I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just taken delivery of my demonstration pair of Vintage 5 loudspeakers from Fyne Audio. I had the opportunity to play with a pair a few weeks ago and I was more than impressed with their abilities.
The Vintage Series is Fyne paying homage to classic speakers from days gone by, they are wonderfully retro in terms of their visuals, but sonically they right out of the 21st century, designed using Fyne’s technical expertise – Dr Paul Mills has really surpassed himself with these.
As with other Fyne models the name of the speaker pays reference to the drive unit size, the Vintage 5 utilises a 5 inch IsoFlare drive unit, with their FyneFlute roll surround, state-of-the art BassTrax downwards-firing port system and hand-built cryogenically treated crossovers.
The curved cabinets are elegant with really smart walnut veneers and burr walnut inlays, Fyne have certainly left no stone unturned in their design, I always thought they looked really nice seeing them in images, but you don’t appreciate the attention to detail and the quality of the finish until you are sitting in front of a pair.
