Listened to and viewed for over an hour the Linn Movie Classik. Excellent picture quality and very musical in stereo all through B&W speaks. An excellent piece overall. I settled on the NAD L-70 because of respectable performance and $1,000 price tag. If you have the bucks it is a great machine with very high WAF if that's a factor. Musically superior to the NAD.
Just bought one. I'm using it with the Classik Speaker System (5 Unik speakers + Afekt subwoofer) but with the 2 fronts replaced with Linn Kans (for music listening).

The sound quality is excellent, the CD/DVD player very fully featured (even plays MP3 CDs). The tuner is very sensitive and filters out the rubbish, well worth installing a decent aerial if you don't have one. Just about everything can be adjusted, either via on-screen menus, or via the front panel display.

With the Kans, the CD player really shows its class - crisp, clear, well-defined soundstage, with a surprisingly punchy bass.

Last night I watched 'The sum of All Fears', and the sound effects and picture quality blew my socks off. There's a nuclear blast half way through where my walls and floor shook - that was the subwoofer - but I could still hear the high-pitched wind effects clearly... my hair stood on end, fantastic. I spent the rest of the film giggling from the shock. I hope the neighbors weren't scared!

The only negatives? an over complicated remote control (but I'll be using a Pronto anyway), and an audible fan that cuts in occasionally - so think I'll put it behind the glass doors in my TV cabinet.
