Reimagine the 70s
Remember those classic loudspeakers from the 1970s? That era of distinctive, iconic cabinets and ground-breaking technologies that moved audiophiles closer than ever to the music? So do we.
Retro Meets Modern
From the drawing board of audio industry veteran of 40+ years, Dr Paul Mills, the Fyne Audio Vintage and Vintage Classic Series loudspeakers reimagine those iconic years of loudspeaker design.
Merging retro-inspired aesthetics with the latest developments in acoustic design and engineering, this elegant range of traditional loudspeakers shows that back in the day never sounded this good.
The designer
Dr Paul has been at the forefront of loudspeaker design for decades, becoming one of the HiFi industry’s most respected figures since the 1990s.
Bringing this unrivalled blend of heritage, experience and engineering knowledge to bear on a project close to his heart, Fyne Audio’s premium Vintage and more affordable Vintage Classic series are no-compromise designs born of Dr Paul’s passion for creating the most engaging music experience at home, sonically and visually.
Handcrafted in the UK
Hand crafted in Scotland and exquisitely finished in timeless real wood veneers, each model incorporates a raft of Fyne’s latest technologies including IsoFlare point source drivers with FyneFlute roll surround and BassTrax 360 degree bass porting.
From the premium curved cabinets and bespoke Presence control dial of the Vintage Series to the striking black baffle of Scottish patterned grill cloth of the more accessible Vintage Classic Series, every model seamlessly blends traditional British craftsmanship with contemporary audio performance
