The Lyngdorf units sound much better when used as a total system. Using another amp, regardless of the amp, deteriorates the sound in my experience. I have tried several tube amps, SS amps, and even Lyngdorf’s own 2400. In the end something was lost and the magic was reduced. Sure at first you will notice differences and be enchanted, but over a period of a week or two when you go back to using the Lyngdorf completely you will quickly learn what I have. The synergy and reduced complexity of the one box system with its short signal path and reduced cabling is the key.
I dont blame you for trying, as I did, but over the last 3 years the above learnings have emerged. Just remember to let the amp section in the 3400 break in and be on for 12 hours before making any conclusions.
