Those former Tannoy employees soon formed a new company: Fyne Audio. <\/p>\n<p>\nJust 20 months later, Scotland&#8217;s Fyne Audio already has a large lineup of loudspeakers, from small budget standmounts to some serious high-end contenders, like the nominally 96dB\/2.83V\/m, 8 ohm flagship F1-12, with its 12&#8243; concentric driver. I counted 23 models in 5 series, including four subwoofers but not counting their in-wall and in-ceiling lineup, in the Gramophone Distribution Company room here at the Toronto Audiofest. Here in Canada, inventory is reportedly still low, but a major shipment is expected next week; then the new speakers should really start to flow. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn the States, Fyne distribution has also commenced just recently; the US distributor is the Sound Organization, which also imports such venerable brands as Rega, ProAc, and Bryston. <em>Stereophile<\/em> will be reviewing a pair of their inexpensive speakers soon. <\/p>\n<p>\nHere in Toronto, some eight models were on display; the further up the size-and-price scale you go, the more these speakers resemble classic Tannoys, some with dual 8&#8243;, 10&#8243;, and 12&#8243; drivers, one of them with a concentric compression tweeter. <\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/20191020-FYNE702-600.jpg.jpg\" border=0 align=left><\/p>\n<p>\nWhen I entered the room, two were in position to play music: the F703 ($15,950 CAD\/pair) and the F702 ($11,295 CAD\/pair). I heard from very fine sounds from the F702s (which were already connected) driven by an Audia Flyte FLS 10 Super integrated amplifier ($11,990 CAD). Digital music was provided by a Melco N1Zh server ($6995 Can) and a Lindemann Music Book Source DAC\/Streamer\/Preamp ($4695). <\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/20191020-DOUBLEX-600.jpg.jpg\" border=0 align=left><\/p>\n<p>\nI also listened to vinyl via this very handsome Acoustic Signature Double X turntable with TA-2000 tonearm ($8600), Acoustic Signature Tango Mk3 phono preamp ($1450.00 CAD), and a Hana ML MC cartridge. <\/p>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<p><!-- ShareThis BEGIN -->Click Here: <a href='https:\/\/www.jerstores.com\/mens-rugby-jersey\/nrl-telstra-premiership-mens\/mens-south-sydney-rabbitohs-shirt' title='sydney roosters shirt'>sydney roosters shirt<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wasn&#8217;t paying a lot of attention to Scottish audio in 2016, but here&#8217;s what I know: The new owners of Scottish loudspeaker company Tannoy at first threatened to move production to China, but ended up opening a new factory in Scotland instead.
