LINN KLOUT QUESTION


I bought a complete audio system which included a pair of Linn Klout Amp's at an estate sale.
One of them has a small placard next to the speaker connections stating "AKTIV BASS AMPLIFIER". Any idea what this is or means?
Going to sell the system, wifes idea, & figured I needed to learn as much as possible about it.

Yeah, there's speakers, B&W Nautilus 802's. Amazing speakers.
You're correct,it also came with the Kairn Pre-Amp, but to power the system it came with a "Platinum Power 1 Line Processor" really a nice piece if you've never seen one. I just turn it on & everything fires up.
Gonna try and sell it as a complete package first. It has the LP12 turntable, Ekos tonearm, Arkiv cartridge, Lingo pwr supply with the Linto phono stage pre-amp, wish I had more albums. Ikemi CD player & a Nakamichi DR-1 cassette. Also has Audioquest interconnects & the thickest speaker wire I've ever seen.
This brings up another question. The h/u on the 802 Nautilus speakers have 4 terminals. The amp with the AKTIVE label were run to the lower terminals on the speakers. Why do these speakers have 4 terminals?
