Suggestion on fyne f501

[Subbiya]

Hi friends,
Recently I have been offered a good price for fyne 501 speakers, but cannot find much information about the pairing amplifier, currently I own marantz PM6007/wiim pro/concept 20 speakers, sound lean and lack bass depth. Also own q acoustics 3050i. Was not happy with towers, bass heavy and lacks clarity. Regarding fyne f501, I found good reviews from Whathifi review and absolute sound mentioned a dip in upper midrange measurement Absolute sound review and needs careful partnering. Does it sounds neutral/warm, needs brighter amp. ? I'm from Chennai and no one have it for audition. My room size 12*15 Sqft. Please provide your suggestion.

Don’t go by reviews. Listen and decide. If you already have towers changing one step next is not going to create magic and you will burn money. Take reasonable advice before you decide.

Here is a whathifi forum discussion on the question. As you can see the responses are all over the place and confusing.

What amplifier matches well with Fyne audio?

I have F502SP :) Looking for a intergrated amplifier up to a max 3k , happy to buy used. I currently have a Nad T778.... Do you think a 2 channel amplifier is worth the investment against my AV receiver? The thing is, the T778 sounds amazing with my old tannoy Precisions - unfortunately I...

Whether your current amp will sound good with the Fyne 501? I think you will get a lot of opinions but consider how many will have the same amp and speakers? That too In a room similar to yours? It’s unrealistic to expect anything other than opinions to this question. The specs of the amp and speakers in consideration show they match. The Fyne website says (for F501E)

System Type	2 ½ way, downwards firing port, with BassTraxTMTractrix diffuser.
Recommended amplifier power (Watt RMS)	30 – 150
Continuous power handling (Watt RMS)	75
Sensitivity (2.83 Volt @ 1m)	90dB
Nominal impedance	8 Ohm
Frequency response (-6dB typical in room). 36Hz - 34kHz

You mention you would like more bass. This would depend upon the listening volume, speaker placement and room acoustics. But 36Hz is plenty low for most music. Nuanced bass? Only one way to find out. Listen in your room with suitable recordings.

So, my take: If you can afford it (good deal you say) buy it and try.
Several outcomes are possible. Among them:
1. You love it and live happily ever after
2. You decide to sell the Fyne speakers as they don’t match your expectations
3. You decide to change your amp.

And so on. In any case you will have an exciting experience and enjoy the exploration and discovery for yourself. But only if you allow yourself the freedom to do this. Obviously don’t do this if you can’t afford to at this time.

Happy decision making @Subbiya!
