Fyne Audio Drops New Speakers, Dares Your Wallet to Flinch
Fyne Audio is debuting two new speaker ranges that promise to obliterate both your sonic expectations and possibly your lease agreement.
This week at the Munich High End Show — the Davos of audiophile one-upmanship — Fyne Audio has parked itself squarely in Room E116 to debut not one, but two new speaker ranges that promise to obliterate both your sonic expectations and possibly your lease agreement.
The F704SP: Because Subtlety Is for Cowards
Let’s start with the headliner: the F704SP, short for “Special Production”, though they might’ve just called it “Please Don’t Google the Price.” This behemoth is the “flagship” of Fyne’s F700SP line, drawing inspiration from their even more ridiculous F1 Series — presumably named for the G-force it exerts on your face when the bass hits.
It sports not one, but two 300mm drivers, because apparently the first one didn’t cause enough seismic damage. And it’s all wrapped in curved European birch ply, because straight wood is for plebes. Add in a cryogenically treated crossover network (because nothing improves audio fidelity like freezing it to death), and premium Neotech wiring, and you’ve got yourself a speaker system with more emotional range than most Hollywood reboots.
Also featured: BassTrax™ Tractrix Diffuser System, which we assume is either a bass-boosting breakthrough or the name of an EDM supergroup.
The F500S Series: For Peasants With Taste
For those who can’t justify remortgaging their home for a speaker, Fyne also introduced the F500S Series, a “refresh” of its best-selling F500 line. It's being touted as “accessible,” which in audio show terms means it’ll only bankrupt you a little.
These speakers feature a vented neodymium HF magnet, which sounds important and probably is, and a magnesium diaphragm that offers "exceptional treble clarity"—aka, the ability to hear every nasal nuance of the singer's ex-girlfriend’s breakup voicemail.
There's also a new waveguide, for better “off-axis response,” which we assume is marketing speak for “you can finally sit on the couch off-center without compromising the soundstage.” How luxurious.
Oh, and let’s not forget: real wood veneers and piano gloss finishes, because nothing says “I have questionable financial priorities” like a speaker that looks like a Steinway.
Live Demo: Come Get Sonically Wowed in Person
If you happen to be in Munich between May 15-18, you too can experience the F704SP and F502S in person — assuming your eardrums and moral compass are equally desensitized. Just head over to Room E116 in Atrium 4.1, where the decibel levels are high and the sales reps are higher.
Whether you're an audiophile chasing the holy grail of soundstage depth or just someone who wants to hear the strings cry in a Billie Eilish track, Fyne Audio has something unnecessarily powerful for you.
