Linn klimax gear with Sonus Faber Cremona


specifically interested in anyone with experience using linn gear with cremona speakers. ive got klimax kontrol, klimax chakra twin, lp12 max'd out..cufrrent speakers are akurate 212s with 221 sub...im looking for more, bigger fuller, but not overwhelming...im told cremonas are quite musical/smooth and do pair well with Linn gear. im trying to audition myself, at least my pre and power combo...they are rated to 32hz...how do the perform on the low end... thanks everyone

Personally I would go for a more neutral sounding speaker. Linn has warm/romantic sound and SF is also not the most neutral speaker manufacturer out there. I really do like SF but a combo with Linn might be a bit to much colouration. I think Dynaudio or Thiel would be a better match to my ears. or maybe even Totem.

But this is just my opinion.

About 8 years ago I was in the market for an amp. Back then I reviewed Linn, Creek, Rega, Naim, Rotel and Arcam. Linn, Creek and Rega all sounded veiled to me. I have to say in the case of Linn it could also be the speakers. All the amps I heard with SF speakers except for the Linn that was on Linn speakers.

The Rotel was the best back then for me.
