advice for speakers both 300B SET and home theater friendly
Sorry, missed the $1000 budget. DIs are out of your budget. Certainly buy used. Check these out.....https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8gj21-kirksaeter-silverline-220-full-range 
Directional?
I mark the direction of the cables I build for one reason. So once burned in if the owner pulls them off and back on he can be sure he is putting them back  in the same direction the signal originally burned in the cable.

Tekton DI for sure.   Exactly made  for both your needs.

I wish I still had mine with battery power supply.  
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Yes indeed many have sold their 5 figure speakers for the DI.  They really are a fine speaker for $3000 and can be upgraded to sound far more refined.   
New or Old CD Player?

Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
My speakers are not there.  The musicians play in space before me. So realistic it shocks me weekly. Maybe my current speakers play a role also.  The RP in the Lyngdorf is not like others, but in a league of its own.  The Focus/listening position ...

The also use a Core Power Tech conditioner. Remember the 2170 only pulls perhaps 20-30 watts when operating. I use mine with a CPT Equicore 150. All that is needed. The 1800 is a great unit! @radiohead99 you have  all you need and more 😊The new 34...

Easy tweaks that the 2170 loves.  Good USB cable such as the Phasure LUSH. Good power conditioning and power cord.  She does respond to it.

My wire of choice for this unit includes the Phasure Lush USB, my own DIY USB, and a musical power cord such as one made with Furutech  FP-SO22N Nano AuAg 14 AWG Power Cable and high quality connectors.

I really don’t want to do so on this thread. The unit sounds amazing without it. I don’t want to derail it. It is only for folks who are willing to nullify the warranty, spend at least $300 - $500, and have advanced skills. It requires taking apar... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I also asked Tim to sell a $99 portion.  This is really a must for Audiophile use, at least if one want to boost sales dramatically. Perhaps he has no desire based on other industry opportunities which are much larger. I could see that.

@essrand Great! Please remember that the unit does not sound it’s best until being on 12 hours. I leave mine fully on, not in standby. The mids and overal tone improve noticeably. This is not a small point and one owners should be aware of. There ... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Agreed.  Easy to go in with others however. I paid the $300 and the three others paid me $75 each.   I just used my portion and quickly sent the kit to another and so on and so on....

I use Roon with the 2170 perfectly. Love Roon with Tidal. Great combo for sure. I understand the newer features are wonderful.  Hope the more powerful unit is as musical.
