I have the 10b also, it's a great piece. The things that make it better than the Marchand: Stepped attenuators (no pots at all in it.), selectable frequency without plugging in chips, a truly balanced design (not sure if the Marchand is or not.. much stuff with XLR connectors is not really balanced), a 20-year transferrable warranty, switchable 6/12/18 db/octave slopes (and a 24db LR version available also), and all discrete components (no ICs).
The Paradigm X-30 is a great little unit for ridiculously cheap money (under $100 used, $180 new).
Do your Linn speakers support Aktiv cards in the back? (eg switchable tempaltes that plug into the speaker connection area) If so, get those and a Linn amp w/ aktiv card and that will be the best biamping you can do- straight from the factory as it should be.
