Very cool system. Is it set on a built-in wall unit?

Anthem uses audiophile grade parts and would do your Linn a service, plus it is reported at having a nice room correction. Seems like a wonderful choice for your room. Do you cross your sub over below 60 hz as that will help with the lows directionality?

I'm a big fan of Linn having owned their Klout amp, one of the best I've owned. And as I understand the 5125 is its equal. I've never tried the active mode. I'll be back someday.

Needless to say I'm very impressed with your system.

How is the match between a Anthem pre/pro perform and Linn amp?

How does the Anthem work out with Linn for you? I guess it doesn't really matter which pre/pro.
