Hi fgarciab Based only on some of the equipment you have that I have actually heard. My best suggestion would be: Go for the 2 klouts you have and then as you say go for a third. Sell the LK100 & 140 & Mimik. c£600 and get an Ikemi(C£800?) or other upgrade to the mimik. I had 3 klouts active with Ni...

Hi Komri,

The packs are available to order now from Linn dealers.(c. £140??) Ive seen the install sheet, and it seems very straight forward to do the alteration.

Perhaps Kevin will report back on sound quality once he has his installed.

Steve.

Thanks Fredrik, I guess Im just displaying another shade of "upgradeitis". IF a £30 - £40 driver sounds like this, and Im guessing that the recommended peerless in the same price range will be similar, then a £200 driver MUST be better! On your "checklist" I could cope with number 2. But Id be a bit...

Frederik, Thomas, et al. Just a curiosity question. Now I have the Monacor mids fitted, and personally liking them better than what was present before, I was wondering if its possible to go yet another step? As discussed in the thread, Linn have sourced a midrange/mid.woofer which is supplied as a p...

Thanks Bbyte. I know, I would have prefereed to wait for the KlimaxDS - wouldnt we all! But I jut couldnt afford one at the minute, whereas the Akurate is in reach. IF it happens not to sound good etc. Im sure it will be something that will easily sell on. I also like to have the time to listen in m...

Just placed an order for one! Ill let you know how it sounds, once it arrives in the new year! I was allowed to get one for Xmas!! LOL.

Happy Xmas all!

steve.

Frederik, agree. Just out of interest I have been reading some of the requirements for DS installation. This now adds network building/maintenance and all the jargon and expertise this entails. I also read somewhere that Linn suggest that if the level of knowledge is insufficient, there are college/...

Frederik,

Sorry, my mistake. Misunderstood the question!

Hi Both

Depends on the age of the LK100's. The early ones did require a couple of resistors to be desoldered and the active card wiring loom was soldered to various points on the pcb.

Steve.

ML, Let me start by saying that over the last 10-15 years I have owned a fair number of the Linn speaker range - keilidh, ninka, 242, artikulat. In truth I could have stayed with them all and enjoyed them. Im not syaing it wouldnt be difficult to hear the difference between kelidhs and 350's! BUT I ...

Hi Kevin, I have, at last, had everything running for about 3 days now, having had the Kinos returned early week after its second visit to Linn. I am VERY pleased with how everything is sounding - I had thought the keltiks would be something to try and then possibly sell. I really think they will be...

Allen As above, I wont be taking delivery until the week commencing 26/11. If others have them I too would be delighted to hear about how they sound. If its of any interest, Neil at Wilmslow audio was able to source a Monacor SPW-150/8S unit with very similar specs. Ive ordered a couple to try - onl...

Pediatrik, I dont think I have the "professional" experience of some of the members of this forum, but I did get the opportunity to undertake the Linn training course for 4 days in Feb. past. Great experience, not least having a play with all the gear!! Part of the training featured sessions on "tun...

M.L. and others, After getting the XO and then the kinos back, and now almost working 100%, Ive had a complete weekend just listening to the system. I have to say that those who sing the praises of Keltiks are right, Im finding them to be exceptionally good. I really wanted to try the keltiks becaus...

Hi All, Had the Kinos back for a couple of days now following repair at Linn. While there it had the newest software installed. Anyone have any problems with this? eg. I can go into set up and be on what seems to be the "jazzy" new screen, and on the next occasion go in and Im back on the old white(...

Kevin, Had an email response today. PAC 1325 is now avalable for order. Ive placed an order via my dealer, and would therefore expect a delivery in the next few days. The view still seems to be that this is a better "mid range" than previous models. Ill ceratinly let you know in a few weeks how I th...

Hi Kevin, No not a thing. I think we have been talking a bit about this on the other forum. Given the comments from Thomas re. the Peerless driver, and the fact the pack is now a few days late, it was my intention to give them a call early this coming week for an update. Ill let you know if there is...

Thomas, Ill certainly use the spec. sheet to point this out to the technical dept. at Linn in Glasgow. It may well be that this is the "best" fit/match available! But as you can see from the information provided it appears to be being sold on the basis of an improvement/upgrade - because it is a "de...

Thomas, According to the email from the Techies at Linn; "As far as build quality goes, the only bit of the unit which is 'inferior' to the SPKR 007 is the basket. The original SPKR 007 was designed as a bass/mid and therefore had a stronger chassis. The replacement unit is a true midrange and is th...

Kevin, Yes, like you I was none too sure about them, but they are Peerless. Having spoken to the "techies" Im fairly optimistic that once we have all the bits they will be worthwhile! Ill keep hold of the old ones though, just in case! If you are still keen to give it a try, what you need is: PACK 1...

Hi Kevin, Interested to hear how you get on. I received 2 Peerless SC14WG49 mid ranges from Linn just over a week ago. They didnt fit, holes dont allign, no new gaskets to cope with the "rounded" flange etc. so I sent them back. Apparently they are just finallising a "pack" which will contain all th...

Hi All, Just a small update on whats been happening in the ups and downs of the Hi Fi hobby!! Couple of problems: the Digital Board on the Kinos "blew up" and is now with Linn for repair. This, just after getting the Klimax XO returned; DC leakage on the phonos - 2 new resistors. However, the intere...

Hi Linnofil, I cant comment on Kans at all as Ive never heard them! I do believe they are difficult to open up, but have seen notes on the Pink Fish forum. If you wanted to keep the parts original the early Kan tweeter is part No: 2E - 140/H £64.79 each! Having just bought a pair of "Ninka" or unive...

Hi again, Ok at last everything is here connected up and working! The only glitch is that one of the XO's(I think) has a bit of a buzz, but once I establish that it really is the XO Ill get it fixed. Both Keltiks have the new tweets fitted(mids are on order with Linn) and cosmetically they look grea...

Broccoli/Frederik Yes, again agreeing about the switches - which is why all the sockets on the "spur" are "switchless". Another consideration(when does it stop!!) is; do better plugs/fuses etc help the sound? I have tried the fairly widely available ceramic "Hi Fi " fuses, and certainly felt there w...
