Linn Pekin (US)
Selling my Linn Pekin (in black). I have the remote and the power cord (and possibly the instruction manual), but I no longer have the original box. It's in great condition and I have almost never used it. Can ship anywhere in the US. Would accept any reasonable offer. I am not sure what these go fo...

Re: Akurate Kontrol vs. Majik Kontrol preamp
Thanks for the feedback. The one I was looking at appears to be the 5.1/no headphone stage version, although it had the Dynamik supply. I may take a pass.

Akurate Kontrol vs. Majik Kontrol preamp
I have a system that includes a Majik Kontrol pre-amp, a "souped up" Rega P3 (which I will probably upgrade soon), and Katans run actively with two non-dynamik 2250 amps. I have an opportunity to purchase an Akurate Kontrol pre for a very good price, and wondered if this would be a worthwhile/signif...

Re: Majik 109 Modification
Thanks Alan. In one of your prior comments you observed that the upgrade, while worthwhile, resulted in a brighter sound. I know this is hard to verbalize, but can you elaborate on this? I ask because most of my equipment is solid state and probably doesn't need to go much brighter, and my experienc...

Re: Majik 109 Modification
Thanks - would be interested to pick up any instructions from Marco or anyone else who has done the installation himself.

Re: Majik 109 Modification
Really interesting thread. Question for those who have done this modification: did you need to do any soldering, or do the existing wires slide off the stock woofer and on to the replacement woofer? Also interested to know if everyone who has done this mod is still happy with it. Thanks.

Re: Linn Majik 109 and the competition
I take the point on "source first," but I assume the reason that Linn (for example) makes more expensive standmount speakers is that there is a limit to that proposition. In any event, my main issue with the Linn Majik 109s is that I can't quite get enough bass extension from them, and would prefer ...

Re: Linn Majik 109 and the competition
Hmmm, I hope that isn't the case - the Naim Uniti Nova is an expensive bit of kit (at least for me).

Linn Majik 109 and the competition
I recently picked up a Naim Uniti Nova, and have been running it with my Linn Majik 109 speakers. It has been suggested to me that, good though they are, the Linns are not doing justice to the much more expensive Naim unit. People have suggested that I look at speakers such as ATC-SCM 11, Harbeth P3...

Re: Majik 109 placement
Thanks. I tried it, and you are right - I can't quite describe it, but it sounds better. Unrelated question: I am using a Naim Uniti Nova integrated amp/streamer with the 109s, and am thinking of hooking up my old Afekt subwoofer to give me a bit more low end. The obvious way to do this is to connec...

Re: How best to single-wire Linn Majik 109 speakers?
Thanks. Just to be clear, then, instead of following Linn's single wiring instructions (bass + and supertweeter -), Fredrik and others recommend tweeter+ and tweeter -? I will give it a try, but would be interested in the thinking behind this. Is there any observable downside (such as weaker bass)? ...

Re:
In my opinion, single wiring the 109's is way superior to bi- or triwiring. The Treble + and - inputs should be used. I haven't been able to try bi- or triwiring here at the store but did try the different ways of connecting to the terminals and agree that Treble + and - inputs are the most musical...

How best to single-wire Linn Majik 109 speakers?
I am planning to use my Linn Majik 109 speakers with a recently purchased Naim Uniti, but am not sure how to use the speakers in a single wire configuration. The user's manual suggests using BASS + and SUPERTWEETER - on the speaker terminals. However, I think I came across a suggestions elsewhere th...
