Harbeth P3ESR+Linn Sub or Bigger Harbeth Speakers
swap the katans for aktiv ninkas, and sell off the sub. that's the answer here. 
Non-Linn Speakers for a Linn Stereo System
OK, I see. In that case, since you essentially will be sticking with four channels in that 4200 amp, you can look at the Linn floorstanding Ninkas speakers, which can be driven aktiv with four channels - using one stereo bass aktiv card card on tw... 
Non-Linn Speakers for a Linn Stereo System
Are you saying you specifically don't want Linn speakers? Because the new Linn Majik 140s, with four drivers per speaker, would match up with those to run quad wired passive or quad aktiv. That's what they're made for. The 140s are less than two g... 
Is Linn gear sensitive to cables?
The premium Linn Interconnects are called the Linn Silver, and retail for about $250 per 1.2 meter pair. They are, IMO, for certain a significant enhancement over basic $100 cables. If you're cables are also in the premium class like the Linn Silv... 
Linn Majik vs Wakonda.LK85
I guess if you were going to fully swap out your system like that, you should set it up so you can do a further upgrade to an aktive tukan system - which would be pair of tukans, the wakonda, two amps (either both L85s or one L140 and one L85) and...

New Linn Majik-i or Naim Nait 5i with Linn Ninkas
The Majik is not right to drive the Ninkas. The proper setup would for those speakers would be to go with a preamp and two amps with aktiv cards. The Magik is best suited for small to medium bookshelf speakers. 
Linn amps with Keilidhs- will 2 x 140's make a dif
I have Kelieh, and have gone from passive, then to bi-active, and then to tri-activ. I have to tell you that as far as bang for the buck, going Aktiv is the only sound choice. At minimum, with what you have in the 85 and 140, I would recommend thr... 
Should I buy a third Linn lk85.
I had a setup similar to yours. I had a Majik and an LK100, biamped to a pair of Keilidh. This sounded great. But I foolishly blew the Majik amp last month.Instead of fixing the Majik, I bought a used Kairn Pro preamp. And I also bought a second L...
