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 jaf

Thanks for trying i appriciat it

I have desided to get the 1999/2000 pair
first of the pair is offerd to me by a certified linn dealer so i will have garanti and no problems at all with customs
other then that the are a demo pair so the havent been used all the time and the are en perfect condition.

Even if there is a sligt improvments in the newer models it really seems that based upom what i have heard through none biased people and i have spoken at 4 people now that have experinces with the solos through the years and the difference is minimal if eny.

I will get linns best amplifires at a very good price with no worris of being cheated .

The dealer is very respected and a no bs type he has tested every klimax solo amplifire before the customer picks them up and he says that he never heard a improvment with the newer ones.

I told him dead seriously that i would think about buying a new pair if the difference was big but his oppinion diddent change on bit.

Also i dont think that linn will make intirely new amps in the futur i think that the will keep the klimax amps but offer a upgrade like the Chakra twin.

I will have them within 3 weeks and i cant waith i think the will be perfect with my SF cremonas

thanks
tda,
as they say on your side of the river CHEERS!!!
the solos are unreal! i have an all linn system, activ with 200w chakras, and akurate 212s, the bookshelf standmounted ones...i had a chance to hear the 212s with a pr of solos and it was nothing short of wonderful!! and that was at a dealer, which we all know dealer demos are very difficult, and i actually Never make a decison based on one..i either go with my gut, and if it doesnt work out, sell it, or demo at home. what preamp do you have? where r u located? please please post your findings once installed
Hi jaf

Lets put it this way when i heard the klimax twin with a unidisk sc as frontend and semicroe speakers it was like all my effort through the years of searching for a system that could give me the pure emotion of music was finaly found.

Nothing i have heard before sounded this RIGHT and musical
I had to concentrade my mind alot to take noticed of the standard audiophil values as detajl size of soundstage and so on but when i listend for those things the where all there at least as good as the best out there but man do the klimax make you soul happy and let you enjoy MUSIC .

IF the solos are even better im in for a mighty treat also i will have my favorit speakers the sonus faber cremonas.

I use a aberdeen components moddfied slimdevices transporter hardisk music player and it sounds unreal it also have preamp function so it will send the signal stright to the solos like the sc keeping the signal as short as possible enhancing the dynamics and eleminating harshness brightness wich is somthimes picked up by lesser preamps

Il put it against eny thing out there only upgrade on that front is the new linn sondek cd12 wich will also use hardisk playback tech

Il put it against eny thing out there only upgrade on that front is the new linn sondek cd12 wich will also use hardisk playback tech
And yes i will let this treat know when the arrive

I will proberly also make a system profil on this site

il be back
