Yes it is, sorry I took so long replying. I guess no-one is interested in the bundle. Happy about the cable!

Re: Complete Aktiv Linn Katan setup in Cherry, black AV 5125, stereo Aktiv cards, and K400.

This would make a great second system for kitchen or bedroom for someone, or a great starter system. All due respect to Frederik and his need for a perfect test speaker, I think this setup is better, more livable, as a daily driver than my new setup. I'm gonna miss them!

I'm interested in the whole bundle. 109's, 6100, kards, 1 kable. I tried to send you a PM for a few details, but it's stuck in my outbox. I have sent PM's here in the past, perhaps I've been inactive for a period of time. Hopefully it'll be sorted in the morning.

Re: Performance with Linn sub's

Musicality remains my question. That's why I keep asking if anyone has hear the ones I link to. Bottom line my Katans are a delight, but they don't communicate the lower information. I just want something that can fill in that gap within my budget and space constraints. I honour your search for perf...

Re: Performance with Linn sub's

Thanks Frederik Perhaps I'm fracked as there is only one place WAF/space constraint allows a subs placement. Perhaps I can angle it a bit, but there is only one spot for it. I was more worried about how to set them up frequency-wise. The Katans (Aktiv) say they roll off at 60Hz, do you overlap the s...

Re: Performance with Linn sub's

Yes, I've seen the comments on the "other" forum. Part of me wants to go to a 109, the other Ninkas, so yes, I understand your comments Frederik. A dynamik 5125 will be great for bi-aktiv Ninkas (which also may save the need for a sub...???), and also for my lowly Katans. I never worry about resale,...

And you've never heard a BK unit? Any scuttlebutt on them? Many on AVS vociferously laud them, saying they are OEM's for other brands etc. Your take on REL is interesting.

I posted this on the mothership, most folks here are there, but I thought there might be more geeky input here. Anybody else using a sub with their Katans (or anything else) in Aktiv mode? I think I've decided to buy a a BK Electric XLS200 MK2. It came down to this unit, or the REL low end (T series...

I was hoping someone would invoke skeets. I don't understand them. Are skeets a hard ceramic like material? Do they attach to stands, or are the spikes of a stand supposed to sit in a small depression in the top of them while the skeets sit on the floor? What is on the bottom of the skeets? If this ...

Hi, my name is Geoff, and I'm a pirate. I've been on a FLAC binge these past few days (nearly 100GB) and have grabbed so many, so as I get them I push a few nuggets through the HRT and I am just staggered by the quality I'm getting with my humble HRT + Classik source.

I'm staggered by my Katan's Aktiv. I found a good Linn AV5125 for US$800 on Ebay, and the stereo Aktiv cards for GBP175. Could you simply sell your amp and go Aktiv? If yes, also try to find a set of used K400 and you'll be over the moon. If you go this route, look on the Linn forums for how to hook...
