Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system


I'm thinking about jumping in and going with a Steinway Lyngdorf Model B speaker / amp / controller system. They have the same philosophy towards sound as I have, active, crossover inside the amp, DSP controlled, upgradeable, designed as a complete system, among other things. Does anyone have any listening experience with the Steinway Model B?

@donavabdear , I am very familiar with their processor. It has been antiquated for quite a while now. Their equipment is severely over priced. You can do much better for less money.

The best processor/preamp on the market is going to be the DEQX Pre 8 which is going to be released shortly. It has way more flexibility and 4 crossovers. You can really go to town with that. Get a Parasound JC 1+ and you can drive any speaker ever made. It is eons better then the class D Amp in the Steinways.

If you want Dipole Speakers you should get Magneplanar 20.7s.  If you want to go up from there then Sound Labs.  Then you get the added benefit of line source speakers that project power better and throw a larger more life like image. They also interact with the room less limiting the need for extensive acoustic treatment.
