Fyne Audio F1-10 Anniversary Floorstanding Loudspeaker (pair)

A limited-edition three-way loudspeaker with a 10" IsoFlare driver, 75 mm aluminosilicate glass dome tweeter, integrated SuperTrax super tweeter, and 94 dB sensitivity

Fyne Audio's F1 Series is the flagship line which represents the pinnacle of Fyne Audio’s long-standing audio experience and engineering expertise. This no-compromise series of high-end loudspeakers uses Fyne Audio's most advanced point-source driver technology.

The F1 Series is designed, manufactured, hand-finished, and tested at Fyne’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Glasgow. The F1 Series truly represents state-of-the-art UK hi-fi loudspeaker design.

Celebrating ten years of Fyne Audio, the F1-10 Anniversary is a limited-edition reimagining of the original F1-10, the loudspeaker that established the company's flagship design philosophy. Incorporating a new aluminosilicate glass dome compression tweeter, the first fully integrated SuperTrax super tweeter, and refinements throughout the crossover and cabinet, the F1-10 Anniversary combines Fyne's established engineering principles with its most advanced technologies.

IsoFlare Point-Source Driver

Fyne Audio’s signature design is a point-source system whereby the bass/midrange driver shares a common center with the high-frequency unit. This coaxial design provides outstanding stereo imaging even off axis. Because sound is produced from a single point, it comes off the speakers in a truly spherical and time-aligned wavefront. This preserves the harmonic structure of complex instruments and vocals, recreating the true acoustic sound field from a loudspeaker that is far less dependent on room location.

The F1-10 Anniversary features Fyne Audio's most advanced IsoFlare driver to date. Its 10" (250 mm) multi-fiber bass/midrange cone shares a common acoustic center with an all-new 75 mm aluminosilicate glass dome compression tweeter. Developed exclusively for the Anniversary model, the new high-frequency diaphragm provides exceptional rigidity, low mass, and improved resonance control while preserving the coherent, time-aligned performance of the IsoFlare design.

The aluminosilicate glass dome undergoes a chemical ion-strengthening process that enhances its structural properties and damping characteristics. According to Fyne Audio, the material provides up to seven times the resonance damping of typical metal domes, suppressing unwanted high-frequency coloration and allowing more natural reproduction of vocals and instruments. The dome's large diameter enables operation down to the 750 Hz crossover frequency, allowing the point-source driver to cover the critical vocal range with exceptional continuity.

The IsoFlare driver's multi-fiber paper bass/midrange cone provides natural-sounding midrange reproduction and clean transient behavior, while its high-power motor system and rigid cast aluminum chassis are designed to minimize unwanted distortion and vibration. The result is a driver that combines the dynamic capabilities of a large bass/midrange unit with the imaging precision and coherence of a point-source design.

Integrated SuperTrax Super Tweeter

The F1-10 Anniversary is the first Fyne Audio loudspeaker to incorporate a fully integrated SuperTrax super tweeter system. This advanced high-frequency technology uses a 25 mm Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm (TPCD) super tweeter with a neodymium magnet system, firing vertically into a precision Tractrix diffuser. The diffuser distributes high-frequency energy through a controlled 360-degree wavefront, improving dispersion throughout the listening room.

Operating from 16 kHz to 60 kHz, the SuperTrax system extends the loudspeaker's high-frequency response well beyond the audible range. Fyne Audio designed the system to preserve harmonic structure and reduce phase error at the upper limits of the main IsoFlare driver's operating range. The result is improved spatial information, air, and atmosphere, with a more natural sense of the acoustic environment captured in a recording.

Unlike a conventional forward-firing super tweeter, the vertically oriented SuperTrax design distributes its output evenly around the speaker, making its contribution less dependent on the listener's exact position. A dedicated super tweeter energy control allows adjustment of its output by ±3 dB to suit individual listening preferences and room acoustics.

BassTrax Tractrix Diffuser System

The patented BassTrax Tractrix profile LF diffuser system is a complex yet refined approach to bass loading and reflex porting. It incorporates a twin cavity cabinet design with a tuned waveguide port firing downwards from the reinforced lower panel of the cabinet. This loading technique broadens the tuning frequency to reduce cone excursion and acts as a damping system that blocks potential standing wave resonances produced by the main internal port between cavities.

The lower cavity bass port vents downwards onto the BassTrax Tractrix profile diffuser. The unique, mathematically derived tractrix profile maintains a true 90-degree angle at each intersection of the expanding wavefront, converting planar low-frequency energy into a horizontally expanding spherical 360-degree wavefront with no loss of total energy. The result is seamlessly uniform LF integration into the room and a loudspeaker that is far less critical of room positioning.

In the F1-10 Anniversary, the 10" IsoFlare driver works with the twin cavity BassTrax cabinet to deliver bass extension down to 26 Hz. Combined with the loudspeaker's 94 dB sensitivity, this design provides substantial dynamic capability and powerful low-frequency reproduction while maintaining the flexibility to work with a wide variety of amplification.

Crossover Design

The F1 Series crossover is a no-compromise design, hand-built onto vibration-damping fiberboard panels using premium electronic components and cables, and fine-tuned to deliver exceptional performance. Leaning on decades of premium loudspeaker design experience, Fyne's engineering team refines component selection through computer modeling, measurement, and critical listening.

The F1-10 Anniversary incorporates a specially developed three-way crossover network designed to integrate the new aluminosilicate glass dome IsoFlare driver with the SuperTrax super tweeter. Crossover frequencies are set at 750 Hz and 16 kHz, with a second-order low-pass filter, second-order high-pass filter for the IsoFlare high-frequency driver, and third-order high-pass filter for the super tweeter.

The hand-built crossover uses premium ClarityCap PUR polypropylene capacitors, Neotech PC-OCC internal wiring, and gold-plated WBT Nextgen bi-wire terminals. Once assembled and tested, the crossover undergoes Deep Cryogenic Treatment, a controlled cooling and thawing process intended to relieve microstresses in components, wiring, and solder joints.

The F1-10 Anniversary provides three independent adjustments for optimizing performance in different rooms and systems. The high-frequency energy control offers ±3 dB adjustment above 750 Hz, while the Presence control provides ±3 dB adjustment in the 2.5 kHz to 5 kHz range. A third control adjusts SuperTrax output by ±3 dB between 16 kHz and 60 kHz. Together, these controls allow precise tailoring of the loudspeaker's tonal balance and spatial presentation.

The F1-10 Anniversary

First conceived in 2016 and launched in 2017, the original F1-10 established the engineering principles and distinctive design that would define Fyne Audio's flagship loudspeakers. The F1-10 Anniversary celebrates that heritage with significant advances in driver technology, high-frequency reproduction, crossover design, and cabinet detailing.

At the heart of the design is the new 10" IsoFlare driver with its 75 mm aluminosilicate glass dome compression tweeter. The addition of the integrated SuperTrax system transforms the original two-way concept into a three-way loudspeaker, extending frequency response to 60 kHz while preserving the point-source imaging and natural midrange performance that characterize the F1 Series.

The F1-10 Anniversary's high sensitivity of 94 dB (2.83 V at 1 m) ensures excellent dynamic range and compatibility with a broad selection of amplifiers, from low-powered valve designs to powerful solid-state models. The BassTrax loading system, combined with individual controls for high-frequency energy, presence, and SuperTrax output, allows the loudspeaker to be optimized for different room sizes, placements, and listening preferences.

Anniversary Cabinet and Finish

Each F1-10 Anniversary is built, tuned, and hand-finished at Fyne Audio's Scottish manufacturing facility. The curved cabinet uses birch plywood with solid wood trim and extensive internal bracing to provide a rigid, acoustically controlled enclosure.
