Majik/Genki vs Classik


Has anyone had experience comparing these Linn components? Is the Majik + Genki combo worth it over the Classik?

I've owned the Classik and loved it. Not reference, but very good. The Genki player is superior, however the Majik I found to be very thin sounding. I'd vote the Classik overall.
I'd spend a few more bucks and get separates....unless this is a second system and space is a big consideration. The Classik can sound very nice with the correct speakers though.

Happy listening,

I have owned both and the Majik is superior sounding to the Classik - though the classik has some really nice features and is great value. The Majik is among the best integrateds out there, and partnered with the Genki, would be slightly more satisfying than the Classik. As a sidenote I would not bother with the variable outputs of the Genki - to me they just don't sound right. The Majik/Genki would be a beautifully smooth combination. Also, despite its meagre 33 watts it seems more powerful than the Classik as well.
I've been considering a Classik (and now the Majik/Genki combination) for an office system and was wondering what speakers you guys have used along with them and any recommendations you might have. Thanks!
