Fyne Audio F702SP Floorstanding Speaker

The F702SP is the Special Production upgrade of Fyne Audio's F702 floorstander — a UK-built 2.5-way loudspeaker sharing the same cabinet architecture as the F702 but built around a driver derived from the F1-8 flagship model, a fully upgraded crossover with Deep Cryogenic Treatment, Claritycap capacitors, Neotech PC-OCC internal wiring, gold-plated WBT Nextgen 0703 terminals, and a heavyweight aluminium platform plinth with M12 threaded support cones. Sensitivity is 92dB and the frequency response extends from 28Hz to 34kHz. It is a floorstander built to a component and construction standard well in excess of what the price suggests.

The 28Hz bass extension — versus 30Hz in the standard F702 — is partly a consequence of the SP crossover changes and the mechanical isolation that the aluminium platform plinth provides. The difference is audible.

The F700SP — Special Production Series

The Special Production concept distils some of the very best components and engineering from across Fyne Audio's high-end series into more affordable loudspeaker designs. Designed and tuned by Technical Director Dr Paul Mills, and hand-built at Fyne's UK factory, the F700SP series combines the cabinet architecture of the F700 range with drivers derived from the F1 series, Deep Cryogenic Treatment on the crossover, and premium-grade components throughout the signal path.

The F702SP is the floor-standing expression of that philosophy at the F702 level. It is available in Natural Walnut as well as three piano gloss options — the Natural Walnut finish is exclusive to SP models and is not available on the standard F702.

IsoFlare Driver Technology

The IsoFlare driver combines bass/midrange cone and high-frequency compression tweeter on a shared axis — the tweeter fires from the centre of the bass/midrange driver — so both drivers radiate from the same point in space. Point-source geometry gives consistent time alignment across the listening area, with off-axis coherence that a physically separated driver arrangement cannot match.

In the F702SP, the IsoFlare uses a 200mm multi-fibre bass/midrange cone with FyneFlute roll surround, paired with a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter and ferrite magnet system. The driver is derived from the unit used in the F1-8 — same fundamental geometry, developed through Fyne Audio's F1 engineering programme. Below the IsoFlare, a dedicated 200mm multi-fibre bass driver with FyneFlute surround handles the lowest frequencies in the 2.5-way configuration.

BassTrax, Twin-Cavity Loading, and Plinth

The downfiring port connects to a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser integrated into the plinth. The Tractrix profile smooths the transition between port output and room. Twin-cavity loading within the cabinet gives the bass section additional acoustic control.

The heavyweight aluminium platform plinth with M12 threaded support cones is an SP-specific feature. It provides mechanical isolation between the cabinet and the floor, reducing the transmission of vibration through the supporting structure — which affects bass clarity and imaging precision at low frequencies. The F702SP's 28Hz extension is partly attributable to this arrangement alongside the SP crossover.

Crossover and Connections

The crossover divides at 250Hz and 1.8kHz — a 2.5-way configuration with a bi-wired passive low-loss design. Where the standard F702 uses Cryo-Lite crossover treatment, the F702SP applies Deep Cryogenic Treatment — a more intensive cryogenic process applied directly to the crossover components. The crossover is built with Claritycap capacitors and Neotech PC-OCC internal wiring, and the connection panel uses gold-plated WBT Nextgen 0703 terminals throughout.

Technical Specifications

Who Is It For?

The F702SP suits a listener who has identified the F702 floorstander as the right size and form for their room and wants the most capable version of it — F1-derived driver engineering, Deep Cryogenic Treatment, WBT terminals, and the bass clarity that the aluminium plinth contributes. At 37.5kg each, it is a substantial speaker, and the aluminium platform means it presents a different visual character as well as a different acoustic one compared to the standard F702.

For those who prefer a standmount form factor, the F701SP uses the same F1-8 derived driver in the F701 cabinet. Those who want the next step up in the SP range should consider the F703SP, which moves to a 250mm IsoFlare derived from the F1-10 with a 75mm titanium dome tweeter and an F1-grade aluminium plinth. The F704SP sits at the very top of the SP range, and the Fyne Audio SuperTrax super tweeter is a natural complement to any F702SP system for those seeking extended HF performance.
