Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin

Tda 2200,

I feel the same way as you do about Linn's amps, they are more about refinement than brute power, but when required, they provide the goods too. My Chakra Twin gives better control, and sounds more powerful than my previous amp of which rated at double the Twin's power on paper.

It would be interesting to see what you end up getting. Let us know if you will.

I will diffently report back with my findings.

Only thing that puzzels me, are there eny other of the newer swichmode amps that will sound like the klimax chakra? or is what i heard that day only possible with linn chakra power.

The nuforce REF SE amps and icepower amps i have heard diddent sound like the linn at all .

But it was in unknown setups with much different speakers.

just one other thing to consider...are you certain your going to keep you speakers for a long long time and not want to upgrade....not that they great speakers, but im sure you may be a bit like the rest of us and get crazy upgrade bug...so if you move up, will the twin still do it for you? id love to have a pr of solos running sf anniversairy speakers....thats got to be heaven!!

Hi jaf

Actually the Amati anniversario is the spekaer i will upgrade to.

Right know my room can barly work with the cremonas and the anniversarios have a much more full and deep sound.
but in a couple of years or less i will have a bigger room and by then the anniverasrios can be bourgt secondhad at a fair price.

The cremonas are heaveen for me really only the annies seemed better and still musical as the cremonas are.

I can see that the solos would be better if i get the annies in the future but from a finansial point of view getting the chakra twin now and then just waith a couple of years seems like the best way.

what still borthers me with the solos is the are 8 years old
I cant imagin it be long before Linn dos somthing to there klimax series or make somthing new and better causing the solos price to drop even further just saw that there is a pair of solos for under 10 k

The klimax chakra twin just seems like a no brainer for now
unless linn offers a upgrade to the solos soon.

thanks

Uhhh, I could be wrong about this, so check with a Linn engineer to be sure...
The Chakra design was to Enhance AND PROTECT the fragile and vulnerable Mosfets that are in the Klimax Twin.
The Klimax Solos have ONLY bipolars. It would be silly to augment Bipolar transistors with MORE Bipolar transistors.
