Hello everyone,
I'm trying to figure out which amp I should buy to drive my Focal Theva N3 + 1 subwoofer.
Lyngdorf 1120 or Lyngdorf 2170?
My main scenarios are to listen to a record player and stream music from Spotify.
Sometimes watch movies via a wireless projector.
My room is 38 sq m.
New 1120 = 2100 USD
Used 2170 with Phono and USB module + Bluesound Node 2i = 2200 USD
My main concern is that 1120 would not have enough power.
On the other hand, 2170 is now 10 years old since it was presented.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
The 2170 is a 10 year old product that has been discontinued for several years now and hasn't had a software update in four years.
Your room is quite large. How far is your actual listening position from the speakers though?
You can use a tool like this to calculate how much power you'll actually need from your amp:
Assuming you have enough power (I used an 1120 sitting 11 ft from my speakers and it could get loud enough to hurt), I'd get the current gen product which is getting bug fixes etc. vs something that has been EOL for years.
