Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin

Tda,
What kind of speakers are they? do you have other linn gear as well? do you plan to take the speakers activ, or bi/tri amp'ed? ive heard both the solos and the chakra twin on akurate 212 with klimax kontrol, magic cd. the twin is the best 2 channel amp ive heard...the solos are great, and are indeed better...i think the twin is underrated perhaps...the solos get a lot more press becasue when activ and using solos..if someone can afford activ klimax amps...then why not go for the solos vs the twin...heck whats another 30K!!! either amp is amazing..the solo is just SO strong...but yet effortless... i think your source and other gear as well as your upgrade plans (if any) will determine which way to go. good luck

Hi

Its strickly 2 channel
and no active card with the wonderfull voiced cremonas.

speakers are Sonus fabers Cremona floorstander

I have heard the cremonas with the chakra 5 channel amp in a 2 channel setup with the linn undisk sc
the amp where 100 watt to each speaker.

The sound where so profoundly musical and amazing that i sat with open mouth and goosspots allover.

My source is the slimdevics Transporter wich have been moddified to the nighth degree.
Its very musical and it is as good as the cd12 to my ears is t better in every way.
I have actually not heard enything remotly close to its preformands but it took some work to get it there
It also has volume control so i dont need a preamp.

So the setup Will Transporter into poweramp/amps into cremonas

I have another amp the tact millennium wich i will never parden with and will use in anothet setup.

But when it was away for upgrades i hooked the Transporter up with a littel icepower power amp and used the volume conrol on the transporter just as i would with the klimax amps.
And it just sounded amazing.

Money is also a factor but the solos can be bourgt now for a reasonble amounth of money.

My speaker are not very power hungry and the room is small 17sqm .

Why diddent linn upgrade the solos with chakra power like the klimax twin ?

Im the kind who likes to know that the product is have is the best in the companys line for my aplication that is
And the solos are 8 years old .
The are many other fine swichmode amps out there for much lesss mony with the latest parts and so on.

The klimax chakra twin still is still a new version amp and on the secondhand marked i could buy it for the same money as say the Nuforce ref 9 se or the kharmas matrix mp150
