Fancy some high-end speakers that wed cutting edge tech with modern styling? Fyne Audio’s brand-new F700 SP speakers might be the really floorstanders for you. They provide a lot of the very same functions as the company’s flagship F1-8S and F1-10S, however they do it with broader visual appeal: the previously mentioned speakers are beautiful things, however their distinct style isn’t for everyone.
There are 2 brand-new designs to pick from here: the F702SP (the SP represents “unique production”) and the F703SP. Both designs take the tech of the F1 series and the appearances of the F700 series to develop something that looks quite terrific and will no doubt sound mind-blowing.
F1 scale construct for a more economical cost
The F1 series are what online marketers would call “reassuringly costly”: the F1-10S speakers are presently ₤ 27,999.98 per set (which is around $38,000 or AU$ 57,800). The brand-new speakers are still high-end, however their recommended market price are more economical: you can anticipate to pay ₤ 14,999 for a set of the F703SP; the F702SP speakers can be found in at ₤ 11,999 (so around $15,200 or AU$ 23,100 for the more wallet-friendly set).
The cost might be lower, however there’s still some major tech inside these speakers. The F703SP has the exact same IsoFlare point-source chauffeurs as the F1-10S with the very same neodymium HD magnet system and 3″ titanium dome. The magnet moistens voice coil inductance losses to decrease distortion and provide a more even frequency reaction together with enhanced high frequency efficiency.
The F7-2SP is somewhat various, taking the chauffeur from the F1-8S and teaming it with a various HF waveguide that’s particularly created to increase its efficiency with this particular cabinet.
Both designs have brand-new crossovers with upgraded circuit topography, and they have actually acquired numerous elements from the F1 series including their ClarityCap state-of-the-art capacitors, Neotech PC-OCC electrical wiring and WBT Nextgen 0703 terminals. The hand-built and soldered crossovers are then deep cryogenically dealt with in Fyne’s really own cryochamber in Glasgow, which provides the very same type of extremely low temperature levels that I am presently getting in my Glasgow flat. That cryo-freezing is developed to unwind tensions in products and parts, and is obviously especially efficient on solder joints and cable televisions to enhance signal openness.
The most apparent distinction in between the brand-new SP designs and the existing 700 series– without listening to them, a minimum of– is the brand-new plinths, which are heavyweight F1 grade machined aluminium. They’re not simply there for program: they’re part of the speakers’ BassTrax porting system, which has a down-firing LF port in the cabinet shooting straight onto a Tractrix profile cone in order to provide 360-degree radiation for the bass frequencies. The plinths are adjustable from above thanks to their M12 threaded assistance cones.
The F702SP and F703SP will be readily available in 3 basic surfaces, Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss Walnut and Piano Gloss White. There’s likewise a brand-new colour choice for the SPs just, which Fyne calls satin natural walnut. The brand-new designs are offered now– and like newly revealed competitors such as the Focal Aria Evo Xthey might well be a few of the best stereo speakers launched in 2024.
