Great choise! You could check out the >manual<, but if you are not into setting-up Linn speakers (as your question implies) I recommend that you get in contact with an experienced Linn dealer who will sort these things out for you and install the speakers properly at the same time. As careful positioning (down to the last mm) is essential for taking fulla advantage of your set-up. It will be woth every penny!

Connecting the Kikkin to the amps is straightforward - just connect the Kikkin to one of the amps (I'd recommend the amp driving the tweeters) and connect that amp to the second amp. Linn amps have both line in and line out connectors to allow this daisy-chaining.

Connecting the amps to the speakers when you are using 5 channels per speaker is more complicated. If you aren't comfortable with doing this I would highly recommend having a professional do it as errors can result in damage to the speakers and/or amps.

That's correct. The serial number cutoff is 1144285 for the new versions. I amy have a line on a set of these cards if you need them.
