"All Linn" ... is it still a good idea ?

My local Linn-dealer suggesting the following system to me:
Genki (cd player), Kairn (pre-amp), Lk 85 (amp), Pair of AV 5140 speakers. My question is how critical is Kairns pre-emp for the entire system? What would you change in this combination? Any experience?
Also, I do like the sound of Martin Logans Request speakers?
Is it an option to substitute Linn AV 5140 by ML request?
