2 lk-85's or 1 lk-140


so here's the deal. I've got a pair of Keilidh's and just sold my amp. (using an nad intigrated for the ear splitting time being) Going all linn on my system and an amp is my next purchase. Do I get 2 lk85's right now, bi amp, (not planning on going active, I'm soon selling my speakers and active slightly harder to sell) or for the same price go with one lk140, probably upgrading to another before too long. On that note, should I hold out for a while and get a Klout instead of 2 lk 140's?

I think you need to decide on what speakers you will use before deciding on the amp(s). Aktiv configuration is usually and incredible improvement in an all Linn system. The new line of speakers can be easily Aktiv-configured without opening the box to remove the crossover. If you never want to go Aktiv, get a 2250. Klout would be my second choice in a passive system, but two LK 85s Aktiv would easily beat a single LK 140 passive.
Your Keilidh's can be either Aktiv or passive as the crossover remains in all cases. It's just a manual change done on the inside of the cabinet. Go Aktiv. It's the best bang for the buck. You ain't heard the Keilidh's yet.
