Should I buy a third Linn lk85.

Take it from a fellow LINNIE, get the Genki and an additional LK85. If you are not using it yet, the K400 and/or K600 provides the best true LINN performance.

Absolutely get the third LK85 and go aktiv. When you can afford it, get a used Kairn Pro and a better CD player. I liked my Genki, but as Ikemi prices seem to be coming down, I'd hold out for the Ikemi. I agree with Dedicatedaudio, there's nothing that sounds better on a Linn aktiv system than K600.

Bunkers: which route did you go? Is the classik still your source? Interested to hear where the limitations of the Classik start to come in...

I would get a pair of av 5140's, instead of Ninka.

If you are truly running aktiv from the LK85s, ie with a treble and bass card, go for a new CD player. And if you can, the upgraded bases for Ninkas make a HUGE difference.

LINN are proponents of, and it's worked well in my experience- drop the cash on the front end first and work your way back to the speakers.

Genkis and Wakondas are getting to be very reasonable.
