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.

Thanks for the advice guys.  I just wanted to test what kind of improvement in sound quality i will get from having the room correction added.  It took me awhile to put my system together and I like what I have, so I really don't want to get rid of it.  The Lyndorf sounds great with the RoomPerfect activated, but it sounds a little different from what I am used to.  It is hard to describe.

I have a small room that is in the process of getting room treatments from GIK Acoustics. I am considering the 3400 and was wondering if having room treatments is a detriment to the functionality of the Room Perfect system. I would assume it would not but wanted to verify with some actual RP users.

I have not decided on speakers yet.

BTW - are there any dealers that provide for home demos of the 3400?

Found this little nugget on the following thread. So maybe the 3400 is not ideal for my room, due to the treatments.

https://www.avforums.com/threads/lyngdorf-discussion-thread.1580956/page-4

" This is why after spending 20 years or so learning about room design, we no longer recommend specialist acoustic design and treatment in the majority of rooms where Steinway Lyngdorf systems will be used.

If you read the threads where Steinway Lyngdorf systems are demonstrated at shows you will notice they are always in completely untreated rooms. Many other manufacturers spent a fortune building the best spaces to show off their systems at shows and still don’t get the same feedback as Steinway. See below. Compare the cost of the systems and the room designs and Steinway Lyngdorf systems are often a fraction of the price of the high end alternatives being show."

My impression of that statement is, a Lyngdorf is capable of correcting an untreated room to level that it will sound better than competitors where the room has treatment. Not, if you have a treated room, don't use a Lyngdorf. A treated room should require less room correction by the Lyngdorf. In fact my 2170 is in a fully treated room and I actually don't use roomperfect at all. The Lyngdorf sounds awesome in it with no correction. IMHO the less signal processing required, the better. But if you need proecessing, RoomPerfect works extremely well.
