Lyngdorf Audio Cue-100
The Cue-100 makes a striking case for full-range bass from a sculptural standmount: its Purifi-powered low end reaches deep and stays controlled, while the AMT delivers airy treble, open vocals and a wide, layered soundstage. Soundnews found its presentation fluid and elegantly smooth; this is an immersive Danish design statement with serious dynamic composure.

Pros
Deep, articulate and musical bass gives the compact design convincing full-range authority.
Transparent, natural midrange and refined AMT treble reveal voices and fine detail without harshness.
Wide, deep imaging lets the speakers disappear into an immersive, precisely layered soundstage.
Cons
Its 83dB sensitivity benefits from a powerful amplifier to achieve its best performance.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 94/100
Reviewers consistently describe an exceptionally balanced, transparent and musically involving presentation, combining a surprisingly full low end with refined treble and expansive imaging. It is demanding of amplifier power and has finite ultimate output, but within sensible listening levels it is repeatedly praised for its realism, control and ease.
Bass
95/100
Multiple reviewers found the bass remarkably deep, weighty and articulate for the compact enclosure, with The Ear calling 35Hz conservative and praising its terrific yet musical heft. Soundnews similarly heard low rumble without bloat even at higher volumes, although Stjernholm Reviews found that extreme bass-heavy material at very high levels could push the woofers to their limits.
Mid
94/100
The midrange is widely praised for clarity, neutrality and natural timbre. Best of High End found guitars clean and free of grain, while Soundnews placed vocal clarity among the best it had heard; Stjernholm Reviews also singled out voices as especially impressive.
Treble
94/100
The AMT treble is repeatedly described as airy, detailed and smooth rather than aggressive. The Ear noted a rare degree of airiness, Soundnews found it refined and forgiving, and Stjernholm Reviews reported that it remained composed even on demanding recordings.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Reviewers report a wide, deep and precisely layered presentation that lets the cabinets effectively disappear. Best of High End heard an unexpectedly wide and deep stage, while The Ear described a cinematic stage wider than the room; Soundnews notes a slightly laid-back perspective rather than an overtly forward one.
Dynamics
91/100
The Cue-100 scales convincingly with volume and demanding material, with Best of High End hearing no restraint at realistic live levels and Soundnews praising fatigue-free dynamic swings. Stjernholm Reviews also found strong headroom, but noted comparatively less fine microdynamic texture than a Raidho TD 1.2 and exposed ultimate bass-output limits.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
95/100
Construction receives unequivocal praise, from Like Hifi's “perfect craftsmanship” to Best of High End's assessment of exceptional build quality and a very solid enclosure. Reviews also point to the substantial MDF cabinet work, carefully integrated passive radiators, quality driver hardware and discreetly mounted gold-plated terminals.
Value for Money
90/100
At roughly €20,000 per pair, or £18,998 in the UK, the Cue-100 is firmly a premium purchase rather than an inexpensive route to high-end sound. Soundnews explicitly awarded value 95/100, while the other reviews chiefly document the asking price rather than making detailed comparisons with direct rivals.

Manufacturer's Description — Lyngdorf Audio
A high-end design loudspeaker from Lyngdorf Audio
While digital amplifiers are the DNA of Lyngdorf Audio, loudspeakers are part of the company since its foundation. The Cue-100 is another milestone in Lyngdorf Audio’s speaker history. This high-end audio loudspeaker merges modern Danish design with the latest and best speaker technology. Designed and made at Lyngdorf Audio in Skive, Denmark, the Cue-100 is the perfect loudspeaker for audiophile enthusiasts as well as design-conscious music lovers.
Benchmark-setting Purifi USHINDI technology
Purifi from Denmark has set new benchmarks in speaker technology by creating ultra-low-distortion long-stroke USHINDI woofers. Purifi achieves the market’s lowest distortion, highest sound purity, and overall best measured performance. Several innovative technologies were developed to achieve this result. The most recognizable is the Neutral Surround Geometry, where the ring shape consists of alternating mountain ridges. The result of such ultra-low-distortion: Outstanding sound purity and a detail resolution never heard before. The Cue-100 uses Purifi USHINDI drivers equipped with a deep anodized aluminum cone for the most open and detailed music reproduction. Lyngdorf Audio’s Air Motion Transformer extends this level of sound performance to the highest frequencies.
Advanced acoustic design and solid wood base
The unique triangle shape consists of three tapered and slightly rounded sides machined from 35mm thick, CNC-machined MDF. This design reduces resonance and internal standing waves, while giving the speaker a slender appearance when viewed from the listening angle. The base is machined from solid oak or MDF and increases the rigidity further. With four different cabinet combinations and five different optional fabric covers made by Gabriel from Denmark, the Cue-100 is customizable in 24 different color combinations.
The perfect match for any room shape or size
When using the Cue-100 together with a Lyngdorf TDAI amplifier or MP multichannel processor, the company’s own RoomPerfect™ technology acoustically adapts the Cue-100 to the room, always achieving the best possible sound performance in a given room. RoomPerfect™ also allows an unusually high degree of freedom when placing the speakers in the room, meeting the highest demands in interieur design as well as high-end-audio.
