Hello,
I have never heard any Linn amplifier, source or anything from this company.
From the Englisch companies I have heard and owned:
Rega Brio-R: Very nice little amp, maybe not the last word in refinement, bass power, imaging or control but I have listend for hours with it. Very nice (a bit) warm mids, clear heights and agile, punchy bass. Very good PRaT. I really enjoyed the little brick often more then much pricier amps up to 5.000€.
Naim Nait XS2: I can't count how many of them I have owned. Good one, PRaT, a bit too much midbass and not very controlled deep bass but grove and fun. Heights are a little restrained compared to the Rega but less warm midrange.
Croft GCI: PRaT, bass not that tight but for me the most natural sounding with good volume. Midrange Clear very clear (sometimes close to be bright), heights are airy and seamless extension from the midrange.
Exposure Dual 4 R: Most controlled bass, most power, best imaging, PRaT, clear midrange (also sometimes close to be bright) heights very clear, the most linear sounding from all of them
I'd like to know how does a Linn Klout sound compared to the amp above.
I'm not interested in comparison to other amps nor other advices or namedropping, so please keep the thread clean and ontopic.
Thank you for your help and for respecting my wish.
