Linn Majik, Karik- speaker match-up?


...any non Linn speakers that would "go" with Linn Majik, Karik combo, that doesn't need more power. Up to $1000,(new/used) i am interesed in Legacy studio's. i would appreciate more suggestions from owners of Linn eq. that use other speakers. Listen mostly classical, from Mahler to Vivaldi's guitar, choruses,...mostly acoustic instuments and voices. Thanks

Thank you John! I checked some reviews on "Audioreview" and it looks "pretty good". Which monobloKs did you get Klimax?
Nope, a pair of second-hand LK240s that I found on this site. They're a little "dry" sounding compared to the LK85 I had, and the Majik as I remember it. But VERY detailed and fast with tighter, more textured bass. That's another benefit of the floor-standing Kestrels. They have transmission-line bass loading. I don't feel shortchanged for my wants in the bass department. The Klimaxes well exceed the law of diminishing returns. My aspirations are much more modest, with more cash left over for LPs! (and a few CDs, too)
I have owned the Majik and Meadowlark Kestrel combo at home, and I think, that for the money the Kestrel is hard to beat. Lively and airy top end, with an awesome tight and tuneful bass that is hard to believe for a speaker so small. You can get a pair used for 650-750. good luck, Ryan Stratton
Great! I would be interested in your opinion of the Meadowlarks in your system. Let me know what you think of them. I think they're a great match with Linn. With my current setup, I would someday (within 5 yrs.) aspire to the "Hot Rod" Herons, perhaps via the Shearwaters.
