In the background I see amazing speakers Audiovector Avangarde. In your opinion which speakers are better Audiovector or Linn? Thanks

Hi, nice video. I was just wondering how to make the connection between the amp and the speakers. As far I can see you need to make a connect from a speaker cable connection on the amp to a phono connection on the speaker. How does that come together?

[@ripcastercouk]

The Amplifier is connected to the speaker using multiple standard speaker cable... The speakers must be in aktiv mode (no crossover) so that each activ amplifier channel is driving the corresponding speaker driver unit (e.g. Tweeter Amp -> Tweeter Drive unit, Mid Amp -> Mid drive unit, Bass Amp -> Bass Drive unit). Visit our showroom between Oxford and Reading and we can demonstrate this (and the rest of the Linn range).

Thinking of buying a Klout (seen one at a good price) Are the Aktiv Cards already installed on the Klout? (I assume not) And which reasonably priced speakers are a good match for the Klout?

[@ripcastercouk]

The Aktiv cards are specific to each speaker drive unit. See ripcaster.co.uk/Linn_Aktiv_cards_history for additional information. Feel free to call [phone] for advice

Hi sorry I know this question has nothing to do with this particular video, but it sounds like you have a lot of knowledge regarding Linn amplifiers. My question is, can the speaker outputs on my Linn car amplifier be bridged (2 channels to 1 speaker) like a normal car sterio amplifier?

[@ripcastercouk]

I don't have any specific information but I doubt it. I'm not aware of any Linn amplifiers that have been designed to work in bridged mode.

Hey I’m thinking of buying 4x Linn LK240 mono amps. They come with the mid/bass aktiv cards in 2 of the amps and then they come with the treble aktiv cards in the other 2 amps, can I run klipsch quartets with these amps or are they only to be used with Linn speakers as well? I’m confused now

[@ripcastercouk]

The Aktiv cards are specific to a particular Linn speaker. You will need to remove the Aktiv cards and revert the amplifier to standard configuration to drive a third-pary speaker with conventional crossover.

Hi again John. the introduction of the 4100 at 1:27 to 2:10 is duplicated at 2:10

[@ripcastercouk]

Only twice? I normally repeat myself three times... I blame the video editor (me).
