Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

Hello All,
I’m coming up on 40 yrs in this hobby,and or obsession of ours,and I started with a pair of Khorns and Macintosh at the age of 12 and Offcourse owned a ton of different gear over the yrs.
I bought a 2170 a little more than 6 months ago and I enjoyed it so much that I quickly realized I don’t really need anything else,solid state,tubes,or even dac’s anymore.I could step off that silly merry go round of amplification and just enjoy music.I was able to utilize the extra money and time and put together a really great sounding network audio system that rivaled the best in analog that I have ever had,I was mainly a analog guy all of these yrs but finally gave it up,I even sold my longtime record collection of 3k records which included many Hot Stampers that I purchased and also several that I found on my own.

So who Luv’s the 2170 and is maybe also thinking about the new 3400.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

Damn you, KDude...this thread is making me want to spring for the Lyngdorf -- that I almost bought last year. But I continue to worry about how the inevitable file changes (e.q. MQA) would be handled or not. Components have always won with me because they require selective upgrading.
Also, had the experience with Class D amps not providing the kind of realistic tone weight necessary to nail acoustic instruments perfectly -- the cello is a good instrument to check. Can any of you pundits share your Lyngdorf experience here? KLH007 has stated that the Lyngdorf is not Class D but it seems a slightly improved variant to me after reading the description cited above.
And what's next, KDude? A thread on your new Lawrence Audio DB speakers? We'll all have to sell our Porsches...

Don't have a 2170 but am always working with subs and SVS and HSU are two of the top brands. SVS has the new DSP options well developed and HSU is spectacular with low frequency evenness down to 16hz.

Might be some used ones around in the $400 price range.

uberwaltz:

I have this sub and can attest to its even frequency response from 16 to 150hz and a tremendous amount of energy through the entire range. The two ports are tunable:

And its close to your price point.

BUT don't let me keep you from saving some funds...

Close, but not complete. The 64 foot stop on a pipe organ goes down to 8 cps.

But then again, there are only 2 or 3 of these organs left in the world. And they're hardly ever regulated well. And you can't hear it, of course. But it can make a tremendous shake.

SOOO...find a sub that will go this low and I suspect you'll be the only one on your block.

Your sub goes down to 14 hz -- which handles almost all musical instruments in the world save a few very large pipe organs that have pipes going down 6 cps more to 8 cps.

So your most excellent sub is close to handling all of the world's bass instruments, but not complete.

Did you read the rest of the text?
