Hi Guys,
I have migrated recently from Majik to Akurate DSM and now I consider changes in amplification and speakrs area. I currently use Majik 2100 power amp and Majik 140 speakers (with LP12 and Naim CD5 XS as a sources).
Lately I have been very curious about active speakers. Unfortunately active Linn Akubariks are very expensive and, which is even more important, make a sort of dead end for further system evolution... as new Linns have special connections (exakt) which only work with Linn preamps.
On the other hand, there are a number of studio monitor brands on the market in Serbia, with reasonable pricing too (eg. Neumann KH 310 ARG, PSI audio A25, Focal trio 11) There are also more expensive alternatives such Dutch & Dutch 8c, ATC SCM40A, SCM50 ASL... but even these more expensive are less expensive than Linn Akubariks... and I seriously doubt their performance to be inferior to Akubariks.
To be honest, my gut feeling is telling me ATC 50 ASL would be a dream combo...
I would appreciate your thoughts and experience on this matter.
Cheers!
