Brand highlights
Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:
- Fyne Audio utilizes a unique IsoFlare driver, employing a point-source configuration by integrating the tweeter within the midrange/woofer, improving time alignment and creating a more cohesive soundstage.
- They implement a BassTrax porting system, using a downward-firing port coupled with a Tractrix cone diffuser to evenly disperse low frequencies into the room, reducing placement sensitivity.
- Fyne Audio meticulously crafts its cabinets with curved baffles and high-density materials, combined with internal bracing to minimize unwanted resonances.
- The brand offers a customizable sound experience through the inclusion of a "Presence" control, which subtly adjusts the frequencies in the 2.5kHz - 5kHz range, allowing for tailoring the sonic output to individual preferences and room acoustics.

Fyne Audio 500 Series
- Positioning: The entry-level option in Fyne Audio's lineup, offering a balance of performance and affordability.
- Description: Features solid build and impressive bass weight, making it suitable for small to medium-sized rooms. Uses the IsoFlare point-source driver, which enhances stereo imaging and directivity, setting it apart from the more basic F300 series. While it offers a warm and welcoming sound, it may lack the punch and snap found in the higher-end F700 series.
Fyne Audio 700 Series
- Positioning: A mid-range offering, providing a step up in performance and design sophistication from the 500 series.
- Description: Features upscale looks and unique IsoFlare driver, delivering excellent stereo imaging and detail retrieval. Offers a more dynamic and engaging sound compared to the 500 series. The series includes a BassTrax Tractrix diffuser for improved bass dispersion, which is more refined than the simpler designs in the 500 series.
Fyne Audio F1 Series
- Positioning: The flagship line, representing the pinnacle of their technological and design capabilities.
- Description: A groundbreaking achievement with luxurious build and exceptional soundstage, making it suitable for audiophiles with larger budgets and dedicated listening spaces. Features advanced IsoFlare drivers and a unique BassTrax diffuser, offering superior integration and bass performance compared to the 700 series. The F1 series also includes a presence control for fine-tuning the sound, a feature not found in the lower series.
Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Series
- Positioning: A premium offering that combines modern performance with retro aesthetics, appealing to enthusiasts of classic design.
- Description: Known for articulate presentation and expressive dynamics. Features a large IsoFlare driver with a low crossover point, providing seamless midrange delivery that surpasses the integration found in the 700 series. The series also offers high sensitivity, allowing it to be driven by lower-powered amplifiers, which is a distinct advantage over the more power-hungry F1 series.

- Expressive vocals with an almost silky quality
- Conveys emotion with the music

Our take on the brand
Our summary
Product Strengths
- Wide soundstage and radiation pattern, both horizontally and vertically, contribute to an immersive listening experience
- Good mid-bass punch, with an elevated bump around 120Hz that gives the perception of more impact
- Neutral tonal balance, with a well-balanced sound that allows the music to shine
- Excellent dispersion characteristics make them suitable for modern spaces where acoustic treatments are limited
- Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) absorbs unwanted sound behind the tweeter for clearer sound
Product Considerations
- Compression and strain in the upper midrange can occur at high output levels (above 90dB at 10 feet)
- Some cabinet resonance exists
- Some detail, clarity, or attack is lacking from the speaker
- Not ideal for high output
- A slight dip around 1-2kHz exists that some people may not like
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Compared to the KEF Q350, the Q3 Meta has more body and weight in the bass regions, but the Q350 is slightly better and more lively sounding in the upper frequencies
- Compared to the Polk Audio Reserve R200, the Q3 Meta is more neutral
- Compared to the Paradigm Premier 100B, the Q3 Meta dispersion characteristics are better, so they do not need a sub
- Compared to the PSB Imagine B50, the B50 kept its composure better at much louder listening levels, and its tonal balance seemed somehow even more neutral
Takeaway: The KEF Q3 Meta is an enjoyable speaker with a wide soundstage and neutral sound that makes the music sound good. It's a great pick for aesthetics if one does not listen at dangerous sound levels.

Our take on the brand
Product Strengths
- Available in multiple vibrant colors, breaking the monotony of typical speaker designs
- Produces a surprisingly big and wide sound despite their compact size
- The MHEX woofer reacts very fast and sounds like paper
- Soundstage stretches from speaker to speaker
Product Considerations
- Sound profile shows a dip in mid-range and roll-off in high frequencies, potentially requiring EQ adjustments
- High frequencies roll off around 8k or so
- Limited bass response, which may need a subwoofer for rock music or larger rooms
- Not linear frequency response, which may impact sound clarity
- Overall sensitivity is about 83.4 dB, which is below manufacturer's specs
Takeaway: The KIN ONE speakers are small but can create a big sound with multiple color options. Though they may benefit from EQ and a sub, they can be a good option for smaller rooms.

Our take on the brand
So, you upgraded to a gorgeous 1920 x 1080 display but you’re still using your computer’s built-in speakers? Or worse yet, the speakers in the monitor? You might as well put a v4 in a Lamborghini. High-end computer performance demands high-power output speakers, and the Axiom M3 computer speakers deliver – in spades! You’ll get output that’s up to 1400% more than common computer speakers on the market today.
Product Strengths
- The tapered cabinet design eliminates internal resonance, making it lightweight and rigid
- It uses a custom-designed Vortex port that provides more volume in less space
- A unique design allows the woofer to roll off naturally at 2.2kHz, eliminating the need for a low-cost crossover component that could degrade audio signal quality
- Offers a neutral and realistic midrange, providing a natural and realistic sound
- Clarity and resolution, particularly in the midrange area, is well-received
Product Considerations
- Minute gaps were found in the seams of the custom vinyl finish under scrutiny
- Since it is a rear port, some room will need to be left for the speaker to breathe
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Compared to the KEF Q1, the M3 had clearer differentiation and separation of choir and orchestra, and French horns had much more balance and presence
Takeaway: The Axiom M3 is a well-designed speaker that offers excellent value and performs above expectations. It could be a great choice for anyone wanting a clean, neutral sound with great dynamics for casual listening.

Our take on the brand
What competes at this price?
Our Summary
Product Strengths
- High-quality aluminum drivers, including a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a 4-inch aluminum cone mid-bass driver
- Sturdily built with a die-cast aluminum enclosure, contributing to rigidity and reducing internal standing waves
- Small size and aesthetically pleasing, designed to fit into modern lifestyles
- Seamless integration, providing cohesive and organized surround sound
Product Considerations
- Spring-loaded speaker terminals only accept bare wire of relatively light gauges, and they do not accommodate spades or banana plugs
- Bass may be lacking without the addition of a subwoofer
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Paradigm Atom Monitors: The MilleniaOne is made with better-quality parts that are more expensive to produce, and sounds better in terms of mids and highs, though the Atoms can get louder
- Vs Paradigm Reference Signature S6 v.3: The Signature system goes deeper and plays noticeably louder, but the Millenia system plays plenty loud and deep for almost anyone in a small to mid-size room
Takeaway: The Paradigm MilleniaOne is a well-built and aesthetically pleasing speaker system that delivers high-quality sound and seamless integration for an immersive audio experience. If great sound in a smaller size is desired and one is willing to pay a bit more, it is worth considering.
