I have a set that are tri-amped (older LK100s)with active cross-overs in the amps. Good mid-level speaker, especially run active (I thought they were a little flat and lifeless run passive). Very quick with a strong, deep punch in active mode. Linn tweeters have a particular flavor that some dislike; somewhat closed-in, although very natural; essentially lack that expansive air that some tweeters have. Depth, width and dimensionality of soundstage are medium. There are certainly better, more-resolving speakers out there, but you have to get into the real expensive stuff. Cabinets are great looking, but not as thick and sturdy as old Kaber for example, which was like a thin monolith on a granite platform.
