Linn Keltic speakers
I am considering an "upgrade" from Linn 5140 for my main speakers to Linn Keltics. Any experience with these speakers? I once heard a system at a show with Keltics for the mains and 5140 for the rear surrounds and many people expressed that they thought the sound was the best in the show. I use a Yamaha 3090 for the processor ( soon to be upgraded to Meridian 561) and Adcom 5802 amps. If I go with the Keltics I will power them with Linn Klout amps in active mode.
