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

Hello All,
I’m coming up on 40 yrs in this hobby,and or obsession of ours,and I started with a pair of Khorns and Macintosh at the age of 12 and Offcourse owned a ton of different gear over the yrs.
I bought a 2170 a little more than 6 months ago and I enjoyed it so much that I quickly realized I don’t really need anything else,solid state,tubes,or even dac’s anymore.I could step off that silly merry go round of amplification and just enjoy music.I was able to utilize the extra money and time and put together a really great sounding network audio system that rivaled the best in analog that I have ever had,I was mainly a analog guy all of these yrs but finally gave it up,I even sold my longtime record collection of 3k records which included many Hot Stampers that I purchased and also several that I found on my own.

So who Luv’s the 2170 and is maybe also thinking about the new 3400.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

@aniwolfe Yes, I've made sure to have RP on focus all the time. May be I should take another measurement. I had no idea that dipole/open baffle are such room friendly speakers. Goes to show that when you remove that box, how uncolored and less boomy the bass becomes.

And interesting, I didn't know that you can check how much room correction it is using. I'll check and report back.

@grannyring I've my 2170 hooked up to a equi=core 1800 conditioner. I'm using HiDiamond USB cable and TWL power cord. Do you recommend I use a different conditioner or something like a PS Audio power regenerator in addition to equi=core?

essrand,
Excellant so glad you got to try one in your own system,that’s the best way.Who’s the dealer that you got it from.

Once you get the 2170 optimized in your system and broken in,you may forget all about the Ancient tubes,I know I certainly did.

mofojo,
I hope it works out for you as well as it has for me.

Totally stepped off the Amp,Dac,and Cable merry go round and don’t plan to get back on.

Kenny.

In the next few days my dealer will send me a copy of the 3400 
owners manual and within a month I probably will be able to borrow one.Then I will be able to directly compare to to the 2170.

I see I’m missing some good posts here,
It’s kinda hard to type when I’m in a state of musical bliss,with many files queued up in Roon and my eyes closed.

I will try and read and answer later on,

Kenny.

Stick with the equicore 1800 for sure!
Massive improvement when i bought mine.
I use mine with my own power cords and I have everything plugged into the equicore
