Introducing the Lyngdorf FR-2: A Floor-Standing Speaker Perfectly Designed for Wall Placement
When it comes to audio performance and aesthetic integration, the new Lyngdorf FR-2 floor-standing speaker sets a new standard. Specifically designed to be placed against a wall, the FR-2 offers outstanding sound quality while seamlessly fitting into any modern home. This innovative speaker by Lyngdorf Audio is a top choice for audio enthusiasts seeking both high performance and design that complements their living space.
The FR-2 is specially tuned for optimal performance near a wall, making it ideal for contemporary interiors where space is at a premium. Unlike conventional floor-standing speakers that need room behind them for ideal sound, the FR-2’s shallow cabinet design leverages wall acoustics to enhance sound quality. Placing the speaker close to the wall helps create a tight, powerful bass that enhances low-frequency response and provides immersive sound.
At the heart of the FR-2 are high-performance components that ensure clarity and depth across a full range of sounds. The speaker features two 6.5-inch woofers with die-cast aluminum baskets, lightweight aluminum cones, and robust magnets, all contributing to exceptional efficiency and minimal distortion. Additionally, the soft-dome tweeter with a powerful magnet guarantees rich detail in high frequencies. The downward-facing bass reflex port enhances bass performance and maintains an ideal floor boundary, hiding it from view to keep the design sleek.
Lyngdorf Audio has crafted the FR-2 to offer both visual and acoustic appeal. The speaker’s shallow design, rounded edges, and choice of three satin-matte colors allow it to blend effortlessly into any room. Its exchangeable fabric covers—sourced from Danish fabric specialist Gabriel—offer a customizable look, and the option to mount the speaker on the wall makes it ideal for rooms where floor space is limited.
A major milestone for Lyngdorf Audio, the FR-2 is the brand’s 18th speaker model and a hallmark of their new in-house cabinet production and lacquering facility in Denmark. With this shift to local manufacturing, Lyngdorf ensures high-quality craftsmanship and finishes on each FR-2 speaker. This attention to detail is part of Lyngdorf’s ongoing commitment to innovation in audio solutions, following the success of their Cue-100 and drawing from experience in their Steinway & Sons range.
The FR-2’s debut at the prestigious Audio Video Show 2024 in Warsaw, Poland, underscores Lyngdorf Audio’s position as an industry leader. The FR-2 will be available starting November 2024, promising to enhance audio experiences worldwide with its unique blend of functionality, design, and sound quality.
Lyngdorf Audio’s team shares a strong belief in the FR-2’s potential to redefine floor-standing speaker design. According to Anker Haldan, CCO, the FR-2 “elevates the on-wall concept” for Lyngdorf, offering a stylish yet functional solution that appeals to both modern design and sound quality enthusiasts.
Roland Hoffmann, Product Marketing Director, highlights how the FR-2 diverges from conventional box speakers, embracing an elegant form that prioritizes both room aesthetics and acoustics. Mechanical Designer Brian Nielsen also contributed to the FR-2’s signature look, ensuring that the speaker’s fabric grill blends smoothly into the design for a cohesive, slim profile.
The FR-2 is not just a speaker; it’s a thoughtfully designed, performance-driven audio solution. Whether you’re an audiophile, a design enthusiast, or simply someone looking to enhance your living space with high-quality sound, the FR-2 offers:
With the Lyngdorf FR-2, experience sound as it was meant to be heard—powerful, immersive, and seamlessly integrated into your home.
The Lyngdorf FR-2 Speakers are set to retail for £3999 a pair.

Ortofon’s MC X Series represents a new wave in high-fidelity vinyl playback. Building on the solid foundation of the Quintet range, this series introduces a more refined, high-performance line of moving coil (MC) cartridges—all designed and assembled in Denmark.
While the models share core design elements—such as a honeycomb stainless-steel body, silver-plated pure copper coils, and a refined magnet system—the key differences lie in stylus shape, cantilever material, and sonic character. These factors have a profound effect on how the cartridge interacts with the grooves and conveys the music.
Let’s break down the differences between the MC X10, X20, X30, and X40 to help you choose the model that suits your setup and listening preferences.
