Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Received my TDAI-3400 today.  It's a very well thought out device and very easy to setup with Room Perfect. I did 4 measurements to get to 96%.  The sound quality did improve subtlety in the bass and the delineation between instruments improved no...

@mr_m Oh, yes I completely agree with that, I think I misunderstood you.  I thought you were saying that the effect was caused by vinyl playback, but yes I agree the signal was transferred from tape to vinyl absolutely.  I must say it's pretty imp...

@mr_m I asked my buddy who mastered the digital recording off the original vinyl with a very refined vinyl analog playback/ADC recording setup and he said it was mastertape print-through since I was hearing the next line in the song before it actu...

@charles1dad Yes, they are a very worthy upgrade. Where else can you get a manufacturer that gives you more than 50% of the speaker’s price tag just in drivers and the crossover parts alone? It’s unheard of! You’re lucky to get $2000 in total part...

The array goes a full octave lower. The array is very transparent, very resolute, exceedingly dynamic, and effortless in it's presentation from 300hz-20khz. There's nothing in the way between you and the music, no film, no grunge, no struggling.  ...

@grey9hound Yes, I’ve heard that too with Lyngdorf, duly noted. I’ve heard you can put the speakers against the front wall with the Lyngdorf, but that’s crazytalk. The Encores are rear ported and I’ve got an obstruction in the way regardless. Just... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Greetings, I ordered my TDAI-3400 on Labor Day from Sound Science.  Neal was super professional and expediant getting my order place immediately for me directly with Lyngdorf as soon as I got off the phone with him.  I was told to expect the unit ...

@david_ten Yeah, I guess it just feels nearfield because I cant pull them out further or put the listening position further away.  They completely dissappear though and the depth and soundstage are as good as I could hope for.

@evolvist I just wish I had an extra 10 feet to give these speakers more room behind them and more room behind my listening position to get better depth and addedambiance. MY LYNGDORF TDAI-3400 SHIPPED ALREADY! Tentatively it’s arriving on the 7th...

@david_ten Because of how my room is layed out, I'm forced to fire off my long wall which is 16' across.  The speakers are 8.5' apart, approx 2.5' from the front wall, 3.5' from the side walls and my listening position is 8.5' away with about a 2'...

@evolvist I'm pretty nearfield to my Encores and I love um.  If you liked the DIs, you're going to be ecstatic with the Encores. Read my prior posts for my listening impressions.

@grannyring I hope your assertions pan out.  I could really use the money selling off my Nords, Benchmark DAC2 HGC, and even the Diavolo (even though I really don't want to give it up). At least the Luxman Amplifier switcher makes switching amplif...

@charles1dad Thanks Charles, won't be long to find out what's what. I kind of just want to keep the SET regardless because I spent way too much money for it which I'll likley never recoup (to say nothing of my rather large tube collection investme... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@evolvist Congratulations on deciding on the Encores, you won't be sorry!  I've been loving mine to death! Come over to the Encore owner thread I started and post you're impressions of them once you get them! There's a couple of other owner's ther... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@waltersalas The Encores use Giant Threaded Stud Gliders (Choose stud thread:: 1/4"-20 x 1/2" stud)Unless you want the Iso-Acoustics Gaia I, but personally I think $1300 is ridiculous for those Gaia I because they look similar to the Gaia II or II...
