Bi-Wire Capable

Hand built in the UK, the F701SP incorporates a 200mm IsoFlare driver from the F1-8, with a refined HF waveguide for smoother frequency response. Housed in the critically acclaimed five star F701 standmount cabinet and accessorised with black aluminium anodised trims, it features the proprietary BassTrax LF diffuser on a matching black metal plinth. The speaker’s crossover circuitry has been overhauled and optimised through computational modelling and extensive listening tests. Featuring high grade Claritycap capacitors and Neotech PC-OCC wiring with Gold-plated WBT Nextgen 0703 terminals, it is topped off with our Deep Cryogenic Treatment ensuring you will hear every nuance in any mid to large-sized room.

Overall Score 91/100

Deliciously Crispy

Fyne Audio's F701SP pairs a 200mm IsoFlare point‑source with a refined waveguide to deliver a glorious midrange and articulate, well‑textured bass, plus a surprisingly wide, deep soundstage. The Ear praised its hand‑built crossover and premium build, noting broadcast‑monitor clarity and strong dynamics for a stand‑mount that still feels more refined than many rivals.

The Ear

"The Fyne Audio F701SP is a rare breed: it is a loudspeaker I could not only happily live with but also one I would be confident of using for a broadcast balance."

Pros

Natural, highly detailed midrange and realistic vocal presentation.
Controlled, well‑textured bass aided by the downward‑firing Basstrax port for less room‑dependent placement.
Premium build and hand‑built crossover with high‑grade components yield refined, broadcast‑monitor‑level imaging.

Cons

Premium asking price for a stand‑mount may be steep for some buyers.
Dynamics are very good for a bookshelf but not as forceful as larger floorstanding models.

Bass

92/100

200mm IsoFlare driver and downward-firing port deliver deep, well-textured low end with good control; reviewer noted 'low-end extension was well-textured' and the port 'manages to avoid sounding boomy in my relatively small room.' Given the 200mm driver and 35Hz reported response, this is excellent bass for the cabinet size.

Mid

93/100

Midrange praised repeatedly: 'glorious midrange', 'voices portrayed with great realism' and described as 'much more like a broadcast monitor' — indicates highly accurate, natural timbre and strong vocal presence.

Treble

91/100

Tweeter and refined HF waveguide give air and sparkle without harshness; reviewer: 'treble adding air and sparkle' and 'concentric tweeter... reproduces everything above 2kHz in a seamless way.'

Soundstage Imaging

91/100

Described as 'gorgeously wide and deep soundstage with decent height' and images 'gracefully arrayed beyond the loudspeaker cabinets' with a 'stable image' — strong width, depth and stability for the form factor.

Dynamics

89/100

Handles speed and dynamic swings well ('didn't faze the F701SPs' and 'At high SPLs they really rock'), though reviewer contrasts it with larger Fyne models that 'major on drive and dynamics' — very good dynamics for a bookshelf but not floorstander level.

Build Quality

94/100

High-end construction: curved birch-ply braced cabinet, Basstrax diffuser, hand-built crossover with Claritycap caps, Neotech wiring and WBT Nextgen terminals — reviewer notes it 'exudes quality' and is 'hand-built in the UK.'

Features Connectivity

83/100

Passive bookshelf baseline applied (80). Bi-wiring-capable WBT Nextgen terminals (+2) and an engineered plinth/positioning approach (+1) raise to 83. No DSP/app/streaming expected or penalized.

Value for Money

86/100

At the listed price (~8999) these are premium; reviewer calls them 'well engineered, beautifully crafted' and 'worthy of shortlisting,' which supports good but not bargain value relative to high price and larger Fyne alternatives.
