Lyngdorf Cue‑100: Engineering Purity and Audiophile Performance

The Lyngdorf Cue‑100 is a high-end standmount loudspeaker that reflects Lyngdorf’s commitment to cutting-edge engineering, acoustic innovation, and Scandinavian design excellence. Developed and manufactured in Denmark, the Cue‑100 combines advanced Purifi driver technology with Lyngdorf’s in-house Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, all housed in an acoustically optimized cabinet designed to enhance sonic performance while integrating beautifully into modern interiors.

What Makes the Purifi Driver So Special?

At the heart of the Cue‑100 is a 6.5” PURIFI aluminum-cone driver, a revolutionary design developed by Purifi Audio — a Danish engineering firm known for their scientific approach to audio performance.

Unlike conventional midwoofers, the Purifi driver offers:

• Extremely low distortion across the entire frequency and excursion range, thanks to a proprietary low-modulation motor system
• Neutral Surround Geometry (NSG): a unique surround shape that eliminates geometric nonlinearity, preserving clarity even at high excursion
• Extended linear excursion: meaning the driver stays accurate over a wider range of movement, producing deeper bass with less compression
• Ultra-low hysteresis: reducing time-domain distortion and preserving the timing and transients in music

This advanced technology allows the Cue‑100 to reproduce subtle details and dynamic shifts with exceptional realism — a key reason why it sounds so transparent, even at low or high volumes.

Precision Tweeter: Lyngdorf’s Custom AMT

For high frequencies, Lyngdorf integrates a custom-designed Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter using a lightweight Kapton foil diaphragm and a powerful neodymium magnet system. The AMT tweeter delivers ultra-fast transient response and wide dispersion, contributing to the Cue‑100’s spacious, open soundstage and effortless treble detail.

Triangular Cabinet Design for Acoustic Integrity

The Cue‑100’s cabinet is a unique triangular enclosure built from 35 mm thick CNC-machined MDF. This geometry minimizes internal standing waves and reduces resonances, while the heavy construction ensures mechanical stability. Dual 6.5” side-mounted passive radiators extend low-frequency response without introducing the turbulence found in ported designs.

Real-World Flexibility

With 83 dB sensitivity and a 4-ohm impedance, the Cue‑100 benefits from being driven by a clean, powerful amplifier — especially when paired with Lyngdorf’s RoomPerfect™ room correction system. This makes it ideal for both acoustically optimized listening rooms and real-world living spaces.

The included stand raises the speaker to the ideal listening height, and a selection of finish options and optional Gabriel® fabric covers help the Cue‑100 blend seamlessly into any interior.
