Looks awesome John. I’ll text you my F1 settings and you can try them and see if you like them.

Finally! Congrats, hope you really enjoy them.

Check out the veneer to see if they used consecutive slices. They should look almost identical.

Play lots of Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten to speed up breakin

Hi John,
Congratulations on the new speakers. I just know you’re going to love them. I’ve had mine just over a year. I’ve got them dialed-in in my small second bedroom of a high rise condo. If you have any questions I’d be happy to talk.
Out of curiosity, where are you in NC? Prior to retiring to DC three years ago, we were in Raleigh for 10 years, Cary for 10 years before that and Charlotte for 5 years before that. Also had a condo in Wilmington.

Brian they did used consecutive slices, Dylan thats awesome you have the F1-10, I was also looking at the Boulder 866 before purchasing the Gryphon. I'm in Charlotte but temporarily staying at the Jersey shore doing guardianship duties. Mike I'll take those F1 setting when you get a chance.Thank you to everyone else.

Mike, can you explain in layman's terms exactly what those knobs do please?

The upper ‘Energy’ control alters the level of signal fed to the tweeter, from the crossover point upwards, giving control over how bright the presentation sounds.

The lower ‘Presence’ control only affects the lower treble region of 2.5 - 5.0kHz, and influences articulation and vocal clarity and having an effect on image depth.

Thanks Mike, I could use them on the SPs

Dylan · Feb 18, 2021

Hi John,
I played around with the presence and high frequency controls for a bit, and in the end left them at flat. Same with my previous Tannoy Canterbury’s. I’m curious what you do.
Do you plan to use aftermarket footers? I used Isoacoustics Gaia’s on my previous speakers (TAD ME1’s) with a positive effect. I want to use them on the Fyne’s, especially to reduce floor transmission in a high rise condo, but I don’t know if they will fit in the Fyne’s unique base, what size screws/threads to use and if they will improve the sound.
Enjoy!

Each size comes with multiple threaded studs depending on the speaker. I used the G3s an 1/4-20 standard threads on my Fynes. I think the G1s fit yours.

Here’s the settings we like for them in our 17 x 25 room. Presence is not turned down all the way, the picture doesn’t quite show it, but it’s a couple of notches up.

Well, I ordered the Gaia I’s from Mike a couple of months ago to use on the F1’s. They don’t use any of the screws that come in their box. They sent M-16 screw’s for the F1which is the right circumference but the threads on Gaia M16 aren’t the same as the threads on the F1’s. Right now Gaia looking into it. I hope they figure it out because those footers are real nice.

I haven’t played with the F1 dials yet just letting the speaker break in.

Dylan it looks like we like the same speaker companies.

Dylan · Feb 18, 2021

John, if you do figure out the Gaia’s and are pleased with the improvements, I’d appreciate if you’d let me know.
Our common speaker history is quite the coincidence. Although I have to say I am most happy with the Fyne’s, especially in my small (13’ x 14’) room. They don’t have the majesty of the Canterbury’s but are more transparent, neutral and go lower, while retaining the coherence and tone. I’ve never heard big TAD’s. The ME1’s sounded good, but lacked the bottom end, and I realized they took up as much room as a floorstander.
