Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks for the comments jcarcopo. I guess my point was why would Lyngdorf even bother with a DA convertor when you would just feed the digital output into one of their amps. I suspect the vast majority of their cd-2 players end up paired with thei... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@aniwolfe  Yes, I was aware of this product.  But when used in an all Lyndorf system, why would you want to convert this to analogue and back to digital?  Do the Lyngdorf's have/need DA convertors if the conversion takes place at the output stage?

Sounds like the both of you are in for some very nice listening indeed.  @david_ten    Will be very interested in how things all come together David.  That integrated looks absolutely beautiful!  In time hope you fill us in on all the pieces you a... 
Speakers "Disappearing"
If I am aware of music coming out of a box, I feel like I have a system that is a failure.  Ironic that Michael Green posted.  I purchased a pair of his rev60(?) speakers years ago.  I thought it crazy in the manual he suggested bringing the speak...

@stelo   I will echo David's comments.  While I also prefer my DI's well out into the room, others have had good results otherwise.  Depends on the room and your priorities--bass response, sound staging, etc.  I also prefer the speakers toed in (s...

@knollbrent Hope you enjoy the DI's.  I just have a hard time believing your Mac will be able to drive them however......JUST KIDDIN'.  It's a good knowing your amp is not even breaking a sweat driving the DI's.  At least that how I feel with my s...

Nice pics David.  Always fun to get a look at others systems we've all been reading about.  The color of your pair of SE's looks great with your system.  If you ever have a chance, would like to see a close up of the finish...and what's the offici... 
Subwoofer Decision
I certainly agree with wsphon's comments above. But I would also add that with my main speakers, well out into the room, that the Hsu subs have done a great job of recreating deep and tight bass found in many of the recordings (classical and other... 
Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching
I once drove a pair of monitor audio silvers with EKCO  integrated.  This is a very good tube amp indeed but with this pairing in triode the bass was very bloated.  Much better in UL mode.  I really wonder if the MA silvers aren't better off with ... 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
One more vote for the PL Dialogue HP.  Don't be penny wise pound foolish.  Spend a bit more for a very musical and very well designed amp that will get you off the merry-go-round need to upgrade.  I did not consider any tube amps with circuit boar... 
Subwoofer Decision
I can second the Hsu ULS-15 MkII.  I run a pair and they offer very tight clean bass down to 20hz in my room.  A great value.  I suspect either of the subs you are looking at would be great as well.  In the end what's "best" would only be known af... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
@grannyring@kdude66 Question for you guys.  I just spent a lot of time on optimizing my DI's with room treatments and adding subs.  The subs are in the corners and the DI's well out into the room. See my pics--https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/...

@david_ten I can't keep up with all your gear man!  But it sounds like you are having fun.  You know, with all the posts on this thread I can't recall if you tried the Lyngdorf 2170 that Bill is so fond of.  This seems like a unique piece of solid... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
As I have not spent time with fuse swapping, I really can't offer much here. But I will tell you that when I changed the direction of my power transistors, the results were clearly audible.
