An option to te Nikas is the Keilidh. There are a couple for sale on Audiogon, and this is a nice step up from the Tukan. They can eventually be aktivated as well. You may also wnat to be on the lookout for LK100 amps. Thye don't give up much to the LK140's and are likely a mor einexpensive way to get started down (up?) the upgrade road. Still...i must empathize w/ the previous post. Once you start..you never end. I sold my Linn Kairn, LK100 (pair), Numerik, Karik to go into vacuum tubes...and I am still "tweaking"....
Upgrade for Linn Classik
Hello,
I am currently very happy with my the one-box solution of the Linn Classik. Although I feel that it matches well with Linn Tukan speakers that I am currently using, I am looking to upgrade and am unsure what to do next. Let me be upfront with my preference for PRaT that tends to be Linn's speciality.
I have thought about buying new speakers (perhaps Ninkas, Dynaudios or B&W, but only because I have actually heard these) but seeing how that would cost as much as buying an extra amplifier (or two) I have not ruled out this option. The advantage of the latter route is that I could possible Aktivate my Tukans, although I am not sure of how well the Classik's pre-outs would handle this.
I would appreciate any comments from people who have experience with Linn systems/the Classik/any of the above speakers.
Thanks.
