Fyne Audio F703SP: A Feat of Scottish Loudspeaker Design

Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio and Max Maud of Fyne Audio talk about the founding of this company that is the master of point-source audio. Max goes into how the SP, or Special Production, versions of Fyne's speakers take the Scottish company's obsessive engineering and build to an even more rarified level.

I brought Fyne F704’s into my system about a year ago and could not be happier with the sound… and they’re a work of art to look at as well. Spectacular audio performance!

[@benjaminvdwalt6666]

Would you say they would pair well with slight warm sounding amplification? Like with tube amps etc?

[@doughaigh]

Hi@@benjaminvdwalt6666 . I use a Pathos inPol amp for power. Their technology combines the full 360° voltage amplification achieved through tubes with current amplification through a single MOSFET per channel. The result is very warm class A sound. I have no doubt that these speakers would respond well to tube amplifiers, but I have not done the listening to confirm it. Post back here when you have an answer. Best -

[@benjaminvdwalt6666]

@@doughaigh Pathos Inpol is incredible. Probably a pinnacle of amplification tech. I am considering, however, spending a bit more on the speakers than on the amp. I am interested in the 703SP with the super tweeters and the amp that I want to get is the Electrocompaniet ECI 6DXII. The amp has been praised as a sweetheart unit that reviewers really like and leans a bit to the slightly warmer sound and comes with an integrated streamer, DAC and preamp all of which are top class quality. For a warm sounding speaker, like the Boressen X2, it becomes a bit too much of a good thing apparently, but with speakers that are more neutral sounding, I think the ECI 6DXII will be a very good fit. If you are enjoying the warm class A sound from the Pathos on your F704's, then I am sure that the Electrocompaniet can also pair well with the F703SP :)

My god, that speaker is beautiful!

[@ericshutter5305]

have the F502SP and they are amazing ❤ but these are sooo interesting 😮 darn 😅

[@upscaleaudio]

We love the F502SP crazy the technology they were able to put in that speaker!

[@tweakerman]

A great British (Scottish) company, from me in the UK👍

[@pmizz7959]

Really interested in their F1-5 speakers for a smaller room. Just beautiful

[@jimbird4649]

I remember when I spoke with Brian and Kat and asked if you'd ever bring in fyne audio. It's great to see they are finally here. I just wish I had the budget

Retailer + manufacturer + honest sales pitch = best audio KZbin content around.

[@chriswindham9868]

Heard some Fyne speakers at the 2019 RMAF. Needed more time but liked the sound

[@gdwlaw5549]

Hi, i was hesitant about Fyne loudspeakers. My local reseller in Montpellier, France has ceased collaboration with Fyne and I was rather disappointed. I shall try and find another store in my region. Lovely story and I enjoyed « we needed a job »…!

[@antonyharding5360]

Very nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Good job lads ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is necessary to solve the main problem of such excellent acoustics - warming up before sale!

[@willlinner44]

Ive got the 501SP model. Excellent.

[@gabmor7779]

Is there a big dif between the f703 and f703sp? Or f704 and 704sp Cant find much about it, i can find tje f703 second hand for a fsir price

[@Novilicious]

Next video should be of this cryo lab!!

[@philipjacobsen6550]

how would this compare to the single driver 10" speakers like vintage, vintage classic and f1-10. where does it sit in the lineup if its possible to compare them like that

[@benjaminvdwalt6666]

Some people have said that Fyne Audio speakers lack in bass. I have never heard them in person, but I am wondering about this complaint. These F703SP speakers are great but I would hate to spend $20k on speakers and find them unsatisfying...

[@upscaleaudio]

As always you need to hear them for yourself, but to me they have some of the best Bass I have ever heard from speakers before. The BassTrax is crazy!

[@benjaminvdwalt6666]

@@upscaleaudio wow… sounds amazing… then I will start saving up. The 703SP is my favourite Fyne speaker, its the one I will go for 🤩

[@luciferray6560]

Please help me out. I want to buy the Best bookshelf speaker under 2000 US dollars. Klipsch 9s , sonus Faber lumina 2, q acoustics 5020, kef r3 meta , warfdale linton 85 ? We don't get arindal 1723 or 1961 in my country. Any other speaker that you would recommend under or a little over 2000 dollars ?
