Description
Ideal for smaller listening rooms, the F301i is a compact, standmount or bookshelf loudspeaker packing a punch with amazing versatility and best-in-class performance. Based on its highly acclaimed predecessor, the F301i benefits from an upgraded titanium tweeter and improved crossover to render a far superior, refined treble. As a Hi-Fi stereo pair, the F301i is capable of delivering a dynamic bass and musical articulation that is seen in more expensive designs. Its high current handling is equally at home in home theatre systems where the F301i’s easy-to-drive nature and deep bass punch are compatible with a variety of AV amplifiers and receivers.
The F300i Series improves on the award-winning F300 Series with its superior titanium dome tweeter and upgraded crossover. Rendering enhanced treble and a scale of specification and audiophile performance unmatched at its price, the line-up provides versatility for audiophiles or cinephiles.

Benefits of Fyne Audio F301i Bookshelf Speaker
Driver Technology
Fyne Audio aims to provide best-in-class performance at all price levels, and the careful component selection for the F300i drivers helps to meet this goal. Utilising a multi-fibre paper cone on the bass/midrange drivers delivers a natural-sounding midrange and clean transient behaviour. Fitted to the centre of the driver is a phase plug which provides smooth midrange roll-off characteristics. FyneFlute technology, used on the driver’s roll rubber surround, provides a non-homogeneous interface that very effectively terminates the speaker cone energy.
Tweeter – Crisp and controlled high-frequency detail
Improving on its award-winning predecessor, the F300i Series tweeter combines a powerful Neodymium magnet system with a 25mm Titanium dome, producing a controlled and more detailed high frequency. Integrated within the protective mesh cover is a phase loss compensator, which delays the output from specific areas of the dome to give a smooth and extended response.
Cabinet
A well-constructed speaker cabinet is the starting point for any high-performance loudspeaker. Exceptional rigidity is provided on all F300i models through a combination of MDF panels, which are cross-braced internally. Additional stiffness is achieved by coupling the low-frequency driver’s magnet to the cabinet bracing using a resonant absorbing material. Widening the footprint on the floor-standing models, using a plinth with floor coupling spikes, provides stability for tight bass and accurate stereo imaging.
Crossover
Optimal performance of each of the F300i models is assured by using high-quality precision components within the crossover, including a low-loss LF laminated core inductor and HF polypropylene capacitors. Although the designs are computer-optimised, fine-tuning is always undertaken through critical auditioning. The gold-plated speaker terminals ensure a clean signal path, and the top-of-the-range F303i has bi-wire terminals fitted to further enhance performance.
