Best integrated amp for Linn Tukans?

Get the Bryston, the Majik is underpowered and you'll never hear what the Tukans can do. They may be the only Linn product thats any good. Pull them out from the wall, use solid, sand filled stands and bi-wire them. Nordost cable will bring out the best in the Tukans.

Thanks longplate.....i have them on nice solid, sand filled stands already and they are biwired with linn k400 cable. Also...how far do you recommend putting them from the wall. I have been told about 6-8 inches because anything further really hampers their bass.

Just got my Tukans about a month ago. Although the Majik is underpowered (only 33wpc) I decided to go for it anyway. For fairness, the only other stuff I tried was from NAD (don't remember model number.)

I chose the Makik for a couple of reasons. First, it gave me an upgrade path to activating the Tukans. Although I have not heard Active Tukans myself, I have been told from several trusted sources that they sound amazing. To activate them, you will need another couple of amplifiers and the active cards (from linn, about $200.) With another brand of integrated, I think you need something called the Tune box, which is an additional $400 (I think, but am not sure.)

Also, there is some truth to the "Linn System Synergy." So much so that I was a little scare to get the Majik and trap myself into one brand. But then I fell in love with the Ikemi and decided that somewhere down the road I might be able to pick up a used one.

My system consists of Arcam MCD, Makij, Tukans, Linn interconnect and LK400 wire. This is my first non-Sony system, so of course it is better than anything else I have owned. And for kicks last week, I turned up the Makij. It can get some serious volume for that 33 watts. For normal listening levels, it fills my room easily (500 square feet.)

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about my set up.

Good luck.

Sorry about the many typos! I guess that happens when you watch TV and type at the same time.
