I had an all Linn system (now my 2nd system) and added MS5 speakers. Was running 3 LK85's with the Kolector preamp. The speakers needed more power so I went with a McIntosh MC402 and the the sonics are much better. Bass and soundstage improvements I still use the Linn Preamp but have added a Pro-ject Tube Box SE 2 for the phono stage. I am satisfied however I have been told that changing the preamp to the McIntosh 2300 would be another enhancement. Of course that's another $5K or so and will have to wait. My advice, if you want to keep your Linn componants, would be to add a REL subwoofer to your existing system. That really improved my Linn system.
Linn Gear with Dali Speakers????
Ive become quite interested in Dali speakers, specifically the Euphonia MS4s. DIfficult to arrange a demo, thus the question. My system is currently an all Linn system, with Klimax Kontrol Pre, Klimax Chakra Twin power amp, max'd LP12, speakers are akurate 212 stand mounted, 221 bass reinforcement speaker. my goal, if possible, is to maintain what i have regarding musicality, and improve upon the lower end, bass slam, air movement, etc. The Dali's look beautiful...much more attractive than Linn speakers, and I do enjoy a nice looking product as well as a great performing product. So, anyone with any experience specifically in my situatiion, or even remotely close to it would be appreciated...thanks everyone. Lastly, these seem to be selling at a very good price second hand...is that cause for concern?
