Fyne Audio Vintage 5
Representing the ultimate fusion of classic loudspeaker aesthetics with advanced acoustic engineering.
The all-new Vintage Series is unashamedly traditional in aesthetics yet encapsulates Fyne’s Technical Director, Dr Paul Mills’, no-compromise approach to leading-edge acoustic engineering.
A timeless traditional design with technology and engineering native to the 2020s.
Each model in the three strong Series features the latest iteration of the IsoFlare driver and FyneFlute roll surround.
These commanding point source drivers combine a multi-fibre low frequency cone LF unit with a 75mm titanium dome compression tweeter driven by a powerful neodymium magnet system.
Premium electronic components, Deep Cryogenically Treated crossovers and Fyne’s ultimate implementation of the BassTrax downward-firing port system, define the acoustic performance across the Vintage models.
Dressed in gloriously retro design, each model features a bespoke, hand-built, twin cavity cabinet fabricated from the finest birch plywood, then contoured into variable radius curves to stop standing waves.
Encased in stunning, hand finished real Walnut veneer, with Burr Walnut inlays and gold anodised metalwork, the Vintage Series loudspeakers exude timeless luxury.
Each model is fitted with Fyne’s Presence Adjustment dial, with a bespoke, hand-crafted knob perfectly weighted complementing the same luxurious feel as the cabinet finishes.
The Vintage Series incorporates Fyne Audio’s BassTrax downward firing port system in its most advanced and highly tuned format to date, along with Fyne’s largest ever BassTrax implementation in the mighty Vintage Fifteen.
Designed as an integrated part of the rigid birch ply cabinets, the lower chamber LF energy is vented downwards onto a large, Tractrix profile diffuser cone that transfers the plane wave LF energy into a 360 degree spherical wavefront.
The Tractrix profile of the diffuser cone maintains a 90 degree angle at each intersection of the expanding wavefront, thus avoiding reflections and creating a smooth bass response in-room.
The result is an extended, smooth and incredibly tuneful LF response that integrates seamlessly into the room.
The clever system makes the Vintage loudspeaker much less critical of room positioning, further aiding home integration of the large cabinets.
The system was originally applied to horn loudspeakers in the 1920, brought right up to date by Fyne Audio development and patented over the last five years.
Like it’s larger siblings, this 5” compact bookshelf design celebrates the cabinet finery of traditional loudspeakers alongside the cutting-edge audio engineering of Dr Paul Mills.
The handcrafted enclosures of the Fyne Vintage Five are kept compact to allow easy integration into small and medium sized spaces.
With ‘no compromise’ as the theme across the Vintage Series, the Vintage Five comes with all the audio advancements of its larger siblings, including a 125mm (5”) IsoFlare driver featuring a FyneFlute roll surround, state-of-the art BassTrax downwards-firing port system and hand-built Deep Cryogenically Treated crossovers.
With a touch of class in the integrated Presence control to further refine the sound to your listening environment, the Vintage Five is a bold statement in a compact cabinet.
