I am running the Kolector/LK140/Genki/Ninkas and totally love this setup. I would recommend super-sizing the LK85 to the LK140. I have not listened to the 5140s so I cannot comment on them, but I am very impressed with the Ninkas. If you are considering running the Genki off of the LK85, I would think twice. I don't think it sounds nearly as good as going through a preamp.
"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?
