Seems like the Akudoriks are picking up accolades for their improved bass response. That's encouraging.
Linn's speaker designer, Phil Budd elaborates on the reasons for this:

Thanks for a meaty synopsis/ review, Neil Now the Tundra Mono2 is in the UK, an audition is definitely in order. It certainly seems that, for those such as myself that can't yet stretch budget to a floorstander, the Akudorik/ Tundra Mono2 combination is going to be a strong seller. Could you elabora...

Sound Hound (Spud Goodwin on eB) has his black one currently bubbling under £1K atm.

We are gagging here....... c'mon. Feed !

An update from me is coming within a day or so.

ML - I'm surely not alone in saying that your thoughts on the Tundra Mono2s would be read with avid interest.
[In the relevant thread, of course]

Overall, much more cohesive. The product line now shares equal 'real estate' with the forum, and that is a good thing.

I'm sure there will be minor tweaks to implement over the next few weeks but well done, Fredrik and anyone else that was involved.

I didn't realize until just now.

P a r t y !

I realise it's still early days, but obtaining a satisfactory level of ExaKt is beginning to look like a similar issue with the Sondek. In that there are a handful of recognised fettlers that owners migrate towards - often involving long distance or international travel - and several other dealers a...

Very interesting. Thanks, both for your thoughts. Looks like I get to fulfill both aesthetic and aural wishes, then. That's good. Music Lover, fyi - I consider myself very fortunate to have a pair of K-200 made up by Fredrik last summer. Prior to that I was an obedient advocate of K-400, albeit both...

At home I used to have Tundras by the other electronics, with an original 1.2 m Linn Silver (new model pair, good but not best) into Tundra and about 4 m K200 to speakers (212). The alternative was 4 m of Linn black interconnect (that i soldered myself) to Tundra, positioned in between the speakers...

Superb analysis, Erik - thank you.
It seems that the previous comparisons to Linn's K range are about to become unnecessary. Exciting times for Lejonklou. More than ever before, I'm really keen to hear a pair now.

Dave, hi
Are you based in London, by any chance?

I have a cherry pair, Nr Mint with box - albeit in a storage facility, north Acton.

Just sent you a PM, Richard

Welcome to the forum, Richard
I have a Treble card available should you find a separate Bass.

Activ Katans are superb, really zingy. I'm now using mine as multichannel rears, and when I move back to my home, they'll be in the office.
Best wishes,

I want to say how much I appreciate Charlie1 and Frederick being themselves - whole, complete and awesome people. Second that. Having migrated from the Linn forum, the first thing I noticed here was the refreshing sense of willing to discuss the quality of music reproduction, irrespective of brand....

Seasonal special - new Linn moving coil / reduced price to £299 for Lejonklou forum members.

So interesting, Fredrik

1.2kg sounds like a lot of copper..... is it?
And are the unit box sizes the same?

Best wishes for the upcoming audition sessions.

kr,

hi Adrian - sending a PM shortly... best

hi Adrian,
Should you manage to source a Bass card, I have a Treble for sale.

Seems so :)

ThomasOK wrote:Fredrik is calling it Tundra Mono 2 and not 1.2 or similar I expect the improvement will not be small. Older units will be upgradeable as usual.

From what I've been told .. a significant improvement in musicality, dynamics and control... I expect the improvement will not be small. Older units will be upgradeable as usual. Great news. Hope to read what folks thought from the sneak preview at LYD. Thanks for the update Tom, and for the ongoin...

TUNDRA MONO 2

daaaammmm....... What does this mean ???
More power.... more refined 'something else'..... what !

Charlie - there's a very decent retailer up in Dundee who offers a loan service should you be interested in trying out any of the Isol-8 units. I'd be happy to make the intro if you like..
