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.

Bullitt5094,
My name is Kenny and I haven’t used the I7 in quite a few months,in fact I sold it about 5wks ago,I probably overwhelmed you with my jabbering.

Anyway It’s all about the sound and whatever works the best for you,and I’m damn proud of you for trying different stuff,that’s the only way to know for sure.

IfI the winner,That’s odd to me,but I still respect your decision regardless.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

Aniwolfe,
I usually use default or 30 and I have experimented higher too,
I don’t think it really matters as long as you are close.

Somebody else may have a different take then me though and I always try to be as open minded as possible.

Kenny.

2170 seems to suggest something like 18 which is really loud.

I’ve tried 3 different speakers with 2170, all in the same room (4th pair testing tomorrow). I’ve been doing between 4-7 mic placements to get 100% room knowledge, and 9%-18% room correction.

I completely agree to set up your speakers to the best of your ability before running RP. Less the 2170 has to correct the better, IMHO.

I did try placing all speakers that i’ve used very close to the back wall, and noticed that’s when I get in the higher room correction %. So now I’ve been giving each speaker at least 2 feet of room from the rear wall, and a little more if they’re rear ported.

I don’t believe there’s an absolute correct way, but I do know that it’s awfully fun having different options/results.

Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy the 2170 & the music!
