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.

Damn you, KDude...this thread is making me want to spring for the Lyngdorf -- that I almost bought last year. But I continue to worry about how the inevitable file changes (e.q. MQA) would be handled or not. Components have always won with me because they require selective upgrading.
Also, had the experience with Class D amps not providing the kind of realistic tone weight necessary to nail acoustic instruments perfectly -- the cello is a good instrument to check. Can any of you pundits share your Lyngdorf experience here? KLH007 has stated that the Lyngdorf is not Class D but it seems a slightly improved variant to me after reading the description cited above.
And what's next, KDude? A thread on your new Lawrence Audio DB speakers? We'll all have to sell our Porsches...

craigl59,
No not going to start a thread on the db’s,there’s only 4to5 pairs that have been shipped to America.Lawrence mostly sales and markets to Europe and Asia.

I sent you a pm,
Kenny.

The tonality is spot on with the 2170. Never thin or lightweight ...... sounding  ....... Never. It is slightly warm with excellent bloom and meat on the bones. After room correction everything just falls into place and you never will think about amps, dacs, and preamps anymore. Once dialed in with a Room Correction and proper burn in all is unfussy bliss.  😁

Perhaps  you can trial one with some hours on it from a dealer.

I couldn’t really put it into words any better than this,and
If you are Listening to a quality recording that has good quality “Instrumental” tonal weight the 2170 will convey it in a very realistic way.
