I recently helped a friend buy a new Classik and then paired it with Meadowlark Kestrel Hotrods. It's a very sweet combination, very easy to place in a medium-small room and at a total price of $2,000 ($1,100 new for the Classik and $900 used for the Kestrels) embarassingly close in performance to my McCormack/Proac set-up.
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.
