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?

I recently added a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mahlers to an otherwise all-Linn system with great results. I did some extensive comparisons with the Linn 242s and although both had strong points I preferred the Mahlers on most music. My Linn gear is a few rungs below yours (Axis, Unidisk 2.1., Kairn, 2250). I'm not familiar with the Dali sound but have heard good reports. I wouldn't worry too much about the good resale prices -- the same seems to be true of the Vienna line and I and lots of others have been loving them. Might be worth giving them a listen too.

Siince you may have experience with this, I might as well ask you . I've been thinking of trying to upgrade to the Linn Klimax line if I can find some used at a relatively affordable price. Did you get yours after using lower level Linn components?

Enjoy!

Jaf,

Let us know what you decide and how it works out. I was considering the Dali Euphonia line but there weren't any near by to listen to and then I stumbled on to the VA Mahlers and loved them. Also, thanks for the insight about the Klimax Control. Have you ever compared it to the Exotic or Accurate preamps by Linn? The cost of the Klimax is still a bit daunting to me. Cheers.
