Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin


Hi

Talked to a dealer of linn and he proclamid that the solos where much superior to the klimax chakra twin.
Well he must say that bcause the cost twice as much.

However somthing that puzzels the solos are 8 year old amps and do not have the newest chakra teknologi
the chakra twin is a product from 2005 with the new chakra teknology.

Since i dont need brutal powwer for my higly efficent speaker wouldent the klimax chakra twin be the way to go ?

Hi Dfarmer

Just to make sure i understand you right

So basicly The twin have a different layout then the solos ?
And there for even if the twin now is the chakra twin the solos are better made still.

am i getting it right?

regards
i just wanted this thread to know that i getting the solos
Found a pair from 2002 at a fair price

i will post my findings when the are here.

i heard the klimax chakra the other day with majik frontend and i was so releafed because now i know that the linn klimax are right up my ally i simplt loved it

it sounded like if it wassent there

only the music was heard and it boggies to

A littel lean but based on my experinces with top notch frontends i know that the leannes disapears when a amp gets its signal from my frontend.

I also know now why the linn amps sound more then fantastic with the cremonas .

regards
Tda,
Congrats!! youve made a wise choice. Ive also read that the later model solos are better than early..so a 2002 model should be great!!! love to hear your feedback
Hi jaf

Now i got contacted by a norwegin delaer (inside EU) and he has a pair for sale the are 2000 models the cost the same price but here in dont have to worry by danish customs an will save me alot of trouble and maby alot of money.

I asked the same qustian and here is what he came up with (he is a certified dealer )

Standby time (i.e. the time it takes for the Klimax to go into standby

if left idle) changed from 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

sorry for the delay...was out of town....Linn even states that they are always seeking to optimize performance in their products, even throughout product lifecycle...but not states as "upgrades". even linn Klout amplifier, their previous flagship amp, the later ones were better than earlier ones... just how much are you standing to save on a 2000 set vs 2002? you can also get the serial# and give it to Linn for a history of the unit
