Fyne Audio F500 74,900
What Hi-Fi|August 2020
It has been a couple of years since we were first introduced to Fyne Audio, but we remain impressed by this British speaker manufacturer’s output. And the F500 standmounters do not let the family down.
Fyne Audio F500 74,900

In many ways, these standmounters look familiar. In effect, they are truncated versions of the first Fyne Audio speakers we tested, the Award-winning F501 towers. Fyne Audio has relegated the second woofer from those speakers to fit these bookshelf dimensions, but it retains the driver technology it integrated so well for the other.

That technology is the company's IsoFlare configuration, where the tweeter sits in the pool of the mid/bass driver – a 25mm titanium dome compression tweeter inside a 15cm multi-fibre paper cone – sharing a common centre to aid directivity and stereo imaging.

Hidden underneath

A quick glance around the back of the F500s raises the question of whether Fyne Audio has included a reflex port. In fact, it is located in the speakers’ undercarriage, thanks to that same BassTrax technology as is present in the F501s – though this is a revised version for standmounters.

A down-firing port, with a cone-shaped BassTrax Tractix diffuser, it aims for 360-degree dispersion of the soundwaves, as well as increasing versatility when it comes to placement in regards to a back wall.
