Fyne Audio F500SP

LOUDSPEAKER

In my April 2020 review of Fyne Audio’s inexpensive F301 stand-mount loudspeakers,1 I wrote, “The Fyne F301s impressed with their exceptional rendering of soundstage width and depth, reasonably wide dynamic range, extended low end (for their size), and exuberant, I-can’t-stop spinning-records presentation. The Fynes presented a finely layered, spatially convincing soundstage with images that were solid, if small.”
Upon receiving Editor Jim Austin’s assignment to review the Fyne F301’s big brother, the F500SP, an upgraded version of the company’s F500 model, I wondered if listening would reveal a house sound. Fyne’s bookshelf speakers share a similar look, and similar parts and design. But, while the F301s cost just $425/pair and the base-model F500s, $849/pair, the F500SP will set you back $1995/pair in gloss black or white, $2295/pair in walnut. The F500SP’s dedicated FS6 stands add $995/pair to the price.
Founded in 2017, Fyne Audio is the brainchild of several former Tannoy employees, including Dr. Paul Mills, the company’s technical director, who was formerly the engineering director at Tannoy; and Max Maud, Fyne’s sales and marketing director, who formerly served as Tannoy’s sales manager. “SP” designates Fyne’s “Special Production” speakers, which are made at Fyne’s Glasgow factory by the company’s “Special Projects” team, in contrast to the regular F300 and F500 lines, which are manufactured at Fyne Audio’s Asia facility. The SP line adds features found in the more expensive 700 line to the 300 and 500 speakers.

Hi-fi near and far
As the Spin Doctor, I tend to lead an analog life. I'm not just talking about my preferred ways of listening to music, but also my approach to other everyday technology.

HiFi Rose RA280
It's been said before, but the essential truth remains as shiny as a new 2A3 tube: A well-made, good-sounding integrated amplifier is a sonic marvel, a triumph of audio engineering. Sound quality is just the beginning.

Doing it for themselves—and for us
Women have undeniably become the most dynamic and vital creative force in music today. Without their good energies and ideas, music, which in the digital age has become more background than art, would be much less interesting and inspiring.

Half a century in hi-fi
Not many hi-fi dealerships can say they've survived half a century of history. Natural Sound, which is based in Framingham, Massachusetts, about 20 miles west of Boston, is one that can.

The skating force phenomenon
At the beginning of last month's As We See It, I wrote that I've lately been focused on \"analog things.\" I proceeded to write about refurbishing and modding my old McIntosh tuner. That's \"analog thing\" #1.
