Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170?

I recently moved house and went from a listening space that was pretty generous to my current setup (Cronus Magnum II + B&W 805D3s) to one where the soundstage sounds really flat and underwhelming. Because we watch a lot of movies, I’ve also been running an integrated (Rotel 1592) and using a splitter to switch between that and the Cronus depending on the source (music or movies).

It’s a lot of equipment and wires for a small space and, given how lackluster the sound is, I want to consolidate everything by leveling up to an integrated with room correction.

I’m stuck between an Anthem STR or a Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 (or 3400 if it’s leaps and bounds better than both).

Reviews and comments on both are equally impressive. Has anyone sampled both and have a POV on which I should go with?

As a music lover, in a similar situation, I have the same question, which led me to this thread. I’ve employed fine tube gear separates for decades but no longer have space nor temperament to do so. The many cables and closet-full of spare tubes in weighing me down.  :)

Once I eliminated the off-topic, self-important, pontificating bloviations about Naim, yada, yada, and "room treatments," and what you "should do", I gleaned some very useful information. Thanks for your initial post.

I am going to investigate the Lyngdorf, Anthem, Micromega, and DSPeaker.
