The developments are many and all play a part in The Reference’s pristine performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a starting point, KEF engineers re-engineered the tweeter gap damper to maximise the space at the back of the tweeter for the new metamaterial absorber. Optimising the cavity shape and strategically placing two rings of porous material effectively tame the resonances and imperfections, thus greatly improving detail and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new ultra-low distortion midrange motor design uses a copper ring embedded into the motor gap to minimise inductance and variation of inductance with coil position. This lowers the midrange THD and reduces thermal compression, leading to improved efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Uni-Q driver array is fully decoupled to prevent unwanted vibrations from muddying the sound. A new flexible decoupling chassis is designed to reduce vibration and remove coloration. It ensures that any vibration generated by the mid and high-frequency motor system is not transmitted to the loudspeaker cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003enew driver surround is designed to allow longer excursion without causing diffraction and extending the frequency range of the mid-frequency.

Smart engineering and meticulous attention to design detail enables the bass to blend seamlessly with the immaculate midrange and treble response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reference’s bass driver also benefits from a massive, vented magnet assembly, a large aluminium voice coil and an exceptionally light and stiff alloy cone.

Sensitivity is 89dB, the frequency response extends from 40Hz to 34kHz, and the recommended amplifier power range of 30–150W RMS gives it genuine flexibility across a wide range of partnering electronics. The F700 range sits above the F500 SP series and draws directly on engineering developed for the F1 flagship. The F700 standmount is the smallest speaker in that range — but built to the same standard of construction, crossover treatment, and finish quality as every speaker above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver is the defining engineering decision in every Fyne Audio loudspeaker. Bass\/midrange cone and high-frequency compression tweeter share a common axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the bass\/midrange driver — so both drivers radiate sound from the same point in space. Consistent time alignment across the listening area and substantially better off-axis coherence than a conventional arrangement follow directly from this point-source geometry. For a standmount, the practical result is a speaker that sounds coherent well away from the sweet spot and delivers precise imaging that larger multi-driver designs often struggle to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F700, the IsoFlare uses a 150mm multi-fibre cone with a FyneFlute roll surround. FyneFlute's geometry reduces cone resonances at the driver termination, improving clarity through the upper bass and lower midrange. The tweeter is a 25mm magnesium dome compression driver with a neodymium magnet system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and Port System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F700 uses a downfiring port that connects to a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser built into the speaker's base. The Tractrix profile maintains a consistent expanding wavefront as bass energy exits the port, reducing reflections back into the cabinet and smoothing the transition into the room. The practical advantage is a standmount that is less sensitive to floor-boundary effects and easier to place than a conventional rear-ported design — reaching 40Hz from a cabinet of this size is a direct consequence of this loading approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrossover and Connections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover divides at 1.7kHz — 2nd order low-pass on the bass\/midrange, 1st order high-pass on the tweeter.

Frequency response extends from 46Hz to 28kHz, sensitivity is 90dB, and the recommended amplifier power range of 25–150W makes it compatible with a broad range of partnering electronics. It takes the same core technology found in the larger \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/fyne-audio-f1-8\"\u003eF1-8\u003c\/a\u003e and distils it into a form that suits smaller listening rooms without compromising the engineering principles that define the range.

Both high and low frequencies originate from the same physical location, creating a true point source. The result is precise time alignment across the frequency range and isotropic radiation — sound spreading evenly in all directions, rather than the high-frequency beaming typical of a conventional separated-driver arrangement. Stereo imaging is precise and stable across a wide listening area, and off-axis performance is substantially better than a conventional standmount of comparable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax Tractrix Diffuser\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machined aluminium plinth beneath the cabinet does more than provide a stable, elegant base. It houses Fyne Audio's BassTrax Tractrix diffuser, which channels low-frequency energy from the downfiring port downward and outward in a controlled pattern. This reduces rear-wall bass build-up and gives the F1-5 a low-frequency performance that belies its compact dimensions. Placement flexibility is genuinely improved as a result — the speaker is less sensitive to room position than many standmounts of comparable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFyneFlute Surround\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass\/midrange driver is fitted with Fyne Audio's FyneFlute rubber surround, engineered to minimise resonance and colouration at the point where the cone meets the basket.

Most loudspeaker enclosures use MDF — a material that is easy to machine and finish, but which is not particularly inert. Phenolic resin is significantly stiffer and less resonant; it does not store and release energy in the way that MDF does. The ceramic cross-bracing inside the cabinet adds further rigidity, reducing the internal standing waves and panel vibrations that colour a loudspeaker's output. A quieter cabinet produces a quieter background and a cleaner midband.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe bass reflex design, rear ported, extends the low-frequency output below what the driver could produce in a sealed box of the same volume. The MX-125's four-layer voice coil drives the cone with greater control and precision than a two-layer equivalent; the result is better transient response and tighter bass definition — qualities that contribute directly to the timing and rhythmic engagement that Rega builds into its entire range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe ZRR tweeter handles the upper octaves with Rega's characteristic approach: clean and uncoloured, without the brightness that some soft-dome designs introduce.

Sensitivity is 90dB, frequency response extends from 42Hz to 34kHz, and the recommended amplifier power range of 30–120W makes it practical with a broad range of amplification. The Special Production concept brings driver, crossover, and bass tuning expertise from the F700 and F1 series into the more compact F500 cabinet format, tuned by Technical Director Dr Paul Mills and hand-built at Fyne's Scottish factory. At £1,799.99 per pair, it sits in a section of the market where driver engineering matters enormously, and on that count the F500SP has a serious answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe F500 SP — Special Production Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Production series exists to bring engineering from Fyne Audio's high-end ranges into a more accessible format without compromising the driver technology at the heart of each design. The F500SP uses the same IsoFlare driver geometry, FyneFlute surround, magnesium dome compression tweeter, BassTrax port system, and Cryo-Lite crossover treatment found in the more expensive SP, F700, and F1 series models. The cabinet is finished to a standard that reflects its position in the range: anodised aluminium plinth, diamond-cut aluminium driver trim, and a deep gloss walnut veneer as one of four standard finish options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver combines the bass\/midrange cone and the high-frequency compression tweeter on a shared axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the bass\/midrange driver — so both drivers radiate sound from the same point in space. This point-source behaviour means the time relationship between bass, mid, and treble is consistent across the listening area, and off-axis performance is substantially better than a conventional two-driver arrangement where the tweeter sits physically above the bass\/midrange unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F500SP, the IsoFlare driver uses a 150mm multi-fibre cone with a FyneFlute roll surround. FyneFlute's geometry reduces cone resonances at the driver termination, improving clarity through the upper bass and lower midrange. The tweeter is a 25mm magnesium dome compression driver with a neodymium magnet system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and Port System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F500SP uses a downfiring port that connects to a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser built into the plinth. The Tractrix profile maintains a consistent expanding wavefront as bass energy leaves the port, reducing reflections and smoothing the transition between port output and room. The practical result is a speaker that is less sensitive to floor-boundary effects and easier to place than a conventional rear-ported design — reaching 42Hz from a cabinet of this size is a direct consequence of this loading approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrossover and Connections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover divides at 1.7kHz: 2nd order low-pass on the bass\/midrange, 1st order high-pass on the tweeter. It is a bi-wire passive design with Cryo-Lite treatment. The connection panel is a five-terminal design — four for bi-wiring, plus a fifth terminal to earth the driver chassis, eliminating RF interference conducted through the amplifier or cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFyne Audio make the FS6 stand specifically for the F500SP.

The 706 S3 makes no meaningful concession in driver quality relative to the 705 S3 above it — both use the same carbon dome tweeter and Continuum FST bass\/midrange driver — and the differences between the two models are principally those of cabinet size, bass extension, and the Tweeter-on-Top arrangement that distinguishes the 705 S3. For those whose budget or room points towards the 706 S3, it represents outstanding value and a genuine entry point into 700 Series S3 performance. Martins Hi-Fi is the second oldest Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins dealer in the world, and the 706 S3 is a loudspeaker we are pleased to recommend without reservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCarbon Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 706 S3 uses Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins' carbon dome tweeter — the same diaphragm material as the 705 S3 and the larger 700 Series S3 floorstanders. Carbon fibre's stiffness-to-mass ratio delivers high-frequency resolution and low distortion that a conventional aluminium or fabric dome cannot approach, and its presence in the 706 S3 ensures that the loudspeaker's treble performance is wholly consistent with the rest of the 700 Series S3 range. In the 706 S3 the tweeter is integrated into the top of the main cabinet rather than mounted in the Tweeter-on-Top configuration — a distinction that reflects the 706 S3's position in the range without compromising the quality of the high-frequency transducer itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eContinuum FST Bass\/Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 706 S3's bass\/midrange driver employs Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins' Continuum cone in a Fixed Suspension Transducer mounting — the same driver technology as the 705 S3, eliminating the conventional foam surround and the resonance colouration it introduces across the midrange frequencies. The Continuum cone suppresses the characteristic break-up modes of synthetic cone materials precisely where the human ear is most sensitive, and Biomimetic Suspension refines the driver's behaviour at low signal levels — recovering the micro-dynamic detail and low-level resolution that define the 700 Series S3 character. The result is a bass\/midrange performance that is transparent, uncoloured, and entirely consistent with the quality of the carbon dome tweeter it partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCabinet and Bass Loading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 706 S3's enclosure is a reflex-loaded design tuned for its specific driver and internal volume — delivering the bass extension that a compact stand-mount of its size can reasonably achieve, with the control and articulation that the Continuum FST driver demands.

The F700SP series — spanning five models from £3,499 to £19,999 per pair — applies the company's most advanced driver and cabinet technologies to a range designed for serious domestic listening. If you are weighing up which model to invest in, the question is not simply which is best. It is which is right for your room, your system, and the scale at which you want to listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Every SP Model Shares\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore considering what separates the models, it is worth understanding what unites them. At the heart of every SP speaker is Fyne Audio's proprietary IsoFlare point-source driver — a coaxial design that fires both bass and high-frequency information from the same point in space. Because both drivers share the same origin, the sound that reaches your ears is time-aligned in a way that conventional multi-driver arrangements cannot replicate. The result is coherence, precision imaging, and a natural tonal balance that defines the SP series character regardless of which model you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe F700SP — £3,499 per pair: The Reference Standmount\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/fyne-audio-f700\"\u003eFyne Audio F700SP\u003c\/a\u003e is the entry point to the SP series and a standmount of genuine reference calibre. Compact in footprint but technically serious, it delivers the IsoFlare driver's characteristic coherence and imaging in a format suited to smaller rooms and those who prioritise midrange transparency and detail retrieval above outright scale. At this price, you are buying into the full SP series engineering philosophy — the step up from here is one of scale and dynamic authority, not character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe F701SP — £6,499 per pair: The Larger Standmount\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fyne Audio F701SP develops the standmount proposition with a larger cabinet and driver, bringing meaningfully greater bass extension and dynamic headroom. For listeners who want a standmount format but find the F700SP working against a larger room, the F701SP closes that gap considerably. The £3,000 step up buys a speaker that can fill more space naturally, without the need for a subwoofer, while retaining the precision and imaging that makes the SP series so engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe F702SP — £11,999 per pair: Into Floorstanding Territory\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fyne Audio F702SP marks the transition to floorstanding design, and with it comes a significant increase in bass authority and dynamic scale. The larger cabinet volume allows the F702SP to pressurise a room in a way that standmounts — however capable — cannot fully replicate. For listeners making their first serious investment in a floorstanding speaker, or those moving up from a standmount system that has begun to feel constrained, the F702SP represents a genuine step change. The £5,500 increase over the F701SP buys not just more bass, but a more complete and self-sufficient speaker that demands less of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe F703SP — £14,999 per pair: Serious Room, Serious Scale\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fyne Audio F703SP builds on the F702SP with a larger, more refined cabinet and enhanced bass loading — a speaker designed for listeners with substantial rooms who want a floorstander that can fill the space with authority and control in equal measure. At £3,000 more than the F702SP, the F703SP delivers greater dynamic headroom and bass composure at volume, without ever losing the coherence and transparency that defines the SP range. It is the model for those who listen seriously and loudly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe F704SP — £19,999 per pair: The Statement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/fyne-audio-f704sp\"\u003eFyne Audio F704SP\u003c\/a\u003e is the fullest expression of everything the SP series stands for. At £5,000 more than the F703SP, it is an uncompromising floorstanding design that sets a standard few speakers at any price can challenge. For listeners with large rooms, reference-level amplification, and a commitment to hearing precisely what is on a recording, the F704SP is the model that leaves nothing on the table.

At £2,500 per pair, it sits at the entry point of Linn's speaker range, but it is designed with the same engineering discipline that runs through the 150 and the 360: a crossover that can be bypassed entirely when Exakt is introduced, and cabinet construction that does not create problems for the electronics to solve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a speaker that makes sense both on its own terms and as part of a considered Linn system build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign and Drive Units\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 119 uses a 160 mm Nextel-coated paper-diaphragm bass driver and a 19.55 mm soft Sonomex dome tweeter. The bass cabinet is rear-ported, with a 9-litre cabinet volume — compact enough for a bookshelf or stand, but with adequate volume for the bass driver to work properly in a typical room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analogue passive crossover handles filtering in standard operation, but its design allows it to be bypassed cleanly when an Exakt module is introduced. At that point, filtering is handled digitally inside the Linn network player, with time alignment and Space Optimisation applied before the signal reaches the drive units. The passive crossover does not become an active compromise in the system — it steps aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pairs of binding posts allow biwiring or biwiring-ready connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExakt Upgrade Path\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 119 is Exakt-ready, which means it can be used as a conventional passive speaker today and upgraded to Exakt operation later without replacing the cabinet.

Time alignment, digital filtering, and Space Optimisation are all applied in the digital domain before amplification, which removes the passive crossover, its phase shifts, and the associated signal degradation from the chain.

It is a two-way standmount built around a 125mm IsoFlare driver and a downfiring BassTrax Tractrix port. Sensitivity is 87dB, frequency response extends from 55Hz to 38kHz, and power handling is 30–90W RMS. At £399.98 per pair in Black Ash vinyl, the F5E is priced as an entry-level product. It is not the full SP experience — the cabinet is vinyl rather than gloss, the tweeter is titanium rather than magnesium, and the driver is smaller. What it is, honestly, is the most affordable way to hear what IsoFlare does and to decide whether it suits you before considering the larger models in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver is the central engineering decision in every Fyne Audio loudspeaker. It places the bass\/midrange cone and the high-frequency compression tweeter on a shared axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the cone — so both drivers radiate sound from a single point in space. This point-source behaviour means the time relationship between frequencies is consistent wherever you sit, and off-axis performance is substantially better than a conventional design where the tweeter sits above the bass\/midrange unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F5E, the IsoFlare driver is a 125mm multi-fibre cone unit with a FyneFlute roll surround. The tweeter is a 19mm titanium dome compression driver. The crossover hands over at 1.8kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and Port System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F5E uses a downfiring port with a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser built into the base of the cabinet. The Tractrix profile expands at a consistent angle as bass energy leaves the port, reducing reflections and smoothing bass integration into the room. For a standmount of this size, it makes the speaker less sensitive to stand height and floor-boundary effects than a conventional rear-ported design — useful when the speaker is being used in a variety of positions or room types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrossover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover is a single-point design at 1.8kHz: 2nd order low-pass on the bass\/midrange, 1st order high-pass on the tweeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F5E works well in smaller listening rooms where a floorstander would be disproportionate. It is also a natural choice for a desktop setup — the 125mm driver and BassTrax port give a more controlled low-frequency response than most speakers in this size category, and the 87dB sensitivity means it is easy to drive from integrated amplifiers at the modest power levels typical of a smaller system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a surround speaker in a larger home cinema system, the F5E is a sensible option: the IsoFlare driver gives consistent off-axis coverage, which is exactly what surrounds need.

Frequency response extends from 45Hz to 34kHz, sensitivity is 89dB, and the recommended amplifier power range is 30–100W. Available in Black Oak, Natural Walnut, and Piano Gloss Black, it is a genuine step up from the E Series in driver specification, cabinet finish, and overall construction quality — and the magnesium dome tweeter is the same compression driver format used throughout the S and SP ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 325 × 204 × 317mm and with a 150mm IsoFlare driver, the F500S occupies the space of a compact standmount but delivers the point-source coherence that defines the Fyne Audio approach. The downfiring BassTrax Tractrix port gives it meaningfully better placement flexibility than a rear-ported standmount of comparable size — 45Hz from a cabinet of these dimensions is the result of that loading approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver combines the bass\/midrange cone and the high-frequency compression tweeter on a shared axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the bass\/midrange cone — so both drivers radiate sound from the same point in space. This point-source behaviour produces consistent time alignment across the listening area and off-axis coherence that a conventional separated-driver arrangement cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F500S, the IsoFlare driver is a 150mm multi-fibre cone unit with FyneFlute roll surround, paired with a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter and neodymium HF magnet. The neodymium magnet and vented rear chamber extend high-frequency performance to 34kHz. The magnesium diaphragm is stiffer and lighter than titanium, which reduces resonance in the critical presence band and contributes to the F500S's detailed midrange character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and Port System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe downfiring port connects to a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser built into the base of the cabinet. The Tractrix profile maintains a consistent expansion angle as bass energy leaves the port, reducing reflections and smoothing the transition between port output and room. This gives the F500S meaningfully better placement flexibility than a conventional rear-ported standmount — it is less sensitive to floor-boundary effects and less critical of the distance between the rear of the cabinet and the wall behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePresence Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rear-facing presence switch provides ±3dB adjustment between 2.5kHz and 5.0kHz — the frequency range that governs the perceived forwardness or warmth of a speaker's character. This is a practical tool for adapting the F500S to different rooms and partnering equipment without external equalisation. The adjustment is subtle rather than dramatic: ±3dB at 2.5–5kHz shifts the tonal balance in a way that is immediately audible but does not alter the fundamental character of the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is high-rigidity MDF with extensive internal bracing. The three finish options — Black Oak and Natural Walnut real wood veneers, and Piano Gloss Black — are a step up from the vinyl finishes of the E Series. The real wood veneers in particular give the F500S a quality of surface finish that is unusual at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-way, downward-firing port with BassTrax Tractrix diffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive unit complement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 × 150mm IsoFlare bass\/mid with 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.7kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2nd order low-pass \/ 1st order high-pass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem adjustments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePresence (2.5kHz – 5.0kHz) ±3dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45Hz – 34kHz (−6dB typical in room)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89dB (2.83V @ 1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30–100W RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous power handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50W RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e325 × 204 × 317mm (12.8 × 8.0 × 12.5\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-rigidity MDF with extensive internal bracing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Oak; Natural Walnut; Piano Gloss Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F500S suits a listener who wants the IsoFlare point-source experience in a compact standmount with real wood veneer finish options — either because their room demands a smaller speaker, or because they are building a system where standmounts are the preferred form.

Frequency response extends from 45Hz to 30kHz, sensitivity is 89dB, and the recommended amplifier power range is 25–100W. Available in Black Oak, Natural Walnut, and Piano Gloss Black, it is smaller than the F500S standmount — 125mm driver versus 150mm — but shares the same magnesium dome tweeter and the same S Series cabinet quality, making it the right choice where a more compact footprint is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F5S sits in an interesting position in the Fyne Audio range. It is not the entry-level E Series — the magnesium dome tweeter and real wood veneer finishes place it clearly in the S Series tier. But at 320 × 180 × 260mm, it is genuinely compact: small enough for a desktop, a bookshelf installation, or a smaller listening room where even the F500S would feel oversized. The 45Hz bass extension from a 125mm driver in a cabinet of this size is a direct result of the BassTrax Tractrix port design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver combines the bass\/midrange cone and the high-frequency compression tweeter on a shared axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the bass\/midrange cone — so both drivers radiate sound from the same point in space. This point-source behaviour produces consistent time alignment across the listening area and off-axis coherence that a conventional separated-driver arrangement cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F5S, the IsoFlare driver is a 125mm multi-fibre cone unit, paired with a 19mm magnesium dome compression tweeter. The magnesium diaphragm is stiffer and lighter than titanium, reducing resonance in the critical presence band. The crossover hands over at 1.8kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and Port System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe downfiring port connects to a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser built into the base of the cabinet. The Tractrix profile maintains a consistent expansion angle as bass energy leaves the port, reducing reflections and smoothing the transition between port output and room. For a compact standmount, this gives the F5S better placement flexibility than a conventional rear-ported design of equivalent size — it is less critical of the distance between the rear of the cabinet and the wall behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePresence Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rear-facing presence switch provides ±3dB adjustment between 2.5kHz and 5.0kHz.

In its bespoke RAL Classic colour finish, it is available only through selected Fyne Audio dealers, configured to order from the full RAL Classic palette and finished to the same high-gloss standard as the standard Piano Gloss range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the smallest loudspeaker in the SP series, the F500SP does not compromise on the engineering that defines the SP designation. The 150mm SP IsoFlare driver is shared with the F501SP floorstander — the same twin-magnet motor, the same FyneFlute roll surround, the same 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter. The BassTrax Tractrix diffuser is a direct derivation from the F700 Series rather than a scaled-down version of a larger design. For a buyer who needs a compact standmount but does not want to descend to S Series specification, the F500SP is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSP IsoFlare Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver combines the bass\/midrange cone and the high-frequency compression tweeter on a shared axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the bass\/midrange cone — so both drivers radiate sound from the same point in space. This point-source behaviour produces consistent time alignment across the listening area and off-axis coherence that a conventional separated-driver arrangement cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP IsoFlare driver in the F500SP uses a twin-magnet motor system and FyneFlute roll surround. The FyneFlute surround geometry reduces cone resonances at the driver termination — the point where the cone meets the surround — which affects transient accuracy and midrange clarity. The twin-magnet motor provides a more linear magnetic field across the driver's excursion range, which reduces distortion at the frequencies where the bass\/midrange cone is working hardest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax Tractrix Diffuser and Aluminium Sandwich Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow frequencies are channelled downward through Fyne's BassTrax Tractrix diffuser, which is built into the anodised machined aluminium plinth. The Tractrix profile maintains a consistent expansion angle as bass energy exits the port, reducing port-exit reflections and smoothing the transition between port output and room. This gives the F500SP better immunity to rear-wall boundary effects than a conventional rear-ported standmount of comparable size — the speaker is less sensitive to the distance between the rear of the cabinet and the wall behind it, which is a practical advantage in domestic installations where ideal placement is not always achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgraded Crossover and Fifth Terminal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP crossover integrates the IsoFlare driver more precisely within the existing cabinet volume than the standard S Series crossover. The fifth terminal on the bi-wire connection panel earths the driver chassis, reducing RF interference in the circuit — a detail that is consistent across the SP range and reflects Fyne Audio's engineering thoroughness at this level. The bi-wire configuration allows separate amplification of the bass and mid\/treble sections for those who want to explore that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe RAL Classic Colour Process\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRAL Classic is the internationally recognised colour standard used across architecture, product design, and industrial finishing. The F500SP bespoke finish uses the RAL Classic system — several hundred defined colours, from understated neutrals to strongly saturated hues — applied to the same high-gloss cabinet finishing process as the standard Piano Gloss range. The bespoke colour option is available exclusively to the UK market through selected dealers including Martins Hi-Fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLead times for bespoke colour finishes are longer than standard stock items.

The effect on timing and dynamic accuracy is immediate and unmistakable: the 805 D4 tracks the leading edge of notes with a precision that transforms the listening experience, delivering the PRAT and rhythmic coherence that separates truly great loudspeakers from merely excellent ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive units\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1× 25mm diamond dome tweeter, 1× 150mm Continuum cone midrange\/bass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42Hz – 35kHz (–6dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88dB spl (2.83V, 1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNominal impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 ohms (minimum 3.1 ohms)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended amplifier power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30W – 120W into 8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGloss Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEx-demonstration, excellent condition, all original accessories and packaging included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 805 D4 is the standmount of choice for listeners who demand the full resolution and dynamic authority of the 800 Series Diamond bloodline in a compact form.
