Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???


I'm seriously thinking about dumping ALL my HiFi gear and settling on a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 and a pair of KEF LS50 Metas and be done with it......Current system is Node2i/Gustard X16 DAC/ Schiit Freya Preamp/ VTA Dynaco ST120 Tube or First Watt F5v2 Class A or ICE Power 200 Class D or Yamaha M45 Class A/AB.......With LS50 Metas. 

 I'm really intrigued with the whole Lyngdorf thing of room correction, full digital nearly end to end, all in one, fantastic GUI, and about 1/2 of what I have invested $$

 Might see if a dealer will let me try one.....

The problem is the inability to audition in your own environment on your own time. And with certain products needing break-in, this can be a prolonged time. 

Before you jump into Dirac, you really need to look at "Room Perfect".....Simply amazing reviews and seems to make more technical sense than all other automatic room corrections. This Lyngdorf's circuit design is really neat also. Pretty amazing piece of equipment for around $2500....

 

Have you considered KEF LS50 Wireless II’s? If you’re going for simplicity, they are definitely fits the bill.

Not a big fan of power speakers for a main system.....I have KEF LS50 Metas. I had other speakers (Magnapan, Klipsch, B&W, ) and sold them all. The LS50s are freak’n amazing! I’ve been in the business for over 50 years and in all that time very few speakers impressed me as much as these KEF LS50 Metas....Magnepans, Dahlquest DQ10s, B&O 60s, .......All have one thing in common. Driver phase correction. I think speaker phase "distortion" is greatly misunderstood and not considered in most every design. These tall tower speakers that every single speaker manufacturer is building, to my ears, are horrible. The distance from the bottom driver to the top is huge. The time alignment is impossible. And it has been proven time and time again that you can’t get two drivers, operating in the same frequency, to react at exactly the same time.....and they cancel out certain frequencies.....Not to mention what a "Line Array" does to dispersion and imaging....And then add a VERY complicated crossover RIGHT BEFORE THE DRIVERS trying to correct this mess......I have a couple friends that after listening to KEF LS50 Metas, sold their tower speakers costing upwards of ten times and bought LS50 Metas.....I receive calls weekly on how happy they are with their $1600 speakers.....

 

Recently I'm driving them with an 8 w/ch tube amplifier and loving it! Usually I'm running them with 50 w/vh Pass Labs First Watt....
