Going Aktiv


I took the plunge and ordered a second Linn AV5140 and will be making the jump to full Aktiv on my front three speakers (Linn AV5140s / Linn Ekwal).

Has anyone removed the passive x-overs before? Just curious how involved it will be to get them out of the enclosures. I'm guessing I could pull the woofer out and just reach in and grab it??

TIA

It really was simple... just pop out the rear woofer. Remove the passive x-over - cut the leads and re-solder the speaker wires to the aktivator card.

I am simply blown away by the changes. I thought this was a good system while passive - but aktiv makes the old passive 5140's sound like ass.

I highly recommend going aktiv to anyone with a Linn system!
