VINTAGE TEN
The Ear's Best Hi-Fi 2025 — Classic British Floorstander with 10-Inch IsoFlare
Description ⌄
10" IsoFlare floorstanding speaker in classic Walnut — Vintage Series. The Vintage Ten is a two-way floorstanding speaker from Fyne Audio's Vintage Collection, built around a 10-inch IsoFlare point-source driver with a coaxially mounted 75mm titanium dome compression tweeter. The twin-cavity birch plywood cabinet has contoured curves and fires downward through a BassTrax Tractrix port. Hand-finished walnut veneer with gold-anodized trim and front-panel HF energy and presence adjustment controls complete the vintage-styled design.
Technical background
The Vintage Ten uses a 10-inch IsoFlare coincident driver — the same driver size as the F1-10S flagship — in a classic British floor-standing enclosure with BassTrax downward-firing porting. The large driver delivers 94dB sensitivity, enabling it to work with amplifiers from 10W while producing room-filling dynamics.
Design story
The Vintage Ten was designed to place Fyne's larger IsoFlare drivers inside a classic British floor-standing cabinet, giving the brand's most powerful coincident-driver technology an aesthetic context that suits traditional interior spaces. Built at Lennoxtown to the same cabinet standards as the F1 Series.
Best for
