The Vintage Fifteen stands as the pinnacle of the Vintage Series, exemplifying Dr Paul Mills’ unyielding commitment to exceptional audio design. It is equipped with the largest and most powerful IsoFlare driver Fyne Audio has ever developed, essentially setting new standards in sound reproduction technology. This impressive driver combines a 380mm (15″) multi-fibre cone mid/bass unit with a 75mm titanium dome tweeter that is driven by a neodymium motor, perfectly synchronizing high and low frequencies to create a unified sound source.

The acoustic performance of the Vintage Fifteen is further enhanced by its specially designed crossover, which is not only the most advanced in the Fyne line but also benefits from Deep Cryogenic Treatment, ensuring ultra-refined signal paths that preserve audio purity and detail. The output mirrors the live performance scale, offering listeners a semblance of sitting within an orchestral setting, all thanks to the precise and expansive sound projection.

Constructed within a luxuriously crafted birch ply cabinet that utilizes a dual cavity and BassTrax porting system, the Vintage Fifteen is elegantly cloaked in fine walnut veneer complemented by burr walnut inlays. The meticulous attention to detail extends to its machined metal components and premium trim, culminating in an aesthetically pleasing piece that embodies the best in modern sound engineering and luxurious design. Through the Vintage Fifteen, Dr Paul Mills' vision of harmonizing cutting-edge audio technology with timeless design aesthetics is realized, making it a true masterpiece for the discerning audiophile and a statement piece in any sophisticated living space.
