Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

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/7021
So I read that the room correction works best with speakers right up against the front wall.  So what is your experience with speaker placement/room correction.  Is it compatible with subs? Thanks.

The 2170 continues to interest me.  To raise the funds, would have to sell my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP I use in a second system.  And I do enjoy that amp! 

I wish I loved computer based audio but for multiple reasons I don't.  I like my CD's.  Just received a box set of 60 Vivarte CD's and lovin' it!  All this for $1.50 a CD.  It's a great time to load up.  But I know in time I will need to get on board. (see oppo thread)

So here's what I'm thinking.  I  love the ability the 2170 has to high pass my Double Impacts.  Possibly cleaner sound with less of a demand on both the speakers and the 2170's amp while affording a clean transition to my duel subs (all set up as suggested by Lyngdorf). To spin my discs I am looking at a transport. I would probably go with the base 2170. (Wish Lyngdorf/dealers would facilitate allowing the end user to add boards.)

With the standard digital inputs on the 2170, what type of connection would you guys suggest?  Do you think a Cambridge cxc transport would significantly limit the potential of the 2170? 

Thanks for your thoughts.

Redboob(k) aside, thanks for the feedback from those using the 2170 with this configuration. 

grey9hound, I do appreciate your words of encouragement.  I recognize their are advantages as you have noted.  I guess in the end I favor a simple and reliable approach that uses equipment with a very high performance/price ratio.  Hence, my interest in the 2170.  An elegant piece of gear to be sure.

The thought of ripping all those CD's--wished it excited me.  And then there were all those pictures of my Italy trip that were lost due to a computer mishap.  Arrrrrrrrgh!

So for right now I'm a happy dinosaur with my shiny discs. I can carefully hold them.  They are very tangible.

 But things may well change in time.

" Sorry, I will now shut up about it. "

Please don't grey9hound!  I appreciate your encouragement.  You have inspired me to educate myself on what's out there.  So as to not get off topic, I think this would be a nice topic for a new thread.

Haven't been to this thread in quite a while.  While I was interested in this product a few months back, it's disappointing to hear about some reliability issues here (relays, switches, etc).  Also interesting to note some users felt the room correction of be detrimental to the sound.  Obviously room acoustics/speakers will influence this but still seems a bit odd.  Will be interested to see how Lyngdorf does over the long haul. 

That's good to hear Bill.  Things can always go wrong.  What's more important is how the dealer/manufacturer respond in that situation.
