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

I recently sold my 2170 after buying inefficient speakers and already miss it. It is everything Kdude66 and Grannyring say it is and I see a 3400 in my near future. I will compare it against a complete PS Audio separates stack (Directstream/BHK Preamp/BHK250)...Probably a few months from now. The  convenience, sonics, customization, voicings, and bass management are awesome.  The things I'm most excited about in the 3400 are xlr outs and onboard streaming capability. I'm just hoping the sonic signature stays the same as the 2170. If so, the 3400 is an end game product.

Typically I’m not someone who posts about new audio items as most have a love affair with any new piece of audio equipment but I was a longstanding 2170 owner and my 3400 showed up today(Big thank you to Tony Barnette at Ellington Hifi for somehow getting me a unit when they are seriously backed up on orders). I was using my 2170 in a mixed use 2.2 channel theater and audio setup and really loved the functionality and sonics. 
   Just opening the 3400 I wanted to post about what extras you get. I think most people know there is a streamer (haven’t used yet) but some not so obvious upgrades includes both rca and xlr outputs which is great for my subs. While on the subject of subs the 2170 blended them totally seamlessly and simply and I’m sure the 3400 will be the same. There is an aes/ebu input which is perfect for my Aurender N10. There are headphone inputs as well, the remote is a step up and more ergonomically set up for right handed use. What’s really cool is the Lyngdorf app allows total control of the 3400 so no remote needed. USB module is standard as opposed to an upgrade and the display is bigger and easier to read at a distance. I’m sure I’m missing a bunch but wanted to touch on those differences for those choosing between them. Too early to compare sonics between the 2 units but even after a few hours the 3400 sounds eerily similar to the 2170 but it has better control of my Vandersteens. Honestly, this is a piece worth getting excited over.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching action movies through the action movie voicing on the 2170. Elevates the experience even closer to feeling like you're at the theater.

I’m using the Vandersteen Treo CT’s. I don’t want to make any premature comments on sonics until everything has 2-3 weeks of burn in and settle time but will do it for sure.

As a former 2170 owner and now owning a 3400, I can say after owning it for a month both sonically and feature wise, it is a step forward. You still get the great midrange tone but with improved control of the bottom end (if your speakers are hard to drive). I haven’t even scratched the surface of the enhanced features yet and looking forward to it. My biggest compliment is that I have been waiting to run roomperfect until I have everything dialed in as much as I can...It’s been over a month now and I haven’t even had a desire to run roomperfect yet. It is that enjoyable even without it.
