Experiences by Owners of Lyngdorf Integrated Amps using the Room Correct feature

I am still thinking about upgrading my main system, and have seen a number of reviews on the Lyngdorf all in one type of integrated amps that have their Room Correction capability.

https://hifiheaven.net/shop/Lyngdorf-TDAI-2170-Fully-Digital-Integrated-Stereo-Amplifier-with-HDMI-USB-XLR-in-Open-Box

I would like to ask users/owners of the Lyngdorfs to share their experiences, and whether the room correction feature really improved the sound of their system., and please try to describe how the sound was improved.

Please tell about your speakers and say something about the room conditions. I don’t have a particularly difficult room but I am wondering how much added value this feature brings.

My speakers are Epos M22 floorstanders, which I really enjoy (for many years now), and I also have a Velodyne sub that I use at times.

Good question.

I tried this amp with a pair of Devore Nines and Verity Parsifals and I ended up not keeping it. The Lyngdorf chapter of my hifi life made me realize that when a group of motivated and well intentioned individuals start an audio thread about the greatest thing ever- run the other way fast. I don't know if the threads still exist but they were selling up to $50,000 worth of tube gear and celebrating audio ecstasy over this thing. 

You shouldn't take my word, or let me discourage you because I'm just one person. Others will hopefully chime in with more positive impresssions. I found it dull and lacking engagement. I was told I didn't let it break in long enought, I needed to leave it on 24/7, I needed certain cables, etc, etc.

I'll also share that one of the best way to use these forums it to message a user that own it. Look at those threads and send a message- introduce yourself and ask about it.   

Good luck. Please share results.

Here is one long love fest. Some of these guys are now promoting other gear just as hard.
