Description

The F500SP is the most compact model in the F500 SP special production series, combining technology from the F700 with the classic cabinet of the F500. This standmount monitor features a 150 mm SP IsoFlare point source driver derived from the F700: a multi-fibre bass/mid cone with FyneFlute surround and a 25 mm magnesium dome compression tweeter with a neodymium motor, delivering full-band point source reproduction with exceptional detail and imaging. The bass output is channelled through a down-firing port onto the Tractrix BassTrax diffuser, ensuring a smooth response and seamless room integration. The bi-wired crossover, treated with Cryo-Lite, includes a fifth grounding terminal to reduce radio frequency interference. It is completed with an anodised aluminium plinth, diamond-cut aluminium trims, and four finishes, including Natural Walnut.

Before choosing this model

The F500SP is a two-way standmount with a 150 mm IsoFlare driver and a 25 mm magnesium tweeter. Its dimensions are 323 × 200 × 320 mm; allow for the footprint and height of stands as well. Tell us how you plan to position it so we can discuss wall clearance and driver height at your listening position.

Fyne recommends an amplifier rated at 30–120 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.
