Linn question

do ALL linn speakers incorporate active crossovers? I have a pair of Linn Helix's hooked up to a B&K avr 307, im thinking i need the aktiv tune box now, do I ?

Justy - I believe Linn has been advocating active amplification since the beginning. It is a more costly but ultimately a more logical and efficient approach to amplification - I find it astonishing that maufacturers of very expensive speaker systems are still designing passive systems. It doesn't make sense. Marketing perhaps? You may be able find used active modules (which get placed inside the tune box)for the Helix's - but obviously you don't NEED them unless you want to bypass the passive crossovers in the helix's and go active. To do this you would also need to bi-amplify, because with aktiv amplification each driver requires its own channel.

yeh! active is good--cards go in amp---keep linn gear with linn gear and all will fine--no need to mix and match-linn spends time getting there componants to sound good----
