Hi All,
First time posting. I recently started to appreciate how important the room is after moving some furniture around and buying a subwoofer. In the last month or so I’ve been reading about the Buchardt I150 and Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 amplifiers that have room correction built it. There is some discussion on this forum about these, especially the Lyngdorf, but not much direct comparison. I am seriously thinking about purchasing one of these, and I’d like to hear the opinions of anyone who has had experience with these. I have not actually listened to either of them, but these are my thoughts from reading about them.
FYI, I currently have Focal Chorus 816v floor standing speakers powered by an NAD 356BEE amp, and a Rel T7/I subwoofer.
Buchardt Advantages
The Buchardts, I believe, are sold direct, whereas the Lyngdorfs are sold through dealers here in the U.S. Buchardt seems to be a much smaller company
I listen the most with streaming, then CDs, occasionally vinyl, and very seldom old cassettes. My turntable has a built-in pre-amp, so the lack of a phono input on the Buchardt isn’t a big deal, I can use the Analog In).
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has compared these two amps.
Thanks.

Buchardt Advantages
- More powerful and possibly better amplifier section (150 watts into 8 ohms, 300 watts into 4 ohms, vs 60 watts into 8 ohms, 120 watts into 4 ohms)
- Low Level Enhancement for better performance at low listening volume (like old-time Loudness control but more sophisticated)
- Separate Sub-Out and Pre-Out so I could hook up both my subwoofer and a headphone amp at the same time
- Room Perfect seems to work with the full frequency range, whereas the Buchardt room correction only affects the low frequencies - big advantage for Lyngdorf.
- Microphone included for Room Perfect, vs. needing iPhone for Buchardt (I have an android phone so would need to borrow an iPhone).
