Wenrhuang,

Fantastic system - simple and beautiful. I too have Dynaudio C1's driven by a Klimax Twin(original, non Chakra version) with Linn Unidisk 1.1 and Kinos pre/processor.

Agree with your observations re the Kilmax vs. ostensibly more powerful amps. I have auditioned various 200W options that have no where near the presence and authority of the Klimax. Also, once you have owned the jewel like Klimax it is hard to go back to any other product with lesser aesthetic virtues!

My question was in reference to the "Chakra" version. Have you ever been able to compare the Chakra with the earlier Klimax Twin? I am thinking of getting my one factory upgraded and trying to determine if there will be much difference. I would love to upgrade to a pair of Klimax Solo's but I don't think I can quite justify them with the C1's.

Regards,
Garner.
