Taster No 2, for NWAS 2026 at Cranage!

Fyne Audios 703SP loudspeakers will be powered by Musical Fidelity's NuVista 800.2 Integrated amplifier.

Antony Michaelson, the founder of Musical Fidelity and professional musician, always dreamt of making an audio system that sounds like tube and class A amps. Warm and musical, but it also allows the real-life dynamic reproduction of music, especially of big orchestras.
His dreams came true.

The new NU-VISTA by Musical Fidelity Integrated, PRE, PAS, and, PAM are magical combos of power and finesse. They represent all of Musical Fidelity's technology in making the best, sweetest-sounding amps in the world in a cost-no-object, no-compromise solution.
MF engineers took three years to develop these gigantic but beautiful creatures. Over 1 million Euros have been invested in design costs to launch Musical Fidelity into the heavens of the best. We are very proud and honoured to introduce a new generation of ultimate high-end audio products under the NU-VISTA by Musical Fidelity brand name.

We will be using MF' NuVista 800.2 integrated amplifier, which will be partnered with other products from the MF range.

Here is a taster of what are we going to be using at the NWAS Cranage 27/28th June 2026.

2 systems this year, the main system will be using the incredible Fyne Audio F703SP loudspeakers with additional SuperTrax - super tweeters!

The F703SP, an evolution of Fyne Audio’s F703, encapsulates cutting-edge F1 Series technology in a floorstanding speaker designed for audiophiles. Built in Scotland, it incorporates a 250mm IsoFlare point source driver akin to the F1-10, with a vast Neodymium HF magnet system and a 3” titanium dome, delivering an audio experience with significantly reduced distortion and a more consistent frequency response. The crossover has been meticulously redesigned, optimised through both computer modelling and listening sessions, and is equipped with high grade Claritycap capacitors and Neotech PC-OCC wiring for unparalleled transparency. The speaker’s terminals now feature high-quality gold-plated WBT Nextgen 0703 connectors, and a cryogenic treatment of the crossover in Fyne Audio’s own facilities further enhances signal clarity. Additionally, the F703SP is mounted on a heavy F1 grade machined aluminium platform with M12 threaded support cones for superior stability and precise low-frequency detail, ensuring the speaker stands firm and delivers sound that captivates with its power and dynamic range.

Music’s true beauty emerges not just from its bass depth, the intricacies of its midrange, or the crispness of its treble. Our innovative time-aligned, omnidirectional super tweeter ensures that the energy reflected within a space harmonises with the direct sound, enhancing the perceived spaciousness and airiness of any audio setup. Available in Walnut to match our Vintage Series or Piano Gloss Black, SuperTrax elevates your listening experience beyond the conventional, by broadening your speakers’ frequency response well beyond the typical range of human hearing. This broadening adds to your music a heightened sense of tonal fidelity, enhanced dynamic detail, and an expanded spatial feel, even amplifying the richness of the lower frequencies. The common practice of integrating a subwoofer to boost bass and improve musical phase accuracy is mirrored in the high-frequency domain by our super tweeter. It’s this augmentation of phase accuracy across the spectrum that maintains the integrity of the music’s harmonics, playing a crucial role in what we “feel”.

SuperTrax

"We know the higher the frequency the more likely beaming like a torch can occur. To overcome this we moved beyond the conventional forward firing super tweeter. The SuperTrax’s omnidirectional design radiates energy through 360 degrees, enveloping you in a sphere of coherent sound. This is made possible by our patented SuperTrax tractrix radiator with its revolutionary approach to sound dispersion".

Dooleys-HiF will be using Cyntaf stands at the NWAS 2026 27th to 28th June Cranage, situated in Room 101.

These superb stands are manufactured by Master Craftsman Mike Wall of MW Stands. Based in Wales, Mike can build bespoke stands to order.

"Every Cyntaf begins with the careful selection of materials. Each leg is cut from a single length of hard maple, ensuring the grain pattern flows seamlessly throughout the stand.

This attention to detail not only elevates the aesthetic but guarantees strength and consistency.

For the shelves, we rely on a trusted partner at the Welsh slate quarry, who selects each piece against our strict criteria for structural integrity and the natural beauty of its riven patterning. Both materials are finished to exacting tolerances, creating a foundation as precise as it is striking"
