The Fyne Audio F501 is the smaller floorstander in the F500 series, delivering deep bass, effortless dynamics, and the series' signature clarity from a small-footprint cabinet. It employs a 150mm IsoFlare coaxial driver with a 25mm titanium dome compression tweeter for isotropic energy radiation and precise stereo imaging, paired with a second 150mm multi-fiber bass driver. The downward-firing BassTrax Tractrix port diffuser ensures even bass distribution. Housed in a curved cabinet available in dark oak, black oak, piano gloss black, or white finishes, it excels in small to medium rooms for Hi-Fi or home theater. Note: The original F501 appears discontinued, with successors like F501SP, F501S, and F501E available.
