I have owned several Linn Classiks and one Nad L-40. The Linn is by far a better sounding unit, built quality is simply awesome. The current model, the Classik-K, allows you to connect up to five of them to have distributed music in your home. It also has a 7 day alarm which makes it a great system for the bedroom. I have used them with Linn's Katans and Dynaudio 52-SE. I suggest that you use speakers with an efficiency of at least 88 db for best results in a medium size room. One last word, the supplied speaker connectors aren't the best out there, I have used with great success the Nordost Z-Plugs and Linn's K-400 or
