Lyngdorf TDAI 1120

[njprrogers]

I have a pair of Linton heritage speakers in my main room which is 9*5 metres. I do like the sound but there is some bass boom in certain sections of the room.
Toed in somewhat accentuates the slight flabbiness but is necessary for TV watching and voices.

So, I have had my trusty Roksan K2 for years and it has served me well. However, an opportunity has arisen to get my hands on a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120. I was hoping Room Perfect might assist with the flabbiness in the bass.

What do you think? I am conscious that the K2 has a lot of wattage for that size room compared to the Lyngdorf. That said, the Lintons are pretty sensitive at 90db so I think they would be ok.

What are your thoughts on the two?

Bass traps in corners of the room. You hear 70% the room & 30% speakers
If you like your K2 add sound DSP / Room correction

The Lintons need plenty of space around them, have youngot them far enough from the walls? Try experimenting with the positioning and the toe in, it can make a massive difference.

Also those speakers have an offset treble, meaning there is a distinct left and right speaker have you got them the right way around?

It’s a decently large space you are trying to fill, pretty much the limit of what I’d expect Lintons to be sufficient for, if not a bit beyond. Floorstanders would be a more obvious match.

However, all rooms have modes and nodes which you’ll be aware of if you move around. The suggestions above are good, and I think a few pictures or a sketch of your layout would be informative. Room correction, whether in a Lyngdorf or an added on device, can be a big improvement but can also be tiresome to setup and unpredictable. It depends!

Can you try the aLyngdorf before you buy?

I have a Lyngdorf 1120 and it`s a fantastic amp i run it with Kef R3 speakers and a rel sub and after running room perfect it sounds very good so would highly recommend the amp.
I would say i works much better with a sub incorporated than without.
have my rear ported kefs 2 inches from the rear wall and no issues.

why i am replying to a thread this old i don`t know

 

[njprrogers]

it's the thought that counts @andybebbs !

i let this go stale for a few days as i took some time yesterday to play with positioning. i then had the chance to listen tonight.

basically, i have eliminated the toe-in on the lintons and left them 30cms from the wall. all in all, this has tightened up the bass considerably. voicing is now dead centre of the sound stage although that sound stage is probably a little narrower.

all in all, a good result. i'll probably keep the cash in my pocket and not upgrade to the lyngdorf.

for now, anyway. they are top of my upgrade list which means it will probably happen eventually.

Glad you found the right setup.

Positioning is everything! I discovered this when I moved from very forgiving speakers that were easy to position, to ones that need to be perfectly positioned.

Surprised you only need 30cm from the wall, but if that's what works!

 

[andybebbs]

glad you got it sorted i have my kef r3`s about 8cm from the rear wall with no issues using room perfect on the lyngdorf. if you ever get one on loan i`m sure you wont be returning it as it`s a fantastic amp.
