Fyne Thinking

• One of the things we love here at Lavish is the opportunity to get to know – and use – new equipment. We’re especially excited to announce that we’re participating in the U.S. product launch of Fyne Audio. Having first hit the European market in 2017, the Scottish company has already taken the HiFi world by storm, winning hearts and awards on every continent. You’ll be amazed by the sound quality of these speakers and how close they bring you to the music.
• To showcase the latest additions to our lineup, we’re featuring a special Scottish pairing with a distinct emphasis on time. We’ve matched Fyne Audio’s F502 speakers with the Linn Majik DSM for a must-hear auditory experience.
