I've used both Ninkas and Katans (with a Mimik). Given your musical taste, I would recommend the Ninkas. The difference is bass response is quite significant. If you listen to a lot of rock, the Katans will leave you wanting for a bit more bass and you will probably eventually start looking for a sub for augmentation. I've also used Katans with a Linn sub in order to pump up the bass a bit. However, I found the integration not quite as good as when I just used the larger Ninkas. $750 for Ninkas is too good to pass up.
Linn Ninkas vs Linn Katans
I was wondering if Linn Ninkas $750.00 for demos that I can pick up would be better than nice used Linn Katans $675.00 in a 12 x 15 room 8 foot speakers. System consists of a Cary V12R tube amp (getting all new tubes tomorrow RUBY) Cary SLP98P tube preamp (new) Linn Mimik II CD Player Linn Kudos Tuner Linn Sondek 12 TT Valhalla. I have the option of also using a Klipsch SW10 II 100 watt powered subwoofer. I have Klipsch Quartets that I like now but may just be looking for something new. Oh yeah, Blues Rock and Roll Country and loud. Thanks to all for helping!
