I have this combo, 6000a + lintons and in my opinión they need a more powerfull amp, maybe the 7000 or others. This comparative is gold by the way. Thank you so much!

@stephenbailey9969 Год назад

Thank you. It's clear that the Lintons will increase in sonic performance the more power you push into them.

@Reinh4 5 месяцев назад

Every speaker will shine more the more power and control you give them. Linton has 90dB sensitivity, so is quite easy to drive. 6000A probably would have to struggle when connected to speakers with 85dB sensitivity f. ex. DYNAUDIO. Would be interesting to hear the shown amps with such sort of speakers.

@34332 11 месяцев назад

For me it's clear the 7000 and 9000a are the most refined ones, with good control and definition, going up in the line-up. However, the 6000a is still a charmer by sqeezing 'everything it can' out of it in an engaging way.

@DocHarshaVardhan 3 месяца назад

Audiolab 9000A sounds the best of the 3. It sounds smooth, detailed and non-shouty. There is a cohesiveness and lack of treble glare, which is evident with the 7000A. Overall 9000A seems to be the best match for the Linton. I'm planning to connect the 9000A with my Denafrips Pontus 2 12th-1 DAC to enhance the detail retrieval further in an analogue fashion. Dim the lights, turn on the speakers with a warm drink in hand = Pure Bliss ❤

@MrComand3r 7 месяцев назад

6000a for casual listening. 9000a for more serious & refined sound. All sound good!!

@eamonndoyle4753 Год назад

The jump in quality from the 6000 to the 7000 is surprisingly higher than I would have expected.

@Reinh4 5 месяцев назад

I agree. Higher than from 7000A to 9000A imho.

@miniyouuuu Год назад

Nice step between all of them. 6000 to 7000 increases control and definition with a bit of bass punch. 7000 to 9000 clear punch improvement. Thanks for the review.

@zakindi Год назад

What is the best amplifier match you have found for the Lintons whether it be old or new? And what wattage would you recommend to drive the lintons? I often play music loud. Cheers

@Z4d0k Год назад

I'm interested to hear them paired with the new Yamaha R-N1000A.

@yippie6862 Год назад

I find the 9000a the most refined of the three. However, it is also the most boring to listen to. It lacks the bite and excitement of the 6000a and 7000a. The 6000a is less smooth. less powerful and a bit unrefined, but it is just more exciting to listen to than the 9000a. The 7000a strikes the happy medium between the two. More refined than the 6000a but more exciting to listen to than the 9000a. I'd probably choose the 7000a and save some money unless my speakers needed the extra power.

@34332 Год назад

Couldn't agree more.

@SuperJapierdole Год назад

did you test them all by your self? any opinion on dac quality?

@kattenfrederik618 Месяц назад

Last track sounds so much faster on the 9000a 🎉🎉🎉

@roa5359 26 дней назад

To be honest, I really can't hear much difference, it's minute ... at least here on youtube. If you really need more power, get the 9000A otherwise, if you have relatively efficient speakers just stick with the 6000 or 7000A. Clearly the 6000A takes it for value for money. Problem is, once you get to the 9000A price range, there are some heavy hitter contenders from the likes of Hegel, Arcam etc.

@barbarousrelic4591 Год назад

The 7000 betters the 6000 in every way, is it really that obvious in the listening room? I really wanted to try out the 6000, but not if it's that far behind the next model up.

@eckelement 7 месяцев назад

monitors are placed in reverse, left on the right and right on the left - a common mistake with lintons

@zvonimirtosic6171 5 месяцев назад

Connecting Lintons to Audiolab 6000 is a waste of Lintons. Lintons love extra juice, they need extra juice to reveal their secrets, and as much as you provide, they will use. Audiolab 7000 is merely the starting point, and barely so. Give Lintons steady 2 x 150W per channel, which means $5K+ amp, and then we're talking.

@AlexSSEfull 8 месяцев назад

Hi, after all you the videos with Lintons, what can you can suggest: Leak 230 or Audiolab 7000?

@Audiophilesdoteu 8 месяцев назад

Hi Alex, between LEAK 230 and Audiolab 7000A: 230 is the clear winner. More power and a better match :-)

@JBEVIA1 Год назад

Hello, a question please, for what reason is the 8300a left out? Thank you.

@Milikanos 10 месяцев назад

Tried to listen some skipping back and forth on the same passages.. Honestly I cant tell any worthwhile difference between them... maybe its the recording.

@gman5218 Год назад

6000a Noticeable weaker but the 7000 & 9000 sound the same to me.

@marcovanelli4215 10 месяцев назад

9000a for me it's the best , the max power for ' hungry' heritage it' s corrett. For my opinion the best buget amplifier for linton it's cambridge cxa81 ( 1.100 +/-) . Sorry for my english 😂😢direct challenge would be interesting cxa81 vs 7000 /9000a. the cxa 81 could even beat the 9000... a more open and lively sound would make the difference, perhaps a few less imperceptible details, but let's not forget that music should be 'listened to' and not 'analysed'.

@marcovanelli4215 10 месяцев назад

Cxa 81 vs 7000/9000 in classical musical, the song in the video is perfect for understanding the differences and understanding a little something even with headphones 🤟 i correct the cxa 81, it doesn't sound open, in summary I could say that it sounds 'slightly forward' and is very incisive in 'managing the current'.... the Cambridge tone, the maximum peak of current consumption, no crossover for sub..un mix of mysterious choices🤣 either you love it or you hate it but I think, I remain in doubt, however the doubt will remain about the next purchase of the 9000 or cxa81. I thank you for the video which helped me (in the shop I only heard the cxa81 and audiolab 8300, both excellent but I have a slight preference for the Cambridge tone.

@Carl-yx1ww Год назад

I prefer the 7000a out the lot

@yippie6862 Год назад

That's exactly my thoughts. I'm glad I'm not alone.

@Carl-yx1ww 8 месяцев назад

However i bought the 9000a @@yippie6862

@zvonimirtosic6171 5 месяцев назад

That's because the headphones, which we use to listen to this RU-vid video, more easily reproduce mids that Audiolab 7000 is opening up, plus the richer upper part of the bass frequencies. But to experience bass, it's punch in the stomach and its velocity, and enhanced stereo image in the room, headphones can't reproduce that well and that is where Audiolab 9000 delivers. Lintons love extra juice, they need extra juice to reveal their secrets, and as much as you provide they will use.

@Carl-yx1ww Год назад

6000a sounds best

@yippie6862 Год назад

It is defiantly the most exciting to listen to of the three. Just lacks some refinement and control of the other two.
