Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin
Congratulations on the purchase of Solos! Since you have already heard the Charkra Twin in your system, when you receive your Solos, you will have a good reference to compare with. I would be really interested to find out your take of the differen... 
Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin
Tda 2200,I feel the same way as you do about Linn's amps, they are more about refinement than brute power, but when required, they provide the goods too. My Chakra Twin gives better control, and sounds more powerful than my previous amp of which r... 
Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin
In my 2 cents, your Cremonas are already sweet sounding speakers, matching them with the Chakra Twin would give you even more sweetness and musicality, on the other hand, with the solos you would get extra speed, weight, and control. By direct com... 
Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin
I do not know how true it is, I read a couple of times from a Japenese audio Magazine---Stereo Sound---that the Chakra Twin has the reputation in Japan that it sounds better than the Solos. It does make sense though, as you have pointed out, the T...

Thanks guys for the suggestion!! I will certainly look into the 23.5. Too bad, the one listed here on Audiogon has been sold.How about the newer 331 and 380S? are they any good? are they a good match?

bi-amp question
Bob,Thanks for your suggestion. Playing with ideas, I could also change to more efficient floor standing speakers, which maybe be one of the better approach for me in term of getting sonic upgrade and keeping my system simple. However, I do like m... 
bi-amp question
Jeffreybehr,Thanks for the answer and correction. When I refer to "designed to do the job", I meant the Linn Klimax "Solo" is a mono amp, it is designed to be used in multiple configuration in serving multi-channel system. I can see clearly now th... 
ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound?
Saxo,In my experience with Wadia 270SE transport, what you read---good or bad---are probably correct. The transport is excellent in many ways, I was thrilled when I first got it, but after the initial "wow" factor is over, I noticed it has an "edg... 
Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
Greg,I do feel we share similar preference, even I have not owned any Audio Physics. I have been looking into a floor stander to replace my Dynaudio C1 monitor. The Virgo III and the Avanti III were among my top choices. I like the clean line and ... 
Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
Greg,In the June issue of Stereophile there was a review of A.P. Scorpio. In it, Michael Fremer stated: "The Avanti III, which I reviewed in the August 2001 issue, was far more capable in everyway than the Virgo II, it was my reference for a few y... 
Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
Taking your subjest a bit side way, I was very impressed by the new Sonics speaker lines---www.sonicsonline.de/---designed by Joachim Gerhard---the original founder of Audio Physics---at the Home Entertainment show. I believe the Virgo II was stil... 
comparison of mk1 vs mk2 of reimyo dap-777
There is a review by Dagogo: http://www.dagogo.com/HarmonixDAP-777Borden.html which I think you will find interesting to read, and it pretty much answers your question. I own a new Reimyo DAC and like it, but I have no experience with the old vers...
