if I were to buy at full msrp plus tax - I would lose more than half if I didn’t like them and wanted to sell in a year or two. Seems worse than other brands.

I talked to Upscale as well, and they offered 0% off of msrp. And also said they never had any demo sales.
