Linn speakers

I'm currently using Linn Sara's and looking to upgrade. I like the sound of the isobarik woofer(s) and the highs very much. But I'm looking for more detail in the mids and better imaging. The Sara's are a 2-way design. I'm thinking that a 3-way speaker might provide the improvement I'm looking for - but I still want the isobarik design. I know that Linn no longer uses the isobarik design in their current speakers, so I'm obviously looking for something used. I am aware of the Keltik, but that's probably out of my price range (and is active only?). Did Linn make anything else that meets my criteria? -

3-way speaker,
Isobarik woofer design,
Can be driven passively (ability to reconfigure for bi/tri-amping would be nice),
Price range would have to be equivelant to one model down from the Keltik.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info. Twl, when you say there is no conversion, are you saying that the DMS can not even be bi-amped passively?

Twl, After reading your description of the DMS again, it's starting to sound familiar. Was this model also known simply as "The Isobarik" or some such? I'm thinking of a speaker that had multiple tweeters, firing in various directions and maybe multiple midranges as well. Is this the same animal or something different?

Patrick, Let me ask just a couple basic questions here. Are the Keilidh's three-way? Are they isobarik? Can you bi-wire passively with the Keilidh's? I'm probably not interested in going active, but I'll just ask anyway; How much for the Keilidh's with all the associated stuff (used cost)? Have you ever heard the Keilidh's driven passively or bi-amped passively? How do they stack up to the Sara's in that configuration?

Thanks

Twl, OK any idea how much the DMS weigh? I seem to remember their being quite big. And in the passive configuration how much power does it need? From the description, it sounds like a hog. My Plinius 8200 is rated at 175 W.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a non-active Keltik? And if so, can it be bi-amped passively?

Thanks for all the help.
