Aktiv Cards for Ninka


I have a 2250 power amp and the AV 5103 System Controller, together with bi-wired Ninka Sprs -heavy granite stands. What are the requirements for Activ cards and how would these improve the sound? Speaker cable (8ft.pair) is LK400. Musical taste - primarily classical and occasional jazz. Speakers are positioned either side of a 34" TV, about 12" from the rear wall and approx 36" on the sides. Can the position be changed to advantage ? Thanks anyone.

Thanks again. I am and will in all probabilty, remain so for the forseeable future, a two channel man, although I may be persuaded sometime to include a centre speaker in my system. So of the various possibilities suggested, the selloff of the LK280 Spark and LK1 together with the 2250 to enable me to purchase the AV 5125 with Aktive cards, would seem to be the best alternative. You have been extremely helpful and I remain so very grateful for the time and effort afforded me. (Note that this thread, once eliminated, was reactivated successfully at my request - thanks Audiogon!)
FYI and interest:
With your 2250 and your LK280 there should be no issue bi-wiring your speakers.

Both of these units have similar plugs for output. Generally speaking,for the sake of uniformity, I would not be quick to mix balanced and unbalanced connections in the same system.

In this case, both units have unbalanced outputs, the LK28 would use banana to banana and the 2250 would use compliance plugs to banana.

This would be uniform and there should be no issues with this match.
Hi,

I have a pair of Linn Ninka's and want to take them aktiv. Does anyone know where I can buy these on-line? Used?

Thanks,
Scott
Scott, I'm not clear from your post what it is that you want to buy (Aktiv cards for your Ninkas?). Whatever it is, the best used market is right here on Audiogon.
Markphd,

My post of 7/24/06 refers. I should have indicated that this was a response from Linn re my enquiry about mixing amps. You may recall the questions we had about this (7/15/06) and especially the differences between balanced and unbalanced connects. This clarified it for me. So thanks for suggesting Linn - they responded very quickly.
