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.

Uber,

I use/used an SVS SB2000 when I had the 2170. Those are on sale now for $699 which is an absolute steal. I know that’s over your budget, but IMHO it’s easily worth double that. Sealed box, with the 2170 setup correctly, it will absolutely disappear in your space.

I’ve gone through many, many components over the past few years (as you know) but the SVS has always kept put.

Highly recommended.

Just been researching the SVS subs.

A little more than I planned but that's pretty common in this game....lol.

Tbh, this little Jensen sub that I have owned for near 20 years has slotted in seamlessly. Obviously being only 8" and OLD it does not go that low but it has added some bottom end colour to the Scansonic,s and is earning its keep.

Maybe I save some money for a change...

I have this sub and can attest to its even frequency response from 16 to 150hz and a tremendous amount of energy through the entire range. The two ports are tunable:

And its close to your price point.

BUT don't let me keep you from saving some funds...

Speaking of subs,  there is a guy here in Knoxville..David Gage, of Deep Sea Sound , that makes a sub called the Marianas 24.
It is a 24 Inch sub, with the articulation of a 10 inch sub. It also plays really deep and flat . I was getting output in my room down to  14hz. It was only about 2-3 db down.
This is absolutely the best sub that i have ever heard.

Close, but not complete. The 64 foot stop on a pipe organ goes down to 8 cps.

But then again, there are only 2 or 3 of these organs left in the world. And they're hardly ever regulated well. And you can't hear it, of course. But it can make a tremendous shake.

SOOO...find a sub that will go this low and I suspect you'll be the only one on your block.
