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.

All you need are the speakers connected to the amp and its microphone.
It is a fairly simple process that is well documented in the manual.
Basically once you start the room correction program the amp outputs various "noise" through the speakers which are test tones the Mic reads and feeds back into the amp.
It is completely self contained no computer needed.
I could go into more depth but that should be enough for you to get the gist of what is required and what occurs

Yes that's what was wondering. Many moons ago I had a Denon when I dabbled with  surround sound that did the tones to help you place speakers. Had it hooked to a Pioneer Laser player that used those huge disc's the size of an LP. Thanks uberwaltz

This is similar but it is best to run music through it and get best speaker placement possible before then running the room correction.
You will move the Mic around the room at the prompts so it gets a full picture of your room acoustics.
It is actually pretty impressive the change it usually makes to the sq.

That's the impression I got reading through the thread  , to get the speaker placement first but I either missed or was never said about how to set it up,  looked like most had either a computer or streaming device hooked to it when all I would use  for now is a CD player. so I could'nt tell if those were necessary for the room perfect. I see a used one on audio mart  with all modules for $3750 now the hard part.. decide. I was about to pull the trigger on a McIntosh ma252 hybrid when I happened upon this thread. Thanks again for the info.
