Fyne Audio F55E

Fyne Audio F55E: 2.5-way floorstanding speakers with a 125 mm IsoFlare driver

The F55E is a 2.5-way floorstander with a small footprint, which Fyne Audio suggests for small rooms and for listening to both music and films. Sold as a pair.

The 125 mm IsoFlare point source unit matches a multi-fibre cone for bass and midrange to a compression tweeter whose titanium dome measures 19 mm; a second 125 mm multi-fibre drive unit assigned to the bass works beside it. The port faces the floor and works with the BassTrax system. The cabinet is made of MDF.

Technical data

Suggested amplifier power runs from 30 to 120 W RMS; the speaker takes 60 W RMS continuously. The crossover points sit at 350 Hz and 1.8 kHz, using a second-order low-pass filter and a first-order high-pass filter. Each cabinet measures 925 x 210 x 236 mm (height x width x depth) and weighs 11.9 kg: both figures refer to a single speaker.

Installation

BassTrax technology spreads sound evenly around the room, which is why the position of the speakers is less critical.
