It looks like the room correction on the Lyngdorf works the best also 8k.

The Acurus warranty is far superior than any other brand and USA made.

maxwave you have the act 4 how simple was it to calibrate and set it up?

the Lyngdorf has 5 2.1 hdmi in and 2 out

the Acurus has 8 21. ready in and one out

I'm still torn between the 2 units with Anthem AVM 90 close behind

What do you think?

@maxwave 

I ordered the Lyngdorf mp-60 2.1

After convercing with the Acurus sales rep about the ACT 4 vs the Lyngdorf he stated that the Lyngdorf was not hardware and software upgradeable, which is false (Lyngdorf contacted me and stated that their product is in fact both hardware and software upgradeable). That statement by the rep made my mind up, you should at least be truthful about the products and rely on the quality of your products to sell themselves.

I was just wondering what changed your mind about the Acurus ACT 4 in a previous post you stated that if you could return the unit for what you paid for it you would look at the other options you listed.

Thanks

@maxwave 

I'll let you know when I decide. I'm waiting to hear on a time frame for the 8k 2.1, the DTS X Pro , and IMAX Enhance features will be added to the ACT 4.

@maxwave 

The sales VP just sent me this.

The 2.1 board is already installed in the ACT 4 and Muse processors. We are just waiting for the firmware to be released by MDS. 

DTS X Pro and IMAX will be available late 2nd or early 3rd quarter.

It looks like the  Acurus ACT 4 might be be my choice. Was the setup and manuel speaker calibration not too complicated?

@maxwave 

please show me the global eq.

I'm not in a big rush so when I do buy I will not take delivery until all of the updates are available and installed. Are you a hockey guy?

Thanks

Dave

@maxwave 

I had an email conversation with IAL sales vp his inacurate statement led me to Lyngdorf. Will do once I receive it ,set it up,calibrate and burn in.

@maxwave 

Sounds like the Lyngdorf might be my best choice 

I’m still torn between the two 

@maxwave 

The Acurus is both hardware and software upgradeable I don’t think that the lyngdorf is and neither is McIntosh I don’t feel like having to buy new equipment every few years 

@maxwave 

I have all separates now the Lexicon mc12b

dynaudio speakers

Vidikron model 60 which will be upgraded to the 

JVC NZ8 laser projector I’m looking for sound quality along with 8k 2.1 hdmi 

or 4k with being able to upgrade to 8k the Lexicon is component out no hdmi

@maxwave 

So your thoughts are the Lyndorf over the Acurus  

@maxwave 

I don't need the phono stage.

My thoughts were that the Acurus is both hardware and software upgradeable I don't think the Lyngdorf is I don't want to have to keep buying new units every few years. 

@maxwave 

Thanks for all the input it looks like I'm being steered towards the Lyngdorf rather than the Acurus. I'm going to take all the advice I've been given and go that route.

Thanks again
