Fyne Audio Vintage Classic VIII SM
Brand: Fyne Audio
Transporting us to the glorious era of traditional 'bookshelf' loudspeaker design, the Vintage Classic VIII SM standmount model encapsulates the nostalgic aesthetics and impressive performance of the Vintage Classic Series in a compact and easily integrable speaker.
Remaining true to the series, the rectangular cabinets are meticulously hand-finished with walnut veneer and a deep black baffle, adorned with gold trim and abundant design elements reminiscent of the 1970s. Complementing the 250mm (8”) IsoFlare driver, the design features a dedicated BassTrax porting implementation crafted to extract optimal performance from the 360-degree LF wavefront, especially when positioned above floor level on stands. The Vintage Classic VIII SM effortlessly combines simple, beautiful, and classic aesthetics with a genuinely contemporary loudspeaker performance.
