Lyngdorf's game, set and match
Danish brand's immersive audio processors finally find their equal
in this stunning eight-channel power amp, says Martin Dew
There are two crucial parts of the MXA-8400's makeup.
The first comprises the aforementioned Eigentakt Class D
modules from Purifi (of which Peter Lyngdorf is a co-founder).
In pursuit of a premium performance, the Purifi
Eigentakt amp sections must combine with the second
part of Lyngdorf's magic sauce, namely its 'PowerPerfect'
architecture.

Oephi Acoustics
Transcendance 2
stand-mount loudspeaker
You may have heard about Purifi drive units, one of the
designers of which is no lesser audio guru than Bruno
Putzeys, the man behind Hypex Class D modules and
Kii Audio among others. Purifi drivers have created quite a
buzz as a result but there are as yet not many loudspeakers
on the market that use them, the first we saw were the
Lyngdorf Cue 100s but this is the first I have had the chance
to hear at home. If the Transcendance 2 is any indication,
the hype was not for nothing.
Oephi Transcendence 2 with extra thrill power
The Oephi Transcendence 2 is an outstanding loudspeaker but one that asks the question: if this is right then are most other speakers wrong? This is largely a result of the flat high frequency response, something that the Kii Threes also do extremely well, but it does make for a less forgiving balance that means ancillaries and recordings are revealed to a greater extent than usual. I didn’t use anything particularly exotic in terms of electronics and played my usual mixed bag of music and the results were for the most part absolutely thrilling, in the Transcendence 2 Joakim has delivered a tremendous loudspeaker that while it won’t be to all tastes will be a revelation to many.

Lyngdorf Cue-100 - Benchmark-setting Purifi technology
Purifi from Denmark has set new benchmarks in speaker technology by creating ultra-low-distortion long-stroke 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. Lyngdorf’s own Air Motion Transformer extends this level of sound performance to the highest frequencies.

Troels Gravesen Purifi-6R: 2-way kit w/PTT6.5X & Viawave
Playing this rare Musica Nude vinyl recording, which I played hundreds of times, immediately made it clear this mid-woofer is special. Resolution was the first superlative that came to mind.
