Description

This was just supposed to be my second system, but it is clearly superior to my HT/Music combo at home. The biggest improvement is the Linn Majik floor standing speakers. I got them in a great deal on Audiogon and replaced my old Meadowlark Kestrel Hot Rods. The difference is mind blowing. I love these speakers. I need to clear a little furniture out of my office and do some minor acoustic treatment (it's all hard surfaces - wood floors, plaster walls, tall ceilings), but this system sounds great with every type of music. I wish I had a place to fit these speakers at home!

My primary source is streaming music. I was using MOG with great results. I'm now splitting between Beats Music (not as good quality as MOG) and Qobuz (even better quality than MOG).

Great system you have!
I have always wondered about how good the Linn Majik 140s were? What particularly do you like about them?

My digital is primarily streaming too. Mostly sonos and sometimes oppo for blu ray audio. I used MOG too and now its either beats or spotify. In your opinion, what about beats dont you like? they seem to offer 320 kpbs over wifi. also does qobuz offer 16/44 quality?
