After a life times interest in hi-fi I own a predominantly Linn system (power amplifiers and speakers) and no longer feel the need to upgrade. The irony is that I now own the best hi-fi system I have ever owned, whilst possessing the worst hearing I have ever had.😂
I’m the same, have a linn active system, must be more than 15yrs old now, still don’t feel the need to change, after going through a long period of box swapping.😅
I love Linn. I have 2 LK140's, 1 LK85 and 3 Kolektors, all in mint condition & problem free, which I enjoy every day in 3 different simple systems with different non Linn speakers. I could not be happier and have never suffered from the upgrade bug. Nonetheless, I am always interested in what Linn is doing, even though I am done buying, unless something can't be fixed. Linn For Life!
I am assuming that this was designed with a pair of passive Linn 360s in mind. Just curious what would be better, to integrate the entire system into the speakers or having the DAC sit in the Klimax DSM and the amp outside the speakers.
They certainly had the 360 PWAB speaker in mind - but I think are targeting people using non-Linn speakers. These are amps that are designed to stand by themselves as products to be considered in high end systems - not just Linn systems. They are cool running and have the ability to drive any given speaker optimally. Klimax Solo 800 features novel and Linn-original technologies which combine to produce staggeringly low distortion measurements, with superb signal-to-noise ratio and incredible efficiency. ripcaster.co.uk/Linn_Klimax_Solo_800_Power_Amplifier
