Fyne Audio 704 & Classe Audio

listening to fyne audio 704 speakers and classe Audio.

[@davidrivera2165]

Last year (2020) Suncoast had two rooms at the Florida Audio expo (Tampa). In the main room (1st fl) the Magico M6s drew the crowd with it's expansive and dynamic presence. Their second room (on 6 or 7th fl) a pair of Fyne Audio F702 captured my attention. The brand was unknown to me then. For $9K the 702 were the steal of the show. Fyne Audio was founded by some of the main talent from Tannoy. The Scots do know how to deliver a great bank for your buck. Thanks Jay. It's great that you teamed up with Mike at Suncoast.

[@MrTennisdoc40]

Got my 702’s today. I purchased at sun coast and had the chance to hear the MAGICO 60k speaker and if given the space and money, would buy them in a heartbeat. In my real world audio the 702’s are the most human and musical I have encountered outside of ultra high end. While 9k is not inexpensive, they deliver at least 5x their retail. In addition don’t need megawatt amplification. My speaker unless the lottery pays out

[@justadad2304]

While there's more mids-and-up energy than I instinctively pursue, I have to admit, I'm quite pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this demo (over UA-cam). The system really "sings" and delivers a memorable musical experience.

[@SLK638]

They sound very cool, such a lively, accurate sound...

[@boniccie]

Phenomenal set up! Love Fyne speakers and I hope one day I can upgrade from the f501 to the 702. Thank you for sharing with us👍

[@breakoutpete210]

One can never go wrong with Classe’...👌🎼🔊

[@elderinmoi1571]

Totally wrong. In deed classee was almost dead and ruined by B&W when they bought the company chased away all employees and moved the facility to China. What was left was over priced garbage just like all B&W stuff. Only when B&W sold them in 2018 the old stuff came back and helped to make this product which is the first under the new ownership. And it is great. Just like classee was before B&W bought them.

[@breakoutpete210]

@@elderinmoi1571…understood, I have the Classe amp and preamp products, before B&W bought them…

[@spacejaime]

Jay, we need your comments on Classe's implementation of digital amplification. Not sure they are getting close to A - A/B highest standards of sound. Your take on these speakers a must too. Thanks for the delightful videos at Suncoast. 👍

[@rw3915]

Not the last word in detail, but very musical. I still like the Pass Labs XS amp and Wilson combo you had perhaps a year ago.. Although, I bet this sounds amazing in person. Keep up the pursuit.

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Well... It sounds fine and classy :D

[@skip1835]

I really do appreciate these "side appetizers" Jay - - thanks for posting, I enjoyed this one as much as the first one with the Kharma's.

[@culo38]

These Fyne Audio almost look like tannoy d700. The beauty of dualconcentric speakers.

[@sheerenergy8602]

Cause they were made by people from Tannoy whom sell Tanoy company and set new company named Fyne audio. Very smart move :)

[@elderinmoi1571]

Classee stereo amp ? They also have the monos and i see two units that just look like them. I also only see one VU meter on each unit. The monos have that. The stereo amp has two (for two channels obviously). I think they are not even turned on in this video because the VU meters do light up and move when played.

[@jdekong3945]

Sounds good considering what the signal has to go through to get to us, you can appreciate the detail

[@thomass.9167]

Finally someone who gets it. This is FM radio at best. But, the audio quality is not the point of these videos. It’s just a hint of what the in-person experience would be.

[@jarkkokinnunen9963]

@@thomass.9167 Yes, im actually using these videos from youtube to have hints what speakers i should go to audition in showroom for the system im building up. If the microphone is same between videos, and you know house sound of some brands/speakers, you can use that datapoint to compare what are for example: too bright for your taste, or more smooth enough for your taste.

[@user-tk7kz1fl2r]

Let's see if this rig can handle hard rock or heavy metal. I agree, Jay, your channel does what others don't, but you play the same simple undemanding music on much pricier kit than the other UA-camrs do with much cheaper kit!

[@InnovativeBuildersmd]

this classe / fyne combo sounds really good might have to setup an audition.

[@steve6465]

Great video Jay, I have Classe CP 800 pre amp and CA D200 in my system for about 5 years. They have been great especially when listening to digital. I mostly listen to vinyl so I'm thinking of changing to Luxman or Pass Labs in the near future

[@user-dc5ju5lg4r]

👍👍👍🌋

[@2ChannelAudio]

Superb! 👏👏👏😍👍

[@MrTennisdoc40]

If you are old enough to remember when tv companies advertised, the picture quality is only be as good as the one you are watching on. No matter how good the system it still must compress into a microphone. How can you ascribe qualities to the system.
FWIW. Patiently waiting for my 702’s

[@Alephkilo]

The combination of classe and Flynn sounds sublime..👍🏼

[@mariusaslzos5764]

Amazing speakers,they kick straight in the balls,many expensive speakers.And they love tubes like mouses the cheese.

[@Andrei.P1]

Hello Jay, for my taste, this setup sounds very bright)

[@sheikov2000]

Very interesting - I am listening on my Tannoy DC8T's at home. When the bass line comes it it's like a quiet thunder.... I do not hear this from the F704, listening on my reference quality headphones. This is probably the mic not picking up the low frequencies..... I can't imagine the F704 having a "lean" bass. I hope this is not the case, because I am getting a pair of F703's in a couple of days.

[@sadsazzad12]

FYNE AUDIO FYNEST IS F1 - 12 CASE CLOSED!!!😎😎

[@warren818]

This speaker seems very midrange-centric. I'm not familiar with the supporting cast, but this is the least convincing of the videos lately. Thanks for sharing Jay. -Nearly 4,700 subscribers.

[@Andrew_from_Oz_Vinyl_Landscape]

Surprisingly good, wasn’t expecting such high frequency clarity and micro detail , I wonder if it need to be toed out a little, to get the mid balance better, very good deep soundstage worth further experimentation great video

[@Andrew_from_Oz_Vinyl_Landscape]

Having listened on my big system, I was surprised at the variation in the high frequency balance between tracks, the first seems way over the top, the second still high mid and treble tipped but less objectionable actually quite interesting , if the mids could be balanced with it, owning a Da2, there is a lot of information coming out of that DAC, and it needs to be carefully spectrally balanced or it can tip into high frequency overload , others have suggested it could be related to pushing the tweeter so low, which does make some sense to me be interested in Jays feedback actually being there ?

[@louv4437]

Those speakers are amazing, Jay how do you compare them to the A5’s?

[@kurthill7030]

The people behind the speakers are from tannoy great speakers 👍👍

[@BearsBlend]

Was comparing the sound of this video to that of the Kharma one and on thing is clear. These do base better the the Kharma, kind of logical since these are bigger but still. Overal i do like the sound of the kharmas better but i think its more of a component miss match on the Fyne Audio. If these would be setup with audioquest, gryphon etc we could have a real high performance setup going. I was shocked to see the price of these.... Jay i think you need to get these and experiment with them because i see some real potential here....

[@carminedesanto6746]

I think David Reich would like the direction Classe’ is going.
I still love my DR3-VHC’s 😊

[@breakoutpete210]

Great amps? I had 2 DR2’s running in bridged mode with the DR7 preamp driving a pair of Tannoy Arundels a few years back. Traded the amps and preamp for the Classe’ CA-300 amp and CP-60 preamp...been using them ever since, with a pair of Pierre Etienne Epsilon speakers. Very engaging and none fatiguing sound, for all night sessions...enjoy your Classe’s!!!👌🎼

[@carminedesanto6746]

I had them in bridged mono also ..driving Apogee Scintillas...the pre amp was the 7 .

I know it' sjust youtube and hard to judge but this really does not sound very good on my end.

[@thomass.9167]

That’s because it’s just UA-cam and hard to judge. We can also enjoy cooking videos without actually tasting the food. It’s all entertainment. Lean back and enjoy the sights!

[@johnmastroleo995]

Jay I'm curious why the latest demos are not being done in your own listening room. The current room is clearly more reverberant than your actual listen room.
My ears will eventually adjust to the more reverberate environment.
Did you decide to do this because of the amount of setup involved each time you bring new gear to your room

[@jaysaudiolab]

This is a dealer i went to visit. I shot videos there. That's all.

This speaker has a 3 inch compression tweeter playing down to 900hz. Wow. It definitely sounds like a tweeter playing the midrange. NOT my cup of tea.

[@stevedays3576]

Sounds thin and edge, sorry not very musical

Don't sound good. The best speakers are the Goebel Divisi Nobelsse
