LINN AMPS

This question is directed to owners of Linn systems.
Have heard a lot of good things about LK 140 amps and the
Kairn pre amp.So I took the plunge and I,m now a Linn owner.What I want to know is this ,is going active a must in order to get the most out of the above mentioned gear.
Since I would need to buy a second amp and a set of Linn speakers,along with active cards,is the extra investment well worth it.I welcome all of your comments with thanks.

Thanks Kennyt and Lugnut.
I think I will fallow your suggestions and buy some used Linn gear and try the active mode.In as far as getting a tube Pre Amp it could be a while,as a just purchased the Linn Kairn.What speakers do you guys suggest that are not overly exspansive.Thanks Ross

Lugnut, you could just upgrade the amps, so long as you stick with other Linn amps compatible with those activ cards... I think the LK 100's are stereo right??

You can always call Linn in Jacksonville, FL and ask them, they are always very helpful.

Rossq, Active systems are amazing and Linn has it right. I had Linn amps for years, LK1 than Kairn pro, LK280's Sparked! That was a very nice set up. I still like them as my source I have a Lp12 Sondek and an Ikemi CDP. Kennyt and Lugnut pretty well have it covered for you. Enjoy!
