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.

I'm going to remove my pics if this is going to be the general attitude!

Seriously, nice system. Have you considered wall mounting the plasma and going with a minimal style rack. I think this would have a dramatic effect on your sound stage, no?
