Fyne Audio has unveiled its most ambitious loudspeaker series to date, marrying timeless classic speaker aesthetic with cutting-edge audio engineering. From the drawing board of loudspeaker industry veteran of 40+ years, Dr Paul Mills, the Fyne Audio Vintage Series uses the very latest in acoustic design technologies, precision components, current materials and contemporary cabinet construction, styled and finished to exude the hand-built, bespoke furniture elegance of loudspeakers from ‘back in the day’. Back in the day never sounded so good!

Previewed for the first time at the Munich High-End Show, the Vintage range will feature seven models from launch in September/October 2022, with an approximate UK price range between £3,500 and £35,000 per pair. Based on the latest iterations of Fyne’s IsoFlare point source driver, the Vintage range will be split into two distinct styles; Vintage and Vintage Classic.

The Vintage Series encapsulates Dr Mills’ ‘no compromise’ execution of loudspeaker design, resulting in a trio of premium models that deliver outstanding musical performance and stunning visual design. All three incorporate Fyne’s flagship IsoFlare drive units in 10in (250mm), 12in (300mm) and an all-new 15in (380mm) iterations. These true point-source drive units mate a 75mm titanium dome compression tweeter driven by a neodymium magnet system to a stiff multifibre LF cone, itself terminated with Fyne’s unique FyneFlute surround. The Vintage crossovers use the latest high-spec components, hand built onto a custom board and Deep Cryogenically Treated to further improve signal integrity.

The bespoke, hand-built and hand finished cabinets are constructed from sustainable birch plywood, crafted into large twin-cavity enclosures mathematically curved to reduce internal standing waves that could cause colouration and improve mechanical performance. The lower cavity is ported using Fyne’s BassTrax porting system, with LF energy firing downwards onto a tractrix diffuser cone to give even 360degress LF output.

Vintage cabinets will be wrapped in the finest Walnut veneers with Burr Walnut Inlays and detailed with gold anodised metal trim. The front-mounted analogue Presence control dial has been engineered to deliver subtle adjustment to the sound and a premium feel in use. A further analogue dial for HF Energy is mounted on the rear panel. The result is a truly Vintage sense of luxury, style and refinement.
