I have never heard those but from my experience with the KEF UNI-Q driver I can get a sense of what the imaging must be like which I estimate to be very good. Plus 2, 8" woofers is real nice for me. I like bigger woofers.
F502SP Floorstanding Speaker | Hi-Fi - FYNE AUDIO
Improving on the F502, the UK built SP edition features a driver configuration, crossover and aluminium plinth with trickle down technology from the F702.
www.fyneaudio.com
-200mm (8″) bass/mid driver from the F702.
-Featuring rigid multi-fibre cones and FyneFluteTM roll surrounds.
-The IsoFlare’s 25mm magnesium compression tweeter has a unique HF wave guide pole piece delivering an incredibly even, full-range frequency response and outstanding Hi-Fi musical imaging.
-The F502SP also benefits from the F700’s advanced crossover components and aluminium sandwich type plinth with BassTrax tractrix profile bass diffuser, re-engineered to precisely tune the F502SP’s more compact cabinet.
-The SP is available in high-gloss black and high gloss white as standard, or a luxurious deep gloss lacquered walnut veneer with a diamond machine cut finish on the aluminium driver chassis.
I «grew up» with a pair of Tannoys as a student, so it felt quite natural to go «back» to Fyne after some years with a pair of Dali Helicon 400. As you allude to, I perceive the imaging to be pretty sharp due to the dual concentric design. Have experimented with convolution filters from HouseCurve through Roon to defeat some room nulls, as well as slight shifting of speaker positioning. Seems like the system is pretty dialled in right now. Am dreaming of 2.1/2.2 system to really get control of bass. Could possibly use a couple of Sigberg SWs (they are situated less than an hour drive from me), with a NAD M66 to provide crossovers and DLBC. Time will show…
Nice! A sub will thump with those speakers very well...

Got this as a new computer for my living room setup:
Chuwi Larkbox X:
- Intel N100 CPU
- 12 GB RAM - not upgradeable
- 500 GB SSD
- additional 2,5" SSD/HDD slot
The PC is generally very quiet, but if placed on the desk even the quiet noise of the fan would bother me in the long run (I am very sensitive to noise). However, since it will disappear into the TV rack after everything is installed, it doesn't bother me. The performance of the CPU is roughly on par with an Intel i5-6500. For 120 Euros I think you get a good overall package.

Nothing really changed since then ^^, just the main speakers, and a second set-up just around the corner:

I'm sliding slowly into the 21st century w/some new gear here - just beginning the testing phase of integrating the minidsp flex/dirac device's tricks
- you are looking at just 3 sources(the old Sony R2R & the dmp3 are just bling here - nothing is set in stone as far as placement in my cabinets with all the vinyl, cds & other excess 20th century hardware . . . )
Sumiko Pearl > Revolver Super > Audioquest AQ2 arm > AQ Ruby wire > UTurn Pluto2 > analog rcas of the Flex
SonyES 975 SACD > coax input
Apple Airplay2 > WiiM mini > optical
Flex w/Dirac > Sub x 2 / Fosi V3 amp > Monitor Audio Studio 6s that I've just replaced the tweeters with a pair fresh from Kevro. I've read that ferro-fluid wears out after 20yrs or so & these are 25 & again sounding superb !
Peace
