The facts that change the ownership choice
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
Current price
$1,299 current U.S. price per pairConfirm authorized U.S. dealer stock and black-ash configuration, and do not substitute the smaller F5E, prior F501, active Cubitt or a single cabinet. Confirm quantity two when priced each, new condition, exact finish, matched pair or serial policy, included stands or hardware, tax, delivery, return terms and warranty before paying.
Checked 3 days agoDirect source1 evidence itemLoudspeaker form and ownership branch
compact point-source floorstander with downward diffuser
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsExact stereo pair, price and package
The retained product is one new F501E pair with integrated plinth, grilles and spike hardware in black ash; amplifier, cable, floor protectors and subwoofer are separate
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsCabinet, drivers, crossover and port architecture
A 2.5-way cabinet uses one six-inch IsoFlare coaxial bass-midrange and titanium compression tweeter plus a second six-inch bass driver, crossing at 250 Hz and 1.7 kHz and venting downward through BassTrax
Checked 3 days agoDirect source3 evidence itemsNominal and minimum impedance and sensitivity basis
Fyne specifies 8-ohm nominal impedance and 90 dB sensitivity at 2.83 volts and one meter but does not publish a minimum on the retained page. That leaves the full load curve and phase behavior to verification
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsRecommended amplifier range and clipping boundary
Recommended power is 30 to 150 watts RMS and continuous handling is 75 watts RMS. Those different bases cannot be collapsed into a target wattage or guarantee against clipping or thermal damage
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsStand, spike, pad and plinth package
The 39.2-pound cabinet includes its plinth and uses spikes or floor protection chosen for the surface. Level every cabinet, lock hardware and preserve the specified BassTrax clearance
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsRoom, distance, placement and toe-in
The downward diffuser broadens port radiation but does not erase boundary or room effects. Begin symmetrically, then compare spacing, toe-in and wall distance at the intended listening distance
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsBass extension, port and subwoofer integration
The 36 Hz minus-6 dB typical in-room claim is not a universal extension result. Integrate a subwoofer from measured placement, crossover, phase, delay and level rather than adding one automatically
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsFinish and cosmetic configuration boundary
Black ash is the retained current configuration. A finish or grille change alone would not create a materially distinct speaker record
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsWarranty, parts, inspection and service
Fyne retains the product specification, dealer and support contacts. Verify matched pair identity, IsoFlare alignment, both bass drivers, diffuser, plinth, spikes, finish and terminals during the return period
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsWeight, tip, floor and electrical safety
Each cabinet weighs about 39.2 pounds. Use two people for stairs or final positioning, keep the plinth level, protect hard floors and restrain against tip where household conditions require it
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsHearing and level-exposure boundary
Loudspeaker sensitivity, amplifier watts, power handling and maximum SPL do not define a safe listening level. Commission from low gain, avoid clipping and unexpected source jumps, keep children from controls and manage exposure by measured level and duration.
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence itemsSound, room match, compatibility and reliability boundary
No speaker price, cabinet size, driver material, crossover, port, horn, coaxial array, impedance, sensitivity, amplifier range, stand, placement, room treatment, subwoofer, review, owner report, warranty or service plan guarantees sound quality, room match, compatibility, safe listening level, reliability, parts continuity, resale or any listening, health, safety or commercial outcome.
Checked 3 days agoOur synthesis5 evidence itemsCurrent verdict
The compact downward-port floorstander referenceF501E is defended for a medium-room system seeking point-source geometry and floorstanding scale at a compact footprint while accepting dealer verification and careful plinth setup.
