Should a home theater speaker be beautiful? Scottish hi-fi, Fyne Audio, is betting on ‘reference level’ sound with a high SPL that’s enough for its new line-up – they’re more for hiding in the wall than showing off proudly, and that’s okay

• Fyne Audio launches new range of home theater speakers from £950 / $1,300
• High SPL drivers and sub designed to “visually disappear”
• Made with large setups and professional installation in mind

Fyne Audio, a highly respected Scottish manufacturer of high-end hi-fi, has expanded its home theater range with three new models: two new monitors and a subwoofer.

They’re designed to be heard and not seen, with high SPL levels, “reference” sound quality and a design made to “visually disappear”… although given that they’re big black boxes, you’ll need to place them behind a fabric panel or projector screen or something to actually achieve this.

Here’s Fyne Audio’s depiction of a home theater using them. Don’t waste your time Where’s Wally?-ing, it’s just a picture of a home theater with no visible speakers. They are so well kept!

The three models are eight-inch F708TM, 12-inch F712TM and 12-inch F7-12TM subwoofer. Yes, that’s an unusually confusing way to list the last two, but here we are.
