Compact in form but uncompromising in ambition, the S-2 pairs a Kevlar-coned bass\/midrange driver with Quad's purpose-built ribbon tweeter, delivering a coherence and resolution that sets a new standard at its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRibbon Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ribbon tweeter developed for the S Series is thoroughly modern in construction. Built with a sandwich design that makes it robust enough to handle high-powered amplifiers without distortion or fatigue, the ribbon is fully immersed in a powerful magnetic field — allowing it to serve simultaneously as both voice coil and sound radiator. The result is a tweeter of extraordinary speed and low mass, capable of resolving the finest high-frequency detail with an effortless realism that conventional dome designs cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKevlar Bass\/Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bass\/midrange driver uses a Kevlar cone — a material chosen for its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, which minimises unwanted resonance and keeps the driver pistonic across its operating range. The interplay between this driver and the ribbon tweeter is seamless, producing a soundstage of genuine depth and precision imaging that rewards careful system matching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuad Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuad's heritage as the designer of the legendary electrostatic loudspeaker is not incidental here. The S-2 inherits the electrostatic ideal — accuracy above all else — and applies it to a conventional dynamic driver format that works with a far wider range of amplifiers and room sizes. Peter Corneau's design brings decades of loudspeaker engineering experience to bear, and the S-2 is the beneficiary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S-2 is the loudspeaker for the listener who demands genuine resolution and tonal accuracy from a compact standmount — without compromise on dynamics or detail. It suits medium-sized rooms and pairs exceptionally well with quality partnering electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuying from Martins Hi-Fi\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968.

It’s the result of decades of accumulated in-house knowledge and the application of cutting-edge simulation and analysis tools. 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.

It is a product that reflects Rega's priorities as a manufacturer: handmade drivers, an unconventional cabinet material chosen for acoustic rather than cosmetic reasons, and crossover components wound in-house.

The MX-125 bass-mid unit uses a four-layer voice coil — more layers than the standard two — which increases the magnetic force factor and improves sensitivity. The ZRR high-frequency unit is Rega's own design, produced in-house. The crossover components are wound at the factory rather than sourced from a supplier's catalogue. For a speaker at this price, that level of in-house manufacture is unusual and reflects an engineering approach that prioritises performance over cost reduction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhere the Kyte Sits in the Rega Range\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe Kyte is the entry loudspeaker in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/collections\/rega\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eRega range\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, designed to complete the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/rega-system-one\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eRega System One\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e or partner the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/rega-io\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/rega-brio-mk7\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eBrio MK7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e at the entry and mid levels of the amplifier range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/rega-aya\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eRega Aya\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is the step up — a full floorstander with a GRC cement cabinet, three drivers in a 2.5-way band-pass configuration, and 10 years of development behind it.

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. The in-house wound crossover allows Rega's engineers to specify and control the component quality directly — the crossover point, the slopes, and the component tolerances are all set to match the specific behaviour of the Kyte's drivers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAcross the frequency range, the Kyte is tonally honest and rhythmically direct — a speaker that invites long listening rather than short demonstrations.

It measures 325 × 188 × 232mm (H × W × D) with the rear foot fitted and weighs 3.73kg each — light enough to handle easily and place precisely on a stand.

It is a two-way standmount built around a 150mm IsoFlare point-source driver and a downfiring port with Fyne's BassTrax Tractrix diffuser. Sensitivity is 90dB and the frequency response extends from 42Hz to 34kHz. At £1,799 per pair, it sits in a section of the market where the quality of the driver engineering matters enormously, and on both counts the F500SP has a serious answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe F500 SP — Special Production Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept distils some of the very best components and engineering from across Fyne Audio's high-end series into more affordable loudspeaker designs that set new benchmarks for performance at their price. Designed and tuned by Technical Director Dr Paul Mills, and hand-built at Fyne's UK factory, the F500 SP Series brings much of the driver, crossover, and bass tuning expertise from the F700 and F1 Series into the more compact and simpler F500 Series cabinet design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 the four standard finish options.\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 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 is Fyne Audio's alternative to a standard rubber roll surround — the geometry reduces cone resonances at the driver termination, which affects the clarity of the upper bass and lower midrange. The tweeter is a 25mm magnesium dome compression driver with a neodymium magnet system. The bass\/midrange motor system uses a twin-magnet arrangement.\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 90-degree angle at the expanding wavefront as bass energy leaves the port, which reduces reflections and smooths the transition between the port output and the 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 — bass integration is more consistent across a range of stand heights and room positions.\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.

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.

It’s the result of decades of accumulated in-house knowledge and the application of cutting-edge simulation and analysis tools. 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 is not simply the standard 705 S3 with a cosmetic upgrade. The Signature programme means revised components, refined engineering, and measurable improvements to the drive unit motor system and crossover — changes that exist because B\u0026amp;W's engineers found a way to make it better, not because the calendar demanded a new SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTweeter-on-Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 705 S3 Signature uses B\u0026amp;W's Tweeter-on-Top configuration, mounting the 25mm decoupled carbon dome high-frequency unit in a separate pod above the main cabinet. The logic is straightforward: a tweeter mounted on a separate structure cannot receive vibration from the cabinet or the bass\/midrange driver. What that means in practice is that high-frequency detail is retrieved without colouration from cabinet resonance — the tweeter is doing its job in isolation, as intended. The carbon dome itself is chosen for its stiffness-to-mass ratio, which keeps the tweeter operating within its designed frequency range without the breakup distortion that affects softer dome materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eContinuum Mid-Bass Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 165mm bass\/midrange driver uses B\u0026amp;W's proprietary Continuum cone material — a woven composite that B\u0026amp;W developed as the successor to Kevlar. Continuum is designed to suppress the cone resonances that create a characteristic colouration in the upper midrange, the frequency region where the human voice sits and where listeners are most sensitive to inaccuracy. This driver handles both the midrange and bass frequencies in the 705 S3 Signature's two-way configuration, loaded in a rear-ported vented-box enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSignature Upgrades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinction between the 705 S3 and the 705 S3 Signature lies in a series of targeted refinements applied during the Signature programme. The mid-bass motor system has been upgraded — a change that affects the precision of cone control across the driver's operating range. The crossover capacitors have been improved, which matters because capacitor quality directly influences timing and transient accuracy. The speaker terminals have been revised, and the tweeter grille mesh has been made more open, reducing diffraction in front of the tweeter. Each of these changes was developed as part of the 800 Series Signature project and has been applied here. The result is a stand-mount that reflects the most current thinking in B\u0026amp;W's engineering programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 705 S3 Signature is available in Midnight Blue Metallic and Datuk Gloss — two finishes developed specifically for the Signature range that distinguish it visually from the standard 700 Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 705 S3 Signature is for the listener who has decided on stand-mount geometry — whether through room constraints or a preference for the imaging characteristics of a compact two-way — and wants the best that B\u0026amp;W's 700 Series engineering can deliver. It pairs naturally with amplification in the £2,000–£5,000 range; driving it with something underqualified is a waste of what the Signature programme has achieved.

The S1 is the entry point to Quad's S Series loudspeaker range — a range designed to partner Quad's own electronics with the same precision and musical intelligence that has defined Quad's engineering philosophy since Peter Walker founded the company in 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRibbon Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe defining technology of the Quad S1 is its ribbon tweeter — a transducer of extraordinary lightness, speed and resolution that replaces the conventional dome tweeter found in the vast majority of loudspeakers at this price point with a design of fundamentally superior performance. The ribbon tweeter's diaphragm is a single corrugated aluminium foil suspended between the poles of a powerful magnet array — a moving mass so low that the ribbon responds to the finest transient detail in the musical signal with a speed and accuracy that no conventional dome tweeter can approach. The result is a high-frequency presentation of exceptional openness, air and three-dimensional imaging — a top end that resolves the finest spatial and textural detail from high-resolution recordings with a naturalness and lack of grain that immediately distinguishes the S1 from every conventional two-way standmount in its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKevlar Bass\/Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bass\/midrange driver of the Quad S1 employs a woven Kevlar cone — a material whose combination of stiffness, lightness and internal damping makes it ideally suited to the exacting demands of a loudspeaker designed for accuracy rather than flattery. Kevlar's high specific stiffness suppresses the cone breakup modes that colour the midrange reproduction of conventional paper or polypropylene cones, ensuring that voices, instruments and the complex harmonic textures of acoustic music are reproduced with the purity and lack of colouration that Quad's engineering philosophy demands.

Built around a True Ribbon high-frequency unit of extraordinary refinement and a purpose-engineered Reveal™ bass\/midrange driver of equally uncompromising performance, the Revela 1 delivers a listening experience that transforms the standard of what a standmount loudspeaker can achieve — recovering details from recordings that lesser designs leave permanently buried, and presenting the full emotional and spatial complexity of music with a clarity and naturalness that is, quite simply, without parallel at its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrue Ribbon High-Frequency Unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe True Ribbon tweeter at the heart of the Revela 1 is the product of over four years of dedicated research by Peter Comeau — a transducer of extraordinary lightness, speed and resolution that delivers a high-frequency performance of genuinely transcendent quality. The True Ribbon's diaphragm is a single corrugated conductor suspended in a powerful magnetic field — a moving mass so vanishingly low that the ribbon responds to the most demanding transient detail in the musical signal with an immediacy and accuracy that no conventional dome tweeter, however well engineered, can approach. The result is a high-frequency presentation of exceptional openness, air, delicacy and three-dimensional imaging — a top end that resolves the finest spatial and tonal detail from every recording with a smoothness and hear-through transparency that redefines what is possible from a loudspeaker at the Revela 1's price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReveal™ Bass\/Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Reveal™ bass\/midrange driver paired with the True Ribbon tweeter is the product of an equally rigorous development programme — a 6.5-inch driver whose advanced fibre composition diaphragm is purpose-engineered for seamless integration with the True Ribbon's extraordinary resolution and speed. The Reveal™ diaphragm combines exceptional rigidity with outstanding self-damping properties — a combination that suppresses the cone breakup modes and colouration that afflict conventional driver materials, ensuring that voices, instruments and the complex harmonic textures of acoustic music are reproduced with purity and accuracy across the full midrange bandwidth. A newly developed custom rubber surround provides greater excursion than conventional designs, while a new high-power motor system delivers bass performance of extraordinary power, depth, speed and articulation — a bass presentation that is at once authoritative and precisely controlled, with none of the overhang or boom that lesser designs mistake for low-frequency extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePhase-Compensated Acoustic Butterworth Crossover\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniting the True Ribbon tweeter and Reveal™ bass\/midrange driver is a phase-compensated Acoustic Butterworth crossover — the product of not only Computer-Aided Design but hundreds of hours of critical listening tests using every type and flavour of music. The crossover ensures that the two drivers integrate with absolute seamlessness across the crossover frequency, producing a coherent and phase-accurate soundstage of genuine width, depth and precision imaging — a performance that honours the full resolution of both drive units and presents the complete spatial and tonal picture of every recording with an integrity that is the defining characteristic of the Revela 1's musical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Engineering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Revela 1's cabinet is a furniture-quality piece of craftsmanship that is as technically accomplished as it is visually striking. Available in a polished real-wood veneer with seamless polished-paint finish or an all-black gloss paint finish, the Revela 1's cabinet is hand-finished to a standard that far exceeds anything comparable in its class — a precision-fitted baffle seamlessly joined with a polished finish for a presentation of the highest order. Internally, a purpose-engineered bracing structure is connected to the cabinet panels in a manner that dissipates unwanted vibrations and resonances with extraordinary effectiveness, maintaining structural rigidity under the most demanding musical conditions and ensuring that the cabinet contributes nothing of its own to the musical signal. The port tube is precisely positioned with the optimum diameter and flaring to eliminate longitudinal resonances entirely, allowing the low and midrange frequencies to perform with a free-flowing purity and complete absence of unintended boominess or colouration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Revela 1 is the ideal partner for Quad's own amplification.

At £2,500 per pair, the 119 is not a starter speaker in any pejorative sense. It is a precisely engineered compact loudspeaker designed from the outset to work correctly as a passive speaker today and to be transformed by the introduction of Exakt technology later — without replacing the cabinet, without starting again, and without any of the compromises that conventional passive loudspeakers accept as permanent. The 119 is a speaker with a future built into its architecture from the first day of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe passive crossover fitted to the 119 in standard operation is not a permanent feature of the signal path. It is a bypass-ready circuit — present when Exakt is not, and cleanly stepped aside when it is. When an Exakt module is introduced, filtering moves to the digital domain inside the Linn network player, time alignment is applied, and Space Optimisation is brought to bear on the 119's interaction with the room. The speaker that was already good becomes something that no passive speaker at any price can replicate — because no passive speaker, however excellent, can receive a signal that has been digitally aligned, filtered, and room-corrected before it reaches the drive units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrive Units — A 160mm Bass Driver and a Sonomex Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 119 uses a 160mm Nextel-coated paper-diaphragm bass driver in a rear-ported 9-litre cabinet, and a 19.55mm soft Sonomex dome tweeter. The Nextel-coated paper diaphragm is a material choice that prioritises controlled, consistent behaviour over the extended frequency range the driver must cover — paper provides the mass and damping characteristics that a bass driver requires, and the Nextel coating controls the surface to ensure that energy is absorbed rather than stored and returned as colouration. The Sonomex dome tweeter is a soft dome material specifically selected for its combination of high-frequency extension and low stored energy — reproducing the upper frequencies of the recorded signal with the resolution and freedom from metallic resonance that a hard dome introduces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear port is tuned to work correctly within the 9-litre cabinet volume — compact enough for a bookshelf position or a dedicated stand, sufficient in volume for the 160mm driver to load correctly in a typical room. Bass extension is appropriate to the cabinet's dimensions: the 119 does not attempt to produce bass that its physics cannot support, and it does not introduce the port colouration that an improperly tuned reflex alignment creates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pairs of binding posts allow biwiring — and are present as a consequence of the Exakt upgrade path's architecture, which introduces separate amplification channels to each driver pair when the Exakt module is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Exakt Upgrade Path — What the 119 Becomes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 119 is Exakt-ready — a term whose significance is architectural rather than merely promotional. In passive operation, the analogue crossover divides the signal between tweeter and bass driver, introducing phase shifts, insertion loss, and component colouration that no passive crossover, however well designed, entirely avoids. When an Exakt module is fitted to the 119, connected to a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/linn-selekt-new-classic-hub\"\u003eLinn Selekt DSM\u003c\/a\u003e or compatible Linn network player via Exakt Link, the passive crossover is bypassed entirely. Filtering is performed digitally inside the DSM, at full digital resolution, with no insertion loss and no phase shift. Each drive unit receives its own amplified signal, time-aligned to compensate for the physical distance between the tweeter and bass driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformation is not marginal. The removal of the passive crossover from the signal path between the DSM and the drive units is audible as a fundamental change in resolution, timing, and the coherence of the presentation across the frequency range. The 119 in Exakt operation is not a better version of the 119 in passive operation. It is a different instrument — one whose engineering fully reveals itself only when the last passive component has been removed from the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinishes and Stands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 119 is available in Walnut, Oak, Satin Black, and Satin White. Dedicated mild-steel pedestal stands are available from Linn in matching black or silver. The speaker includes threaded inserts for stand mounting — proper stand selection is a genuine performance consideration, not a cosmetic one, and is worth discussing at the point of purchase. A speaker of this engineering calibre deserves the correct mechanical coupling between cabinet and floor.\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\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-way passive bookshelf, rear-ported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.55mm soft Sonomex dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass driver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160mm Nextel-coated paper diaphragm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalogue passive — bypassable for Exakt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 pairs of binding posts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e191 × 328 × 241 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.15 kg per speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWalnut, Oak, Satin Black, Satin White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExakt compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — via Selekt DSM or Exaktbox\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\u003e20–150W\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 119 is the right choice for listeners who want a compact, properly engineered Linn loudspeaker that works immediately in a passive system — paired with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/linn-lp12-majik\"\u003eLinn LP12 Majik Turntable\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/linn-selekt-lp12\"\u003eLinn LP12 Selekt Turntable\u003c\/a\u003e as the source, or with a Majik DSM or Selekt DSM as the network player — and can be upgraded to Exakt operation without replacing the cabinet.

Those who know they intend to go Exakt should factor the Exakt module cost into the overall system budget from the outset — the 119 is designed for precisely that kind of long-term planning, and the upgrade path it offers is one of the most compelling arguments for choosing it over any passive-only alternative at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying from Martins Hi-Fi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968.

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 cheapest 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. FyneFlute is Fyne Audio's alternative to a standard rubber roll surround — the geometry reduces cone resonances at the driver termination, which affects clarity through the upper bass and lower midrange. 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.

Built around a 150mm IsoFlare point-source driver with a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter, housed in a high-rigidity MDF cabinet with extensive internal bracing, the F500S delivers the coherence, imaging stability, and off-axis consistency that define the IsoFlare concept — in a compact standmount format that suits a wide range of rooms and systems. It is available in Black Oak, Natural Walnut, and Piano Gloss Black: real wood veneer finishes that are a genuine step above the vinyl of the E Series, and a clear statement of where the S Series positions itself within the Fyne Audio range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare Point-Source Driver Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver is the defining engineering decision in every Fyne Audio loudspeaker. In the F500S, a 150mm multi-fibre cone with FyneFlute roll surround carries a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter at its centre — both drivers sharing a single axis, radiating sound from precisely the same point in space. This point-source geometry delivers consistent time alignment across the entire listening area and off-axis coherence that no physically separated driver arrangement can replicate. The magnesium dome is stiffer and lighter than titanium — the material used in the E Series — which reduces resonance in the critical presence band and contributes directly to the F500S's resolving, detailed midrange character. High-frequency extension reaches 34kHz, supported by a neodymium HF magnet and vented rear chamber behind the compression driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and the Downfiring Port System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F500S loads its downfiring port through a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser integrated 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 the cabinet's bass output and the room. The practical consequence is meaningfully better placement flexibility than a conventional rear-ported standmount of comparable size — the F500S is less sensitive to floor-boundary effects and less critical of the distance between the rear of the cabinet and the wall behind it. Bass extension of 45Hz from a cabinet at these dimensions is the direct result of this loading approach.\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. It is a precise and practical tool for adapting the F500S to different rooms and partnering equipment without recourse to external equalisation. The adjustment is immediately audible but does not alter the fundamental character of the speaker — it shifts the tonal balance rather than changing what the IsoFlare driver does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-rigidity MDF cabinet with extensive internal bracing is finished in real wood veneers — Black Oak and Natural Walnut — or Piano Gloss Black. These are a meaningful step up from the vinyl finishes of the E Series, and the real wood veneers in particular give the F500S a quality of surface finish that is unusual at this price point.

Where the F500S standmount uses a 150mm IsoFlare driver in a larger enclosure, the F5S applies the same magnesium dome compression tweeter, the same real wood veneer finish options, and the same BassTrax Tractrix downfiring port philosophy to a 320 × 180 × 260mm cabinet that will sit on a bookshelf, a desktop, or a stand in a room where the F500S would be physically too large. It is not a budget speaker that happens to share a brand name with the rest of the S Series — it is an S Series loudspeaker in a more compact format, and the engineering decisions that define it are the same ones that define every speaker Fyne Audio makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F5S sits in a clear and honest position in the range. The E Series uses titanium dome tweeters and vinyl cabinets. The F5S uses a magnesium dome tweeter and real wood veneer — the same material and finish quality as the F500S. The driver is smaller, the cabinet is smaller, and the bass extension is accordingly more modest. But the IsoFlare point-source geometry — the quality that most directly determines how a speaker images, how it behaves off-axis, and how coherently it presents complex musical information — is identical in principle to the IsoFlare driver in every speaker above it in the range.\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. The imaging stability and tonal consistency that result are the qualities that distinguish a point-source loudspeaker from a conventional two-way design, regardless of price.\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. Magnesium is stiffer and lighter than titanium, which reduces resonance in the critical presence band — a directly audible difference in the resolving character of the tweeter. The crossover hands over at 1.8kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBassTrax and the Downfiring 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, the downfiring arrangement gives the F5S better placement flexibility than a conventional rear-ported design of equivalent size — it is substantially less sensitive to the distance between the rear of the cabinet and the wall behind it, and less critical of stand height relative to the floor boundary. Bass extension reaches 45Hz from a 125mm driver in a 320 × 180 × 260mm cabinet — a figure that is a direct consequence of the BassTrax port tuning rather than driver size alone.\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. This allows the F5S to be voiced for different rooms and partnering equipment without external equalisation — a practical feature that is particularly useful in smaller rooms where early reflections can make a speaker sound brighter than it should, or in systems where the partnering amplifier has a naturally forward character in the upper midrange.\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\u003eIsoFlare driver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125mm point-source, multi-fibre cone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm magnesium dome compression driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8kHz\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 – 30kHz (−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\u003e25–100W 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\u003e320 × 180 × 260mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5kg each\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 F5S suits a listener who wants IsoFlare point-source technology with a magnesium dome tweeter in the most compact S Series footprint — for a smaller room, a desktop setup, or an installation where the F500S would be physically too large.

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 Piano Gloss range. For the buyer who needs a compact standmount but wants the engineering rigour of the SP Series — and who wants that speaker to belong in their interior with the same precision as the rest of their room — the F500SP in bespoke RAL finish is the most considered configuration available.\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. The upgraded crossover integrates the driver more precisely within the existing cabinet volume than the standard S Series crossover, and a fifth binding post grounds the driver chassis directly — reducing RF interference in the circuit, and reflecting the engineering thoroughness that characterises the SP range at every level of the specification.\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. The imaging stability and tonal consistency that result are the qualities that most directly separate the SP Series from the S Series it builds upon, and in the F500SP they are present in full — in a cabinet that occupies a genuinely compact footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP IsoFlare driver 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 in ways that are audible on complex musical material at realistic listening levels. The twin-magnet motor provides a more linear magnetic field across the driver's excursion range, reducing 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, 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 — 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 grounds the driver chassis, reducing RF interference in the circuit — a detail consistent across the SP range and one that 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 applies the full RAL Classic palette — several hundred defined colours, from understated neutrals to strongly saturated hues — to the same high-gloss cabinet finishing process as the standard Piano Gloss range.

The result is vanishingly low distortion at the top of the frequency range, where lesser tweeters compress and colour the sound. Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins mount this driver in a decoupled Tweeter-on-Top housing, isolating it from the cabinet and allowing it to operate with extraordinary precision — a design first seen on the flagship 800 D4 and now the cornerstone of the entire 800 Series Diamond range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContinuum Cone Midrange\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 805 D4 uses Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins' Continuum woven cone — a proprietary material developed over years of research to eliminate the colouration and breakup modes that afflict conventional paper and Kevlar drivers.

It sits at the entry point of QUAD's Elegan series — a range built around a single, quietly stated conviction: that a loudspeaker should remain enjoyable over hours of listening, not just impress in the first five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Long Listening Sessions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany loudspeakers are engineered to create immediate excitement — boosted bass, exaggerated detail, a forward presentation that catches attention on a brief audition. QUAD took a different approach with the Elegan. Every design decision was made in service of a presentation that remains engaging over time. Vocals retain natural warmth and texture. Instruments occupy believable space. Dynamics are handled with restraint rather than exaggeration, and detail emerges naturally from the recording rather than being pushed forward artificially. The result is a loudspeaker that encourages longer listening sessions rather than shorter, more cautious ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWoven Kevlar Cone Drivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 1 uses woven Kevlar cone drivers, chosen for their combination of low mass, rigidity and controlled self-damping. Low mass means the driver responds quickly to musical transients — the leading edge of a note is reproduced accurately rather than smeared. Rigidity prevents the cone from flexing and introducing its own colouration into the sound. Self-damping controls how the cone behaves when it stops moving, reducing overhang and keeping the midrange honest. Together, these properties produce tonal neutrality across the frequencies where the ear is most sensitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecision Waveguide and Fabric Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA precision waveguide surrounds the fabric dome tweeter, controlling the dispersion of high frequencies throughout the room. Rather than allowing the tweeter to radiate unevenly — producing a narrow sweet spot or aggressive off-axis behaviour — the waveguide shapes the sound field so that performance remains consistent wherever you sit. The fabric dome itself is a considered choice: softer than a metal dome, it avoids the kind of high-frequency resonance that can make extended listening uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLinkwitz-Riley Crossover Networks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover network is engineered to Linkwitz-Riley alignment — a design approach that ensures the individual drive units sum correctly at the crossover frequency, behaving as a single coherent acoustic system rather than two separate drivers operating in the same cabinet. The result is smooth integration between the bass\/midrange driver and the tweeter, without the phase anomalies or frequency response irregularities that a less carefully designed crossover can introduce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQUAD Airflow™ Bass Reflex System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 1 uses QUAD's Airflow™ bass reflex system, which reduces port turbulence to deliver deeper, cleaner bass with greater control. Bass reflex designs can suffer from chuffing and colouration when the port is poorly designed — particularly at higher listening levels. QUAD's Airflow™ approach addresses this directly, allowing the compact cabinet to produce bass performance that would be unexpected from its dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is internally braced to minimise resonance. An unbraced cabinet vibrates sympathetically with the drivers, adding its own character to the sound — something that becomes more apparent on sustained bass notes and complex orchestral passages. The Elegan 1 is available in all-Matte Black or real Walnut veneer, both finished to a standard that sits comfortably in contemporary interiors. The styling draws quiet references to QUAD's heritage without leaning on nostalgia — understated, and visually compatible with QUAD's current electronics range including the QUAD 3 integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 1 is the right choice for listeners who want genuine audiophile performance in a compact form — those building a first serious stereo system, those with smaller rooms or apartments, or those who have simply grown tired of loudspeakers that impress briefly and fatigue quickly. It is not a loudspeaker for those who want room-filling scale or deep bass extension in a large space — for that, the Elegan 2 floorstander is the more appropriate choice. But for focused, coherent, long-term listening in a well-matched system, the Elegan 1 makes a strong case for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying from Martins Hi-Fi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMartins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968.
