The Classik/Tukan is a very balanced match - any change would trigger a chain-reaction of further upgrades. If you go active many would advise you to go with a better pre, and certainly a better source - and that is after you have already spent 2K+ on amps and active cards. Suddenly, instead of astonishing performance in a simple package as with the classik/tukan, you now have numerous boxes and cables, and you've spent almost 10K. The improvement would be noticable, but small relative to the expense. You are at the critical point of being in control of your habit and becoming an addict. Myself? I am an addict!
Upgrade for Linn Classik
Hello,
I am currently very happy with my the one-box solution of the Linn Classik. Although I feel that it matches well with Linn Tukan speakers that I am currently using, I am looking to upgrade and am unsure what to do next. Let me be upfront with my preference for PRaT that tends to be Linn's speciality.
I have thought about buying new speakers (perhaps Ninkas, Dynaudios or B&W, but only because I have actually heard these) but seeing how that would cost as much as buying an extra amplifier (or two) I have not ruled out this option. The advantage of the latter route is that I could possible Aktivate my Tukans, although I am not sure of how well the Classik's pre-outs would handle this.
I would appreciate any comments from people who have experience with Linn systems/the Classik/any of the above speakers.
Thanks.
