Linn majik good or not?


I am ready to get my first nice setup in along time (grad school!).
I want to get an amp, speakers & cd player and also hook up my computer which servers as a flac jukebox.
I want to spend < $2500
I have the opportunity to buy a Linn Majik new for $850 (no phono, but thats not needed anyway). I listened to it and it sounds nice for the price! But i ahve always been a fan of the simple looks of them, so I might be biased.

Is this a good piece of equipment ?
That would leave some $ for some B&W speakers.
My living room is about 14*20, so I dont need a huge amount of power and lsiten to a fairly broad range of music (classic,jazz,electronic).

Thanks!

I have owned the Majik, and I think 850.00 used sounds a bit high. I have seen them more than a few times for 600.00. It's a good sounding integrated and has some beef to it so you feel like you've got something for your money. I don't think it's much better in sound than the Creek 4330 and it's less powerful. If your not to hooked on the Linn look then you can do as good or better for less money I think, leaving you extra money to put elswhere.
