Fyne Audio’s latest active speakers want to be the only box on your shelf. The Cubitt 5 bundles streaming, vinyl playback and TV sound into a compact pair of cabinets, and it does so with the kind of driver engineering the Scottish brand usually reserves for its passive lineup.
At the heart of each speaker sits a 5-inch (125mm) IsoFlare point source coaxial driver with a 19mm titanium dome tweeter nestled at its centre. The coaxial layout means treble and midrange radiate from the same point, which tightens up imaging and makes positioning far less fussy than a conventional two-way design. Driving all of this is a total of 240 watts, managed by DSP-controlled amplification that keeps the tuning consistent across volume levels.
The real party trick is the connectivity. The Cubitt 5 carries a built-in moving magnet phono stage, so a turntable plugs straight in without an external preamp. There’s also HDMI ARC for hooking the pair up to a TV, an optical digital input handling up to 24-bit/96kHz, analogue RCA inputs, and a dedicated subwoofer output for when you crave more low-end heft.
Wireless duties fall to Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and AAC codec support, covering both higher-quality Android streams and Apple devices. It’s a sensible spread that covers vinyl, streaming and home cinema in one go.
Fyne hasn’t skimped on the cabinets either. Each enclosure is built from high-density MDF with internal bracing to suppress resonance, and a front-firing bass port means the speakers can sit close to a wall without the boomy bloom that rear ports often produce.
Buyers get five finishes to choose from:
- Midnight Black
- Pearl Titanium
- Olive Green
- Pebble Grey
- Arctic White
The Olive Green and Pebble Grey options in particular nudge the Cubitt 5 toward lifestyle territory, where it competes with the likes of active all-in-one systems from rivals chasing the same shelf space.
Announced in May 2026, the Cubitt 5 is priced at £549 / €649 / $749 per pair, with availability arriving in June 2026. For a single pair of speakers that swallows a phono stage, an HDMI input and a streaming receiver, that’s a tidy proposition — and one that frees up a good chunk of rack space in the process.
