Description

The F500S is the two-way bookshelf monitor from the F500S series, designed for those seeking a natural and immersive soundstage in compact spaces. Its 150mm IsoFlare point source driver, featuring a 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter, aligns the bass/midrange and treble at a single point for a coherent stereo image across a wide listening area. The enclosure combines a downward-firing port with the Tractrix BassTrax diffuser, distributing bass energy evenly and reducing sensitivity to placement. The cabinet, constructed from high-rigidity MDF with extensive internal bracing, controls cabinet resonances, and a presence control allows for mid-band balance adjustment. It is ideal for both two-channel listening and integration into home cinema systems.

  • Downward-firing port with Tractrix BassTrax diffuser
  • High-rigidity MDF enclosure with extensive internal bracing
  • Adjustable presence control (±3 dB, 2.5–5.0 kHz)
  • Suitable for high-fidelity and home cinema

Before choosing this model

The F500S is a two-way standmount with a 150 mm IsoFlare driver. It measures 325 × 204 × 317 mm, excluding feet; allow for the footprint and height of stands when planning its position. The presence control offers ±3 dB adjustment between 2.5 and 5 kHz. It does not change bass extension or replace careful positioning in your room.

Fyne recommends an amplifier rated at 30–100 W RMS. This range is a starting point: tell us your amplifier model, listening distance and usual volume so we can discuss the pairing.

Technologies

Three Fyne Audio solutions work together to focus the image, control the bass, and reduce resonances.

  • IsoFlare

    IsoFlare is Fyne Audio's point source principle: the bass/midrange and treble share a common central point, ensuring the sound emanates from a single location. The aim is to achieve a coherent and stable image across a wide listening area.

  • BassTrax

    BassTrax is Fyne Audio's bass diffusion system based on a tractrix profile. It manages the low-frequency output of the loudspeaker to distribute bass energy more evenly throughout the room.

  • FyneFlute

    FyneFlute is Fyne Audio's cone suspension/termination technology. It addresses the behaviour of the cone edge to manage unwanted resonances within the speaker's operating range.

F500S or F500SP: what changes?

The F500S belongs to the range that succeeded the original F500 series. The F500SP is a separate Special Production model developed from the earlier F500, with technology derived from the F700. Its name does not mean it is an upgraded F500S.

Both are passive two-way standmounts with a 150 mm IsoFlare bass/midrange driver, a 25 mm magnesium compression tweeter and a downward-firing port with a BassTrax diffuser. Magnesium and BassTrax are shared features, rather than reasons to choose one over the other.

The frequency limits use Fyne’s −6 dB “typical in room” convention; they do not predict the response in your room. The 1 dB sensitivity difference is a declared rating, not a listening verdict. Nominal impedance does not describe the complete electrical load.

The stated dimensions include the grille, terminals and any plinth, but exclude feet. Allow additional space for cables, stands and placement adjustments.

The F500S presence control adjusts part of the upper midrange; it is not a bass or room-mode correction. The SP’s construction and crossover details do not establish audible superiority without a relevant comparison.

Before choosing, ask about…

  • A stable stand with a suitable top plate, load rating and height for your listening position; a similar cabinet width does not establish stand compatibility.
  • An audition at matched playback levels, with the same amplifier and music, checking bass balance and vocal clarity from your actual listening distance.
  • The exact finish, pair price and lead time in Spain. UK prices and UK-only colour options do not establish local terms.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the F500S need?
Fyne recommends 30–100 W. The F500S has a sensitivity of 89 dB and a nominal impedance of 8 Ω.
Can it be placed close to a wall?
Its BassTrax port fires downward, which Fyne says reduces sensitivity to placement. Even so, it is best to leave some room behind the speaker and fine-tune the position in each room.
F500S or F501S?
The F500S is a two-way bookshelf monitor; the F501S is a floorstander that adds a dedicated bass driver (2.5-way), with greater extension and scale.
Is it suitable for home cinema?
Yes. The F500S series includes a matching F500S LCR for the centre channel or LCR configurations.
