I can't offer you much advise on the pre amp, I use an AV5103 (as my system is set up for both HT and music) and love it. I also have the AV5140's as my fronts, and would recomend more power to drive them. Try the AV5105's, far more power than the Lk 85, or perhaps the Lk140. The 5140's can really handle power, and require quite a bit to play loud.
"All Linn" ... is it still a good idea ?
My local Linn-dealer suggesting the following system to me:
Genki (cd player), Kairn (pre-amp), Lk 85 (amp), Pair of AV 5140 speakers. My question is how critical is Kairns pre-emp for the entire system? What would you change in this combination? Any experience?
Also, I do like the sound of Martin Logans Request speakers?
Is it an option to substitute Linn AV 5140 by ML request?
