Seller's Description

PREOWNED – FULLY TESTED – PRICED PER SPEAKER IN WHITE – COMPLETE

The active BW-2 is designed as a high bandwidth subwoofer with the objective of reproducing music and soundtracks with full dynamics and precision. The minimalistic – ‘form follows function’ design ensures that all resources are focused on the best possible sound reproduction.

The frequency range of the BW-2 goes up to 800 Hz in “bypass” mode, in contrast to traditional subwoofers, which are typically limited to 120 Hz. In other words, this is a driver that follows the signal with extreme precision. It therefore can actually play music and not just the low-end rumble and explosions of an action movie.

Easy to integrate

The BW-2 is designed with a focus on discretion. Available in high-gloss black or matte white – allowing for seamless integration in any contemporary interior. It can be positioned standing upright or on the side in order to fit into the available space. This also makes it the perfect match for any stereo or home cinema system.

Refined Class D power

The internal amplifier is our own Class-D design based on our more than 15 years of experience in designing audiophile Class-D amplifiers. With an output of 400 watts it can deliver ample power to control the driver even at extreme levels.

More than a subwoofer

The BW-2 has two input modes. If you set it to “Line in,” it can be used with conventional amplifiers and processors and has a frequency range from 25 to 200 Hz. As with regular subwoofers, you have control over level, frequency range, and phase adjustment. If you have a Lyngdorf Audio amplifier, you can bypass the internal filters. Now the frequency range goes up to 800 Hz, and you can use the BW-2 as a boundary woofer to lift the performance of your system to a new level.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At $1,200 for an unknown-condition BW-2, this feels ambitious bordering on steep—new ones have commanded $2,000-$2,500 in recent specialist listings, but solid used pairs often trade hands for $1,600-$2,000 total, putting a single at around $800-$1,100 if it's clean and recent. Without condition details, you're gambling on cosmetics or worse; I'd counter hard below $1,000 or walk unless photos scream mint.

Prioritize verifying the Class-D amp's health—test for clean output at volume, as these can hum or clip if overdriven historically. Confirm bypass mode works fully for Lyngdorf integration, and insist on original power cord, manual, and RCA cable; no feet or spikes? Red flag on a boundary woofer like this. Age it via serial if possible—early 2010s builds show driver wear faster.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Lyngdorf Audio

Lyngdorf Audio was founded in 2005 by Danish audio innovator Peter Lyngdorf, who brought decades of industry experience to the venture. Lyngdorf's career in high-fidelity began in 1975 as a distributor of home entertainment components, followed by the establishment of HiFi Klubben, a Northern European retail chain, and the creation of DALI (Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries) in 1983. This heritage of audio entrepreneurship and technical expertise informed the company's mission to achieve absolute perfection in sound reproduction through advanced research and development.

Lyngdorf Audio specializes in high-end digital amplifiers, preamplifiers, and surround processors built around proprietary technologies including the Equibit digital amplification system and RoomPerfect room correction software. The company is known for pioneering fully digital amplification and for integrating sophisticated digital signal processing into premium audio systems. Their product philosophy emphasizes the transformation of digital audio data directly into optimized speaker-driving signals, eliminating traditional analog conversion stages.

The brand occupies the luxury segment of the high-end audio market, positioning itself among the world's most sophisticated audio manufacturers. This positioning was solidified in 2007 when Steinway & Sons, the legendary piano maker, granted Lyngdorf exclusive rights to develop audio systems under the Steinway Lyngdorf brand name. Today, Lyngdorf Audio operates as part of the broader Steinway Lyngdorf portfolio, serving discerning audiophiles and professionals who prioritize cutting-edge digital technology and meticulous sound reproduction over conventional amplification approaches.
