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.

Dang grannyring, this makes the Tekton discussion look like a group hug. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/new-tweak-its-fantastic |
Hello, happy Lyngdorfians. I’m considering the 2170 to replace my McIntosh MA6500/OPPO BDP-105d combo as the OPPO is failing and I’d like to move to a one box solution. I use Focal Electra 1028BE II speakers along with a pair of Velodyne VX-11’s that actually work very well in an L/R setup next to the speakers. The sound is by far the best I’ve ever had in my system and I’m fairly happy with where it’s at to be honest, but I’m not sure I want to get the OPPO repaired at this time and my wife really likes the idea of a 1 box solution. A couple questions: First, I’m concerned that an all digital amp may not play to the strengths of the Focals. They have been lean/bright with amps I’ve used other then the Mac, and I’m wondering if the RoomPerfect correction might be able to address this. Second, what’s the amp rated for into 8ohms? I see 170 at 4ohms but would like some clarity there before making a move. My MA6500 puts out 120 class AB at 8 ohms and 200 at 4 ohms. I could live with 100 watts as I almost never push the Mac that far. Finally, are the EQ presets on the 2170 really that bad? I generally don’t mess with tone controls and I could always tweak the lowpass on the sub if necessary, but I’m curious if anyone’s used them in any useful way. Thanks, Chris |
@jcarcopo yea that’s what I’m gathering from this thread, seems like it checks most boxes for most people. I’d love to know the power output at 8ohms but I believe that so long as it’s above 80ish watts I’d be fine. I have a feeling the only option will be the fully loaded model, which bums me out because I really don’t need the add-ons and at 4K the price is right, but I guess I’ll see which one they have in stock. |
