![]() Our choice of test music is varied, too, to see how pairs sound when playing a variety of different music. ![]() We often review bookshelf speakers by them using at least two systems – our reference system, to reveal the best they can sound when fed the most accurate signals, and a more price-comparable one to see how they perform in real-world scenarios. We judge products on a performance-per-pound basis, so during our testing we always compare products to similarly priced class leaders to help us settle on a star rating for the review and the order for these five-star performers in these buying guides. Find out more about how we test.Īt What Hi-Fi? we have state-of-the-art testing facilities in London, Reading and Bath where, as a team of audio experts, we review of hundreds of products every year, including one of the most prolific hi-fi products of all – bookshelf speakers. Why you can trust What Hi-Fi? Our expert team reviews products in dedicated test rooms, to help you make the best choice for your budget. Read the full review: Fyne Audio F701 review But, there’s something about the snappy way these Fynes deliver rhythms and track dynamics swings that makes them hugely appealing. Rivals such as the highly polished Dynaudio Contour 20i deliver a more sophisticated sound and are sweeter through the higher frequencies. Most rivals concentrate on refinement and detail resolution whereas the Fynes sound like they just want to have fun. They sound big, bold and enthusiastic in a way that eludes much of the high-end competition. The Fyne Audio F701 are truly entertaining performers, if installed with care. There are lots of other lovely design and build touches, which help make a product that both looks, feels and, most importantly, sounds, like a truly premium pair of speakers. This should help deliver a more even dispersion and better alignment between drivers. This is one of Fyne Audio’s core technologies and places the 25mm magnesium dome compression tweeter right in the throat of the 20cm multi-fibre mid/bass driver. The F701 uses an Isoflare point source driver array. Formed by hi-fi industry veterans, the company clearly knew how to make a great pair of speakers – and now it has proved it can do high-end, too. If you have the budget - and space - for these speakers, they're worth an audition.įyne Audio burst on to the scene in 2017 and quickly established itself as a manufacturer of note when it comes to affordable and midrange speakers. It’s a musically cohesive presentation that’s controlled and nicely organised. Songs are delivered with wide-ranging dynamics, impressive authority and scale. The speakers have a slightly forward balance, especially with the clear and expressive midrange, that sounds lively and engaging – but thankfully never too aggressive. They sound taut and agile, but also delicate in the way they paint bass textures and resolve low-level information. They have so much finesse when it comes to delivering extended bass. ![]() ![]() While the retro link will be the main attraction for some, for us that’s put in the shade by the speakers' excellent all-round performance. The 770 have a range of sonic talents that sets them apart from most rivals and earns them a warm recommendation. ![]() Mission takes design inspiration from the original 770 speakers launched in the 1970s, but has improved and modernised every other element: from the cabinet design to the drivers and even new dedicated stands. We think these new Mission 770 are right up there with the very best at this price. ![]()
