Fyne Audio 703 report
I finally have them dialed-in after a number of break-in interruptions.
Not the 703s' fault. It was solely related to my schedule issues.
Several folks have come by to listen, & the response has been excellent!
If the 703s are this good, I can promise Tannoy owners that the F1 series - when set-up properly - should easily outperform even the top Tannoys - Westminster & Canterbury - while taking up less space.
Heck, even the 703s are pretty capable of competing with the Canterburys. As a long-time Canterbury owner, I do have some experience with them...
When I say outperform - for me, it means that they should deliver a higher degree of musical involvement.
FWIW, I write this as a long-time Tannoy owner & supporter...Small Green Computer; gigaFoil 4 Ethernet w/ Keces PS-3; Sonore ultraRendu; MBP (3) - stripped down for music only; Shunyata Alpha & Sigma USBs; AudioQuest Diamond USB 5M: ISO REGEN w/short Curious USB links; Berkeley Alpha USB; AQ Diamond AES - 3M; AQ Diamond Ethernet - 1.5M; Schiit Yggdrasil - fully updated; PecanPi USB dac; Ayre Codex dac - updated; Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amp; Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE-2 preamp, Quicksilver Mono 120 amps w/Tung-Sol KT150s; Wyred 4 Sound STP-750E Mk II amp w/Kimber TCX wiring & WBT binding posts; Quicksilver Mid Mono amps w/Gold Lion KT77s, Joseph Audio Perspective 2 Graphenes; Fyne Audio 703s; Symposium Svelte Plus & Ultra Platforms; REL S-812 subwoofers; Duelund DCA12GA speaker cables; AV Room Service EVPs, Stein Music Harmonizers, Duelund DCA16GA & 20GA ICs; Shunyata Denali 6000S/V2; Tripp Lite PCs; Wyred 4 Sound power cords; AudioDharma cable cooker; dedicated custom room; various GIK & ASC room treatments; etc.

Re: Fyne Audio 703 report
I heard these in person at Jim’s place and they sound amazing. They have that “effortless” sound that I have always associated with Tannoy’s with a much smaller form factor. They play well above the cost of admission. If I were in the market, Fyne’s would be well up the list ....

Well Jim,
Having owned the Canterbury SE also, I’m stoked about the arrival of my F1-10, smaller footprint, modern look and more focus sounding. Brian hang in there, I know waiting sucks.Gryphon Essence stereo amp and preamp/dac Hurricane power cords

Re: Fyne Audio 703 report
Distributor is saying any day now for them to receive, then they have to ship from Texas to PA once they are there. So, still not sure Originally Posted by Randy Myers

Too bad they did not drop ship them to you instead of having to go to Texas first. Maybe they will wave as they fly over your house Originally Posted by Shadowfax

They should be on a container ship in the Houston Harbor I would hope. Just so happy they are coming from Scotland Originally Posted by Randy Myers

also worth noting: as i think caelin noted elsewhere, i found that the everest did not play well with any other tweaks. none. in every instance they compromised the everest's capabilities.
