New kid on the block....


I'm upgrading from my Bryston 4B ST.
I am seeing some but not alot of info on Linar audio from Victor Sima.
Is this line of his ,the new kid on the block?
His Sim Audio line was excellent.
Is the Linar Audio and the 250 amp a lateral move from the 4B ST ..or a upgrade or a down grade??
Does this line compete with the Sim Audio Line??
I can't find alot on this line.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I've never heard the Bryston 4B ST but Linar is a must to listen !
If you are looking for pure music reproduction, well...
I've listened to the new Linar 250i amp with the new linar preamp and i can tell that they both are a must to consider when searching for very top quality gear.
They cost $10750can. (US$7690) together and they can easily
be compared to much more expensive gears.
I bought the Linar 150 in 4 channels configuration
with the preamp in order to bi-amp my BESL S5 full range speakers that i'm presently building.
The 150 is presently used on some small french "Pierre Étienne Léon" monitors and using a DVP-S9000es and the sound and stereo image is incredible, the quietness in the background of the music is first class, i even enjoy my cheep $100 Kenwood digital tuner now with this amp and preamp !
I've replaced a good Copland CSA-28 hybrid integrated amp
and the Linar have much more life in the sound, much more powerfull and the pleasure to listen to music is increased
a big step up. I had first class service from the Linar team
too.
