Lyngdorf RP-1


I needed a crossover between my Joseph Pulsars and my two Genesis/Underwood subs. After a trial, I've ended up with the Lyngdorf RP-1, which provides both a highly flexible digital crossover and RoomPerfect. The latter is a true revelation. I've been in this hobby for over 40 years now, and I'll categorically state that no change/addition - perhaps apart from a major speaker upgrade - has made such a positive difference as has the RP-1. In addition to smoothing out room modes, RoomPerfect is quite clearly having an effect far up into the midrange, and in unexpected ways. Soundstage focus is significantly improved, and I can assure you that the Pulsars are no slouches in this regard to begin with. More than anything, though, is the extremely strong sense of 'solidity' of every instrument and voice. I have a hard time putting this into words, but effectively it simply all sounds more real, more 'there'. I am currently enjoying the best sound reproduction experience I've had in my home, and it's within a hair of the best I've ever heard regardless of cost and complexity. This thing is worth every penny and more.

I am in no way associated with Lyngdorf. Just passing along the very positive experience.

You have a very sophisticated system, including a superb analog front end. Do you feel you're losing anything, benefits aside, by adding A-D and D-A stages to the chain, not to mention the extra component and interconnects?
