Linn Keltik Tweeters

Thanks for your input Douglas. I also had the latest Keltik midrange units fitted, but that was a little over a year ago now. I wouldn't call the improvement "night & day" but nonetheless they did sound better. Have any more recent Keltik midrange units become available since then I wonder? Going back some years, I used to have a pair of active Isobariks, and I can still remember how incredible the improvement to the overall sound was when I replaced the treble LK280 with a Klout. The tweeters importance cannot be over estimated, and it is for this reason that I'm eager to hear from anyone who has experimented with the new soft dome in their Keltiks!

Many Thanks Hector - you've just saved me a few quid! We hi-fi junkies are always trying to get closer to the original sound, and when set up correctly, the Keltiks really deliver. I too have an Ikemi/4 Klout setup. Grainy? I used to have a Kairn until my dealer said that I should listen to Linns new AV5103 system controller (very affordable on Ebay nowadays!)- I did - it was a substantial improvement over the Kairn (A home Theatre pre-amp outperforming a dedicated hi-fi preamp - has the world gone mad?!). Bottom line? - the Keltiks are a VERY revealing speaker - the cleaner the input, the better the sound. N.B. I believe the "Klimax Kontrol" preamp is stunning!! - not seen any of these on Ebay just yet!!!

Douglas; Sorry for the late response, but I've been away from the forum for a while. I've been looking back over the forum and can't find any threads concerning Keltiks at all - maybe you could give me some clues as to where to look? As for the interconnects I'm using - it's an all Linn system - so I'm sticking to Linn interconnects - standard analogue, and K400 for the speaker cable. I did try experimenting with other (dearer) interconnects a long time ago and wasn't impressed.
