Fyne Audio F502S vs KLH Concord Speaker Comparison

In this review, we will be comparing F502S and Concord, two Passive Floor-standing speakers from Fyne Audio and KLH.

Let's have a brief look at the main features of Fyne Audio F502S and KLH Concord first before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Drivers

One of the fundamental differences between these two speakers is that F502S is a 3-way design whereas the Concord is a 2-way speaker. 3-way designs utilize a midrange driver in addition to the tweeter and woofer on 2-way designs. Designing a crossover for a 3-way speaker is a complicated process and generally increases the overall cost of the speaker.

Driver Fyne Audio F502S KLH Concord
Driver Setup 3-way 2-way
Tweeter -inch 1-inch
Midrange - -
Woofer x -inch 2 x 6.5-inch

F502S features a " Tweeter and x " Woofer with a Crossover frequency at 250 Hz, 1700 Hz. On the other hand, the Concord features a 1" anodized aluminum Tweeter and 2 x 6.5" Kevlar Woofer.

Frequency Response

F502S has a frequency range of 30-34k Hz whereas Concord has a frequency range of 28-23k Hz. With a minimum frequency of 28Hz, the Concord can go slightly deeper then the F502S's min frequency of 30Hz.

The graph below depicts how these two speakers compare with the max, min and average Low Frequency values of other speakers in the Floor-standing class in our database.

Neither pair reaches down to 20Hz, the usual definition of full-range, which is normal for speakers of this size. If you want the bottom octave for movies or bass-heavy music, add a subwoofer to whichever you choose. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.

Impedance and Sensitivity

F502S and Concord have the same Impedance of 8 ohms but where they differ is the sensitivity levels. F502S sensitivity is rated at 91 dB and the Concord's is at 94 dB. This 3 dB difference makes the KLH Concord a more sensitive speaker compared to Fyne Audio F502S, hence will play louder with the same amount of watts.

Physical Specs

The size of a speaker can sometimes be an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare Fyne Audio F502S's and KLH Concord's external dimensions. Fyne Audio F502S has external dimensions of 1112.5 x 299.7 x 381.0mm (43.8 x 11.8 x 15inch) whereas KLH Concord has external dimensions of 1026.0 x 212.0 x 380.0mm (40-3/8 x 8-5/16 x 14-15/16inch).

Fyne Audio F502S is clearly the larger of the two speakers. Its body is 87.7mm wider, 86.5mm taller and 1mm deeper than KLH Concord.

Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited. The base surface area of the Fyne Audio F502S is approximately 1141.9cm2 / 177.0inch2 and base area of the KLH Concord is approximately 805.6cm2 / 124.9inch2. The F502S requires 42% more surface area than the Concord which gives it a small disadvantage on placement in tight spaces.

Weight Comparison

The weight of a loudspeaker can become an important factor if you need to move and reposition the unit often. Weight of a speaker can also "sometimes" be an indicator of the rigidity of the enclosure and the quality of the internal components used. The Fyne Audio F502S weighs 28.49kg / 62.7lbs and the KLH Concord weighs 20.45kg / 45lbs. This makes the F502S 39% heavier than the Concord.

Here is a comparison of how F502S and Concord's weights compare with the average, max and min weights in Passive Floor-standing class.

Verdict

These sit in different price classes - Fyne Audio F502S costs roughly 3.5x what KLH Concord does. Expect it to lead on paper; the question is whether the gap is audible enough in your room to be worth it.

AreaBetterWhy
Bass evenly matched Much the same reach (30Hz vs 28Hz).
Amplifier needs B KLH Concord is more sensitive (94dB vs 91dB), so it goes louder on the same amplifier.
Size depends KLH Concord is easier to place; Fyne Audio F502S is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides.
Price B KLH Concord is cheaper - $1,000 against $3,499, about 71% less; arguably a different class.

A Fyne Audio F502S   B KLH Concord
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, placement or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.

Which should you choose?

KLH Concord has the edge on paper, though the margin is not large. The rows marked "depends" may matter more to you than the score does. In a large or open-plan room, Fyne Audio F502S has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, KLH Concord is the easier speaker to get right. If your amplifier is modest, vintage or valve-based, KLH Concord is the safer partner - the other will want more current or more watts to sound its best.

And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
