Questions & Answers

What is the recommended amplifier power for the Fyne F1-8?

The F1-8 performs best with an amplifier power output between 30W and 180W RMS.

How should the Presence button be used on the F1-8?

The Presence control allows you to adjust the frequency range from 2.5 kHz to 5.0 kHz by ±3 dB to optimize vocals, articulation, and spatial imaging.

What connection options do the F1-8 speaker terminals offer?

The speaker has dual terminals for HF and LF, allowing for single-wire, bi-wire, or bi-amp configurations.

Is there a Super Tweeter option compatible with the F1-8?

Yes, the SuperTrax super tweeter can be connected to the F1-8’s HF terminal and requires proper adjustment and polarity.

What is the ideal placement of the F1-8 in the listening room?

Place the speakers 1.5 to 4.5 meters apart, at least 0.5 meters from the back wall and 1 meter from the side walls; also try to angle them slightly toward the listening position.

What are the dimensions and weight of each F1-8 speaker?

Each F1-8 measures approximately 470 × 280 × 441 mm (H × W × D) and weighs about 15.2 kg.

How does a “downward-firing port with BassTrax diffuser” affect performance?

The bass reflex port faces downward and is integrated into a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser, which helps disperse low frequencies more evenly throughout the room.

What are the sensitivity and impedance of the F1-8?

The sensitivity is 91 dB at 2.83 V/1 m, and the nominal impedance is 8 ohms, which means it can be driven fairly easily.

What materials and technologies are used for the drivers and the enclosure?

The speaker features a 200mm IsoFlare coaxial driver with a multi-fiber cone, a FyneFlute rubber surround, and a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter, and a cabinet constructed from high-density plywood with internal bracing.

How should the speaker cable system be connected when using bi-wire or bi-amp?

Remove the jumpers between the LF and HF terminals; use separate cables for LF and HF in bi-wire mode, or separate amplifiers in bi-amp mode, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

Reviews & awards | Fyne F1-8

What Hi-Fi?

According to What Hi-Fi?, the Fyne Audio F1-8 offers an excellent blend of dynamics, rhythmic precision, and clarity. The sound is powerful and thrilling, performs well at a wide range of volume levels, and features excellent build quality and finish. However, the review does caution that system matching is important to get the most out of these speakers.

AVReviews (Israel)

In this review, the F1-8 is described as a “work of art”: it perfectly combines traditional British warmth with a modern, dynamic sound. The speaker is efficient, compatible with various amplifiers, and features an adjustable Presence control to tailor the sound to your system and personal preferences.

Hi-Fi Choice (UK, Dec. 2023)

Hi-Fi Choice praises the F1-8 as a giant among standmount speakers—large, imposing, with floor-standing proportions—yet also possessing the agility, focus, and coherence of top-class monitors. The speaker delivers volume and dynamic range that are surprising for a standmount, reveals details even in the quietest passages, and creates an impressive, highly precise soundstage.

U-Audio (Taiwanese review)

According to U-Audio, the F1-8 delivers floor-standing-level bass despite being a standmount; the bass has quantity, depth, and texture. The BassTrax diffuser, the coaxial mid/bass driver design, and the FyneFlute surround are cited as key elements behind the clear, resilient bass. Ideal for fans of pop, blues, or mixed music genres; heavy rock fans may find it lacks a bit of extreme low-end punch.
