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

I ended up buying the 3400 that was advertised in this thread. Can't fully speak to the sound quality because my coincident pre's are in storage for another month after I complete a year away from my house/job. I'm currently running it with a pair of Klipsch promedia desktop speakers I bought in 1999. Probably the cheapest speakers any lyngdorf product has ever amplified. 

Will eventually compare to a pair of 300b coincident franks. 

I can answer questions about the media server though.

And @dancastanga, I guess you know more about your thiels than I do (I used to own 2.4s), but an amp that offers 200w per channel at 8 ohms and doubles down at 4 ohms is at least in the recommended range.

Yes, they are rated for 200 to 600 in 4 ohm so mid way, might work. I run a pair of thiel cs 2.7 in another room with a Peachtree Nova 300 which is a great product and thought my next purchase would be a Nova 500 when they come out but then I got the LYNGDORF Bug!! Even the name is awesome! Might have something to do with my recent binge watch of Vikings. 
What is the general consensus on best amps for MP-50? same situation in that room, hard to drive Thiel's  cs 2.7 L,R  MCS1 center, cs1.7 rears, 4 power point 1.2's for Atmos,  2 thiel SS2 smart sub's for 2ch and a LFE sub I haven't gotten yet, Can some of you give me feed back on what amps to use? PS also makes a great class D now called the Steller 700M  350 by 8ohn & 700 for 4 ohm, they are monos, same tech smaller model 2ch 140 300 4 ohm, Victory has a 4 channel class D amp that reviewed well, 325 by 8ohm and 650 by 4 ohm and that is per channel. Seems there are a few companies who have invested in really optimizing class D, Or go class AB Classe, ATI, Cary 5ch,  I might need to install  the speakers & order MP-50 and try to get home trials on the amps I mentioned and ones you recommend here. Thank you! all your input is far more valuable than any one is sales chain.  Dan   

@cal3713 

Could you expand on your opinion of the media server aspect portion please?
I assume it has a wired lan input and can stream Tidal et al?

@uberwaltz Yes, I've got it hardwired (although it can also connect via wifi) and have been exclusively using the upnp input. I stream tidal using bubbleupnp via my phone and an Android tablet. So far, everything has worked perfectly. It automatically shows up as a renderer for the bubbleupnp player, and the player can be used to control the volume, advance track, etc. The lyngdorf (and it's online control interface) report the bit rate accurately. So far, it's been considerably better than ps audios implementation in the bridge 2. With it, I would regularly have problems and have to reboot to see the bridge or fix song cueing (and had to leave my tablet's screen on whenever listening to minimize those problems). All that seems to have gone away with lyngdorf's implementation. 

I also learned that they're now implementing a Bluetooth input. It's not working yet (per customer service), but supposedly after the next SW update you'll be able to stream music to the unit from any Bluetooth device. 

I'll actually be curious whether wifi ends up having better signal quality. I know some manufacturers are recommending putting a network switch with a linear power supply and a special grounding wire in front of the last Ethernet that goes into any network player. Seems like Wifi will keep all those electrical issues out of the chain. 

As I alluded to in the first post of this entire thread, my experience with the ps audio bridge led me to be a firm believer in network based audio. The bridge network input is just so much better than the usb connection.
