James14 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Any views on Fyne Audio F501's or any of their range? I realise they aren't available in Australia yet but understand they aren't far away (Em Audio), and they are in New Zealand. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub Sonic Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I’ve not heard of them before, but it looks like they have some interesting and well thought out products at reasonable prices. I’m particularly fond of dual concentric drivers, so it will be interesting to see how the company goes. https://www.fyneaudio.com/product/f501/ https://www.fyneaudio.com/ Cheers, SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needlerunner Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 They seem to 5 stars at What HiFi, if that counts for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenda Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I think some ex engineers from tannoy started fyne audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koputai Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Yes, the engineers are ex Tannoy. I've heard, and had a play with a number of their 500 and 700 models during trials about 18 months ago. I was seriously impressed by them, one of the best brands at their price point in terms of both sound and finish, actually awesome value at the price they were indicating at the time. Sorry, I didn't take notes on individual models. Cheers, Jason. Edited June 27, 2019 by koputai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Watch this brand. It's good, very good. I've heard it Munich twice and Hong Kong once. The entry level range was available first and I was asked by the MD to sit down and take a listen. When finished, he asked me what I thought the price was. Needless to say, I was many thousands of dollars off! Good job I'm not responsible for pricing them! I heard some higher end ones (not familiar with the model numbers) next and they just kept impressing. Crappy hotel room environments so I'm looking forward to hearing them again soon. Oh and speaking of crappy hotel rooms - they'll be at this year's show for all to hear in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those and the Deli Orbaron 5s. Excellent reviews and a very reasonable price. Alas, at the time neither were available in Australia. Must be good Karma because l ended up with some PMCs. And then because of these speakers, l had to up scale everything else in my setup. Its been a very enjoyable 6 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John0001 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 F501 looks very interesting, 90dB sensitivity so might work well with lower powered tubes.. Wonder how tight the bottom end is on these for a medium-ish room.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene.cho Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, just got myself a pair of 502s. First impression is the superb build quality for the price. Kudos for something made in China. hooked them up to my musical fidelity A3.5. They sound quite different from my existing B&W 683s. the 502s is more subtle, balanced and defined while the 683 now sounds more "rendered" with brighter high and deeper bass. That's just 3 hours of listening though. haven't tried bi-wired yet. Edited May 15, 2020 by Eugene.cho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryO Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) My better half and I had an opportunity to listen to the 704’s last week and they were very impressive to both hear and look at, the Fyne’s are very well made. At the same time we listened to the same music on some Tannoy’s and to be frank we actually preferred the Fyne’s, especially given they are, from memory, about a third of the price. Until seeing and hearing them they weren’t even on our radar. These are the smaller 703’s next to the Tannoy’s, we didn’t get to hear the 703’s.
