@donald_dac Have you had a chance to read anything online about the Lyngdorf Voicings yet? I’m excited for you to, because it’s the solution you’re looking for, in my opinion, with your original inquiry in this thread.
There will be lots of opposition to my suggestion around here, again, in my opinion because even some of our long term members that obviously understand how to achieve good acoustics just plainly have not gained experience with what I affectionately refer to as the Lyngdorf house sound, which is kind of like the Nordost house sound not in my opinion but based on my experience.
Both of them are known, by those who’ve used their products anyway, for having the most neutral sound of all meaning that neither of them will “color” your sound.
Another generalization is that they both are known, again by folks who’ve used their products, to allow you to achieve one of the quietest noise floors. Period.
And that! is something I bet the old timers around here know about, because it’s a principle that we’re all out to achieve … if we are doing more than just collecting cool toys and plugging them all in together.
what I’m referring to is called synergy, right?
The only thing that’s imperative when you take this approach to building your system is that you have chosen your equipment well because another thing that’s I guess you could say is a principle too: and I can tell you this is true because I’ve been there and done that I guess is the way they say it … you will be able to hear clearly exactly what the designer of the piece of equipment is capable of in the way of both revealing and presenting your favorite music to you when you’re getting your jollies listening to your system.
Fyi … one of the reviews I read before I bought my TDAI 2170 suggested that the Lyngdorf presented what he called the blackest background ever … and he suggested that Lyngdorf might want to check in to the idea of patenting the feature as what he called Blackground.
Their approach is just so different that, especially sone of the purists around here just are not familiar with how it’s so radically different. That is not the be taken as a slam at all. I referenced in my earlier post, the phenomenon of not knowing what you don’t know.
By the way, how old are your speakers, have they had sufficient time to be fully broken in yet? Because that Trevor response may smooth out a little bit over time. Probably not sufficiently for your taste, though, so rather than chucking the speakers per @soix and whoever else disagrees and considers my suggestion to be polishing a turd … with this approach, you can both! tame your room response which will improve the hell out of your acoustics (all the way around) and also allow you to enjoy your speakers.
I saw an MP-40 either here or on one of the other platforms for around $3500 which is not a real steep price to pay for having awesome acoustics.
