High End Amp Price Collapse musings

I've been on Audiogon for many years and have made numerous other posts in the past on different subjects - if I remember Audiogon went through some major changes in the past few years.

I (again state) that I find it interesting that numerous people owning Class A amplifiers bash Class D (in this thread) without indicating what (Class D) they've listened to.  I've made that point several times to no meaningful response.  I've never busted on anyone for owning Class A - my point is simply that if you are going to say something is better than something else it would help if you've listened to the something else and if you haven't your opinion is therefore not valid.  Analogy - I think apples are great but oranges suck and BTW I've never eaten an orange.  Maybe now you understand the point of my 16 posts.  When I get time I'm going to read through this entire post and list the quotes I think are not credible and why I think such.

P.S. I checked my status and I have positive feedback on Audiogon back to 2008 so I've been a member of this community at least that long.  

If you do a little research Danish company Lyngdorf has several patents 
and has technologies that use far less feedback then most digital companies ,
use the latest Hispeed Mosfets  and only a pr of Poly caps on the output 
the 2400 model I listened to ,that I am buying beat my dual mono a pass labs 
in several key areas .with my new Sonusfaber Olympica-3 speakers they are pretty nimble and prefer soundthing  very musical but also nimble the Lyngdorf 
at $2500 in my opinion is as good perhaps even a little more fleshed out in sounds then the Merrill which I heard side by side  for sure the best bass I have heard in the $4k and under class.  They also have a model with excellent room correction built in .i would have liked that  the 2400 model is 200, and 400 wpc .

Yes I own the 2170 and it replaced $20,000 worth of separates! Love it! Combines SOTA room correction, with a great DSP dac and outstanding amp as you mention.

I have owned great separates from the likes of TRL, CJ, Aesthetix, Canary, Von Gaylord, Tom Evans, Parasound, Blue Circle, Cary, Atmasphere, Bruce Moore, Lector,  and others. This little 2170 from Lyndorf is my favorite. No more interconnects, only one power cord, no digital cables, very short signal paths, and a resulting sound that is spectacular.

Granny,

I'm glad to hear you are really enjoying the 2170.
I have that one on my list to check into I haven't seen much info about it though.

Do you have a dealer close or were you able to listen to one before buying?

Best,

Kenny.
