Description

I wanted a simpler look. The Linn stuff sold me when I heard it in full Aktiv mode.

It helped that the company is from Glasgow, where I was born and lived until I was 18.

Having lived with this setup now for a while, I am still impressed every time I sit down to listen.

Pull the speakers forward and they melt into the room with such a beautiful sound.

I had analog with a LP12, Ittok LVII and Trioka but unfortunately I could not give it enough playing time.

I have added a AV 5150 Sub to the room, stil playing around with it, but so far it has been a very good addition. Blends very well and sounds very smooth, I have it on spikes which helped alot.

Very impressive on the movie front, canon shots from Master & Commander DTS were just like standing there.

I moved the ProAc sub to a different location and use the High level Neutrik connection which is giving a really good balance in the room.

Finally found a really good sound for me, which is what we all strive for.
