The Fyne Audio F703SP: Where Scottish Engineering Meets Musical Truth

Ex-Demonstration Model Available - £10,995 ~~£17,995~~

There's something rather exceptional sitting in our demonstration room at Martins Hi-Fi. A pair of Fyne Audio F703SP floorstanding loudspeakers, finished in deep piano gloss walnut, that represent one of those rare opportunities where flagship performance meets genuine value. At £7,000 below their original retail price, these ex-demonstration speakers bring technology from Fyne's £40,000+ F1 Series within reach of the discerning audiophile.

Understanding the F703SP's Significance

After five decades in the hi-fi business, we've witnessed countless speaker designs come and go. What sets the F703SP apart isn't merely its impressive specifications or Scottish heritage—it's Fyne Audio's unwavering commitment to solving one of audio reproduction's fundamental challenges: creating a truly coherent point source that maintains phase accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum.

The Glasgow-based manufacturer has achieved something remarkable here. By incorporating their IsoFlare technology—originally developed at no-holds-barred expense for their F1 Series—into the more accessible 700 Series, they've created speakers that challenge preconceptions about what's possible at this price point.

The Engineering Philosophy Behind IsoFlare

This isn't just another coaxial design. The F703SP's 250mm IsoFlare driver represents a complete reimagining of how speakers should radiate sound into your listening space. By mounting a 75mm titanium dome tweeter at the acoustic centre of the mid/bass cone, Fyne has created a true point source that delivers the kind of time-aligned coherence typically associated with single-driver designs, but with the extension and dynamics of a multi-way system.

The massive neodymium magnet system that powers this driver delivers 94dB sensitivity—a figure that tells only part of the story. What it means in your listening room is effortless dynamics, the ability to pair with a wider range of amplification, and most importantly, a sense of musical ease that allows you to listen for hours without fatigue.

The Ex-Demonstration Opportunity

This particular pair has been carefully maintained in our acoustically treated demonstration facilities, used sparingly for supervised listening sessions with clients seeking to understand what modern speaker design can achieve. They've been professionally serviced and will receive another comprehensive check before delivery, ensuring they arrive at your home in pristine condition.

Some customers initially hesitate at ex-demonstration products, but seasoned audiophiles know these represent the sweet spot of high-end audio acquisition—fully run-in, meticulously maintained, and available at a significant saving from retail.

Living with the F703SP

Setting up speakers of this calibre deserves proper attention. The F703SP's BassTrax downward-firing port system offers unusual flexibility in room placement—you'll find they're less fussy about boundary proximity than conventional rear-ported designs. The machined aluminium plinth, complete with adjustable floor cones, ensures perfect stability and allows precise rake angle adjustment to optimise time alignment for your listening position.

What strikes you first is the sheer coherence of the presentation. Piano notes decay with startling naturalness, string sections maintain their spatial relationships even during complex passages, and vocals emerge from a genuinely quiet background with presence that's both intimate and expansive. The cryogenically treated crossover, featuring ClarityCap capacitors and Neotech PC-OCC wiring, ensures signal purity that allows every nuance of your favourite recordings to shine through.

The Martins Hi-Fi Difference

Our approach has always been holistic. Beyond the initial purchase, we offer professional installation (available separately), system optimisation consultations, and ongoing support through follow-up calls and annual check-ins. We understand that speakers of this calibre are just one component in your musical journey, and we're here to ensure they integrate seamlessly with your existing system—or to help you build around them.

Our Trade-In Programme

We maintain a refreshingly straightforward trade-in programme that properly values your current speakers, regardless of brand or age. If you're considering the F703SP as an upgrade path, we'd be delighted to discuss how your existing speakers could contribute to this investment. Many of our long-standing customers have found this approach makes flagship performance more accessible than they'd imagined.

Why Choose Martins Hi-Fi

Five decades of experience means we've developed relationships with manufacturers like Fyne Audio that go beyond simple retail transactions. We understand not just what these speakers can do, but how to extract their maximum performance in real-world listening environments. Our demonstration facilities allow you to experience the F703SP in properly treated acoustic spaces, while our expertise ensures you'll achieve similar results at home.

The Sound of Scotland

There's something special about speakers designed and built in Scotland. Perhaps it's the methodical craftsmanship, the attention to acoustic engineering, or simply the passion for music that runs deep in Scottish culture. The F703SP embodies all of this, from the precision-machined components to the furniture-grade cabinet work that wouldn't look out of place in a Highland manor house.

The 24Hz to 26kHz frequency response tells you these speakers can reproduce everything from organ pedal notes to the highest harmonics, but it's how they do it that matters. The integration between drivers is seamless, creating a soundstage that extends well beyond the speaker boundaries whilst maintaining pinpoint imaging that places each instrument precisely in space.
