Lyngdorf - New System

I’m looking for input/thoughts on a new system. I’m planning on setting up a small 2nd system in a condo. The condo is about 1,000 sq ft with floor to ceiling glass on two walls. The floor and most of the ceiling is concrete (some drywall with different elevations). I will have a couple of large rugs on the floor. I’m planning on getting a LG 77" oled (not sure of which model - C9, CX, or GX). For audio I’m planning on using a pair of Magico A3’s that I already own. I would like to keep the system clean and simple. My current (primary) system is analog and I’m thinking about making the jump to streaming with the condo system. I thought a Lyngdorf may be a good solution - but unsure.  I'm only going off what I have read.

I want to have the tv audio run through the 2.0 system (no sub - condo life) and use the dac built in the Lyngdorf. I don’t know which Lyngdorf unit would be best suited for this set-up. Additionally, I don’t know if this system will be satisfying. I have not heard a Lyngdorf system and don’t have the availability to readily hear one. I haven’t seen anyone comment on the synergies or lack there of with a Lyngdorf and Magico mating. If the combination is a good one - thoughts on speaker cables?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I had tried Lyngdorf 2170 with Lansche 4.1 and Vaughn Cabernet speakers.

It worked pretty well with latter but not with the former too bright sounding.

Now I use Line Magnetic 508 SET with former.

But it has lot of presets in addition to room perfect function.

Thus you can apply those presets depending on music and your mood to fine tune the sound.

Room perfect make speaker sound more transparent and deeper soundstage.

It is going to spare lot of space since you do not need Dac, pre, Power ampss.

2170 has no streaming function but you can get Cocktail Audio X30 which can store ripped CD and do streaming.

But you never know until you try 2170 with your Magico A3 in your room

If you are not sure, then one way is to get used one.

Even if you do not like it, you can incur less loss at selling used one.

I also got two year old used one but it had been working fine for another two years.
