Following on from the theme at Ascot of simpler, lower cost systems delivering the goods, Lyngdorf are a perfect example. Its also good to see a manufacturer that recognises not all homes have room for a pair of speakers a metre or so out into the living space. So here their speakers are deliberately designed to work with the back wall rather than hoping it wasn't there...
The 3500 GBP all in one streamer, DAC and power amp was driving the 4500 GBP speakers (here, Lyngdorf are not using the purifi drivers seen in their more expensive models). This system acquitted itself very well - musical, reasonably deep and well controlled bass, fun to listen to and no sign of inducing fatigue. Not exactly bargain basement, but a great way to show that thinking about the reality of living spaces can give a good result and give more people to ability to enjoy good music in smaller homes.
