Linn Keltic speakers

LINN SOUND I do not think that the technology is an issue. Having 4 amps power your speakers with active crossovers is a sound technological principle. The problem is the LINN sound. LINN claims that what you are hearing is a sound so neutural that you have to get used to it. Well, I dunno about that. I realy dont like the sound of LINN's speaker systems. I prefer the Keldih's to any other speaker that they make. Unfortunately, Nobody else makes LINN Ready speakers so when you junk your speakers you have to junk your electronics which is a huge waste. There are many manufacturers of Good Bi ampable speaker systems that to my ears sound superior to LINN's full blown active systems. I prefer my 1100.00 3A MM's to anything LINN makes and I've tried TRI Amped kabers and BI Amped Keldihs in my system over the years. This is a strange phenomenon because everything else LINN makes is realy great for the money stuff in my opinion. Maby LINN needs to build some more North Americanized speakers. Not everybody lstens to Audiophile Classical Music LP's.

not to change your subject, but check out Meridian's 568 instead of the 561. It does the upsampling that the 800 does, but you lose Video switching. And it only has 2 analog ins. But the sound is to die for. Hook up any crummy transport and you will be amazed!!

"Not everybody listens to audiophile Classical music LP's"? Well, they should, cause they're really missing out...
