Fyne Audio F501 Loudspeaker Review
The story of Fyne Audio is underscored by the resolve to maintain an audio manufacturing base in Scotland. Tannoy was acquired by the international holding company Music Group in 2015, and by 2016 the new owners announced the decision to close the Scottish Tannoy factory at Coatbridge and move production to a new facility in China. This played a significant part in the motivation of a team of experienced ex-Tannoy employees to embark on a journey to start Fyne Audio. With financing in place, Fyne Audio was officially launched in January 2017. At the end of 2019, Fyne Audio had a manufacturing base near Glasgow in Scotland, where mid-to-high-end products are built. Affordable gear, including the entire F500 range, is manufactured in China to Fyne Audio's exacting standards. These days, manufacturing in the East has become essential to staying competitive at entry-level price points. Product reception has been enthusiastic, and while the UK is a core market, distribution arrangements already span 50 countries.
