Dn, sounds like a wonderful setup. I don't know those amps, but can offer some general thoughts. This group might offer opinions of the Lyngdorf. Read between the lines, it might be class D and/or digital amplification, which you would have to sonically evaluate yourself: Get return privileges. It doubles from 200wpc@8 to 400wpc@4. FIND OUT how it behaves into 2 ohms. If at least 600wpc into 2 ohms, it will not distort under a Thiel load.
The Stellar M700 reads well too. Same suggestion regarding 2 ohm performance of at least triple the 8 ohm performance is required.
Regarding the PowerPoints: your dealer might help you through the power requirement equation. Your room and listening levels matter a lot. However, don't underestimate the PP and MCS. I am using PPs for my near-field and mastering monitors, and they are my first XO upgrade project. They and the MCS are in the same hi-end league as the floorstanders. If in doubt, and if you can, lavish amplification on them.
This is a long-shot including some hearsay. Jim began working with a very talented circuit designer at Vifa/Denmark in the mid 80s on what became the SmartSub amps. I have heard that he is or has worked with Lyngdorf. If true, that's a very good indication of excellence. They look excellent anyhow! Sorry that I've never heard them.
I love PS audio, but have not heard those amps either.
I notice that you use the plural for the SS2s. Congratulations. I know from experience that there is enough location information in their signal to warrant careful positioning. Try putting them near the primary speakers and pay attention to arrival times. Avoid putting them out of sight or in a corner as is often done. Even though bass waves are long and therefore near omnidirectional, their leading edge transient component is intact and important. Everything matters.
Keep us posted.
