Linn klimax solo vs klimax chakra twin

Hi jaf

There is actually not much of a price differenc problem is the 2002 pair is located in usa.
And the country i liv in (denmark) dossent support free trade so if the get hold of the packets the will proberly let me pay 25% of the amount the cost.

I talked to linn i first talked to them about the solos age vs the chakra twin the said that the solos have been reffient throug the years so is really not a 8 year old amp enymore.

Then a week later i called them up and told them that i had a demo pair on hands that where from 1999/2000 at a fair price then he said buy them ther issent much of a difference mostly in the reliebility only.

I also talked to a frence hifi reviewer wich have heard the solos on several location throug the years he diddent think that the sound had change .

Its vey hard to get a clear answer on this subject

Im just afaid that if i get the 1999 pair a couple of month later there is a 2005 pair for sale.

And that here from a person that have had different age pair side by side conclouds that there is a major sonic differeces between them.

let me see if there are any on linns ex-dem list...these all have Linns warranty, and are always in great shape...a friend of mine has access to it, and he is in the UK. ive already sent him an email asking if there are any solos available. ill let you know.

Thanks jaf

inside EU it will nor be a problem.

best regards

he checked and there is only one solo, a 2006 model, on the ex dem unit.

Hi jaf

Thanks for trying i appriciat it

I have desided to get the 1999/2000 pair
first of the pair is offerd to me by a certified linn dealer so i will have garanti and no problems at all with customs
other then that the are a demo pair so the havent been used all the time and the are en perfect condition.

Even if there is a sligt improvments in the newer models it really seems that based upom what i have heard through none biased people and i have spoken at 4 people now that have experinces with the solos through the years and the difference is minimal if eny.

I will get linns best amplifires at a very good price with no worris of being cheated .

The dealer is very respected and a no bs type he has tested every klimax solo amplifire before the customer picks them up and he says that he never heard a improvment with the newer ones.

I told him dead seriously that i would think about buying a new pair if the difference was big but his oppinion diddent change on bit.

Also i dont think that linn will make intirely new amps in the futur i think that the will keep the klimax amps but offer a upgrade like the Chakra twin.

I will have them within 3 weeks and i cant waith i think the will be perfect with my SF cremonas

thanks
