Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
What you are describing is rather odd. It's an integrated amplifier and best used on its own. You can use the preouts and use the unit as a preamp through the analog out but to use it from a preamp to the 2170 to the power amp is not really possib...

+1 on Tony. Great down to earth dude unlike some of the snobby d..ckweeds around.  
The Future of Audio Amplification
Amplifiers are going class D. That's just a fact. I've owned 3 and none have impressed me until the Lyngdorf 2170 and impress me it does. Better than any separates or tube equipment I have owned. Nothing class D sounding about it. Smooth as silk w... 
Suggestions (based on experience) for power amp for Dynaudio Contour 20s, please
I have to have the volume up near 0 on the Lyngdorf to get the volume I want. Dont get me wrong it does sound very good. I think they were measured at around 85db @4ohms. I get the feeling the more power the better with these.  
Warmer sounding Solid State
You could try an eq like the Schiit Loki. I hear it's pretty transparent and it's only 150 bucks.

Layne Staley. Hands down for me.  
Streaming services.
Deezer. They have lossless option and huge library.

I recently bought the Contour 20s and am pushing with the Lyngdorf TDIA2170 which is high current 170W at 4 ohms. I wish I had more power.I'm sure the Primaluna would sound great depending on your listening habits and how loud you like to play.  
New to audiophile and need HELP.
If I had around 2k to spend for a complete system I would buy the LS50W sight unseen. Good use of DSP and amplifiers specifically developed for the speakers. Spend that extra 1k later for a sub and be done with it. Never heard them but they look a... 
Replacing my stand mount speakers
What reciever or integrated are you running?  
Lyngdorf TDAI 2170??
Room Perfect will certainly tighten up the sound and the 2170 is really good with standard DIs I own. With room perfect off my DIs sound kind of diffuse by comparison with room perfect on. Kinda sounds like a big pair of headphones with room perfe... 
Lyngdorf TDAI 2170??
It is very very good unless your speakers are too inefficient. While the amp section is very good it's room perfect that makes the difference IMO. How is your room? Treatments, small, large, shape? The worse your room is the more attractive the Ly... 
Replacing my stand mount speakers
I had those S4s for several years and liked them very much. They sound more like floorstanders than bookshelves. I like them a lot. To me they sounded slightly sweet but very fast, punchy and detailed. I preferred them to my KEF 201/2 which at one... 
Usher Audio BE-718 or Kef LS50
The Usher will be slightly slower and less detailed but will have more bass and a more romantic sound. Definitely bigger sound. When I had mine I didn't think they paired well with tubes. YMMV. 
What will a preamp do for me?
A nice tube preamp mated to SS amp is the way I would go. When I have tried Dac volume control in the past I found it sterile and a bit harsh.
