Lately have not been a fan of Linn products; overpriced and better sounding gear out there. However I do miss the 80's and 90's when they introduced the Klout, Kairn, Kremlin, Karik, Numerik, Kelidih and Kabers some of these products I used to own. It is good to see a speaker that follows in that tradition.
I would be very interested to see the effect of using Linn's Exakt system (Exaktbox-I is designed for the 140)
as this would completely bypass the crossovers in the speakers and it would be very interesting to read a professional opinion of the change - I can find not a single review of this anywhere in the world!
