New to audiophile and need HELP.
If I had around 2k to spend for a complete system I would buy the LS50W sight unseen. Good use of DSP and amplifiers specifically developed for the speakers. Spend that extra 1k later for a sub and be done with it. Never heard them but they look a...

What reciever or integrated are you running?  
Lyngdorf TDAI 2170??
Room Perfect will certainly tighten up the sound and the 2170 is really good with standard DIs I own. With room perfect off my DIs sound kind of diffuse by comparison with room perfect on. Kinda sounds like a big pair of headphones with room perfe... 
Lyngdorf TDAI 2170??
It is very very good unless your speakers are too inefficient. While the amp section is very good it's room perfect that makes the difference IMO. How is your room? Treatments, small, large, shape? The worse your room is the more attractive the Ly... 
Replacing my stand mount speakers
I had those S4s for several years and liked them very much. They sound more like floorstanders than bookshelves. I like them a lot. To me they sounded slightly sweet but very fast, punchy and detailed. I preferred them to my KEF 201/2 which at one... 
Usher Audio BE-718 or Kef LS50
The Usher will be slightly slower and less detailed but will have more bass and a more romantic sound. Definitely bigger sound. When I had mine I didn't think they paired well with tubes. YMMV. 
What will a preamp do for me?
A nice tube preamp mated to SS amp is the way I would go. When I have tried Dac volume control in the past I found it sterile and a bit harsh.

Tinear,Do you listen to rock at all on the LS50W and how do they hold up? 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Off topic a bit but this seems like a good place to ask. Has anyone heard the Lyngdorf speakers? Specifically the FR-1. Price is good. I like that they are designed for on wall and to couple to the room. Would assume they have very good synergy wi...

My current speakers are freakin power hogs. I have to turn the 2170 to 0 to get the volume I want.

Question for you Lyngdorf guys. If I add the SDA2400 to the 2170 do I lose resolution with the volume control of the 2170?

Ah. I had the Guru QM10 2 for a while. Big brother to the Jr. That is a really fun speaker. Wish I would have kept them.

Not bright at all. If anything they are slightly warm IMO. I'm sure this depends on your amplification etc. The bass they have is fairly impactful and good quality. I am crossed over to a sub however..I bought them cause of the good deal and I was...

Focal Aria 906 are really impressive for the money. Play every genre very well and not too demanding.
