i would recommend against the linn classik - the cd-player in it will prolly be obsolete in a *very* short time. then, what are ya gonna do? no one will wanna buy it from ya used at a decent price... nothing against linn sound - i had a kairn myself for several years, & i think linn speakers & cd-players are very nice... doug
all linn, or mix & match??
I am considering a pair of linn keilidhs. I currently have a receiver based theater system (sony 555es, snell type d mains). I want to upgrade the electronics as a 2 channel system looped into the theater, replacing all speakers with linns (except my sub) I was considering Linn's classik for its value and simplicity, but am wondering if there are any integrated amp/cd player recommendations that have a combined cost of about 2K that should also be considered. I do plan to add an outboard amp to the classik as soon as funds allow, probably an LK140 or thereabouts, to get a more dynamic result. I know that Linn products have always had a synergy about them, and I am cheifly interested in an involving and emotional system. I listen to mostly rock (classic to metal) and upbeat fusion type jazz. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
