Surely, in an untreated room, the sound is also compromised and to be frank, physical room treatments often provide little WAF. I've also been down the separates road many times and in the end a single box which does everything is the right solution for me. Horses for courses I guess...

I've had my 1120 for over 2 years now and it is truly an excellent product without Room Perfect. Room Perfect does a very good job at removing unwanted resonances in an untreated room. If you can't audition it back to back with the Naim then take a punt on the Lyngdorf. If you are buying...

I've not heard the Wharfedales but if you like the idea of the Lyngdorf, have a listen to Dali, ProAc or Dynaudio examples in your price range

For a one box solution, the Lyngdorf TDAi 1120 is hard to beat! I've had mine for two years now and it has performed perfectly. If you intend to add subs or feel that your room is negatively affecting the sound quality, then the 1120 will sort everything out for you. Room Perfect is a game changer!

Putting the DAC issue to one side, it would be interesting to audition the Exposure and the Naim so try to get a home demo of both. Only then will you be able to experience the difference. Try to change just one element of your set up at a time to avoid confusion! A third option would be the...

One aspect to be considered is the effect of the room on presentation. Like me, I suspect that many people have their HiFi set up in the lounge which may not be conducive to perfect speaker or listening positioning. In these cases, room EQ such as Dirac Live or Lyngdorf's RoomPerfect will help...

Something a bit left field to consider is Brasso! A very light abrasive, I used this to successfully polish Perspex to a perfect shine in the past. This may possibly work on the lacquer your speakers but if you like the idea, please try an inconspicuous area first!

Try to get a home demo or loan of the 1120. I've had mine for nearly a year and it continues to surprise me. Apart from RoomPerfect which works really well, it sounds great, very neutral! Also, if you are someone who appreciates features and adjustability, it truly is an Aladdin's Cave! I used...

Depends on your needs. If analogue only, then have a listen to the Rega Brio. If you need digital inputs as well then look at Marantz or if the budget will stretch a little, how about the Arcam SA10? Either way, try to get a demo if you can...

Six months in to my 1120 ownership, I remain impressed with it's SQ and feature set. It replaced a much loved NAP100 power amp and I was not disappointed! Many people use the 1120 with the LS50s but for me, my floor standers have never sounded better... Integration of a subwoofer is also dead...

One of the reasons I was attracted to the TDAi1120 was the possibility of reducing a nasty bass boom caused by the less than ideal placement of my Tannoy XT6F floor standers against a wall with my main listening position being a sofa backed onto the opposite wall. As well as being a fine...

Finally made a decision and went for the TDAi 1120 on the basis that 1. It sounded very nice before Room Correction and 2. Even better once my lounge had been ‘learned’. Bass resonance was removed and upper mids and highs were prominent and sweet. if anyone in a similar position with less than...

Thanks, that’s very helpful except my leaning towards the Lyngdorf has been set back by your experience. I can only imagine there was a problem with the amp or the signal it was being fed with. The local dealer does home demonstrations so that’s definitely the way to go...

Managed to find a comparison between M10, Atom and Lyngdorf which the Lyngdorf edged. I would settle for a demo of the Naim and Lyngdorf but that’s not available in my area... Wonder why What Hifi has not reviewed the TDAi 1120. If it’s as much a game changer as it seems, it must be worth a...

I've not seen this 3 way comparison anywhere so wondered if anyone here has listened to the NAIM Uniti Atom against the Hegel H120 or Lyngdorf TDAI-1120? All around a similar price but I'm guessing there may be significant differences in audio presentation...
