Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

It has definitely been my experience that power conditioners and surge suppressors rob equipment of musical quality, power and control. It is very audible through Lejonklou gear. Its so strange, though, that when I had originally hooked the Tundra up with the LS5/9s (and my mind was blown!), it was...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra Tarandus 2.2 Ser# 11 NO LONGER FOR SALE

Tundra is no longer for sale. I'm gonna keep it a little longer in my system at least.

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

Ok, guys, an update that I'm sure you were dying to hear... So I'd taken the Tundra out of my system, put it back in, taken it out, and finally put it back in again after getting the Bryston. I've made a few changes to the system in terms of simplicity since then, including removing a High Fidelity ...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

Are you aware that there is this Tune Dem method to evaluate differences between components and setups? We use this method here for evaluation. You used words in your description that made me believe you are not using the tune dem method. Hi Defender, No harm done. Please link to the information on...

A good recommendation, but after splurging on those Graham speakers, I cannot afford a new set of Tundra monos. Maybe someone wants to sell me their used pair?

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

I found the LS5/9s (87db sensitivity) more difficult to drive than the five-way passive Linn Akubariks, in terms of how far I had to crank up the volume level. In comparison, the LS5/8 (89db) was a little easier than the LS5/9. So I'm guessing that the LS5/5 (88db) might be in between, but still ea...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

Some of your statements in your post make me believe you use a different evaluation method than most of us do. There is the possibility that you misinterpret the harmonic distortion that your tube amps likely induce into your system as perceived sound stage. I really didn't come to this forum to 's...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra Tarandus 2.2 Ser# 11 FOR SALE

Best of luck with your sale and congrats with your new Graham 5/5s - fantastic speakers. Thanks for the reply. I'd like to see the LS5/5s get some attention from Hifi-Advice website in the near future. I'd imagine they're far enough from the LS5/8s in design as to warrant a separate review in his s...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

The equilateral triangle idea for positioning loudspeakers is indeed a recipy for disaster. I can't believe how it has survived all these years. Sorry to hear that a Tundra doesn't drive the LS5/5's to high enough levels in your room (loudness is very room dependent). How efficient are they? You're...

Lejonklou Tundra Tarandus 2.2 Ser# 11 NO LONGER FOR SALE

Love this amplifier, but it is not powerful enough for my new 3-way Graham LS 5/5s. Was a WONDERFUL match with smaller 2-way LS 5/9s, though. It is version 2.2 and is not upgradeable. I've never heard the 2.5 version, but it's hard to imagine it being THAT much better. I believe it works at all volt...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

I've been using the speakers in a relatively large room but in nearfield/midfield setup approximately 90" from the tweeters, equilateral triangle. And it appears that one Tundra is NOT powerful enough for the 3-way LS5/5s, so I will be listing it for sale here. Too bad, but it should go to a new own...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

I assume the two of you are referring to the LS5/5s (and not the LS5/9s). I'd like to add that the LS5/5s are exquisite speakers with all of the amplification I've tried with them thus far. Absolutely enchanting vocal reproduction unlike anything I've ever heard. Full range to 40hz or lower. For suc...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

I had sold the Harbeth 30.2s before getting the Lejonklou Tundra. The Tundra + Graham LS 5/9 was revelatory -- the most perfect match I've had yet. I had been using a variety of amps prior to the Tundra, including Ayre v5xe, BAT VK220, 100wpc 6550 monoblocks. Now, I just upgraded my speakers to newe...

Re: Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

Answered my own question by trial and error. Tundra stereo version will drive the Graham Audio LS5/9s which are very similar to Harbeth 30.2s. No issues here.

Re: Boazu and LS3/5A ?

I have Graham LS5/9s at the moment. Just hooked up the Tundra stereo amp to drive them last night (found one used), and it had no problem driving them well past comfortable listening levels. I was surprised and relieved!

Lejonklou Tundra 2.2 Compatibility Question

Hi all, New to the forum. Considering purchase of Tundra 2.2, but wondering if compatibility with my preamp or speakers will be sub-optimal. Have an EAR Yoshino 868L preamp which puts out 5 volts and 600 ohms into balanced or unbalanced output. Too much for Tundra? Also, will Tundra power my Harbeth...
