Description :
As the era for the demand of "lifestyle" systems grows, the Linn Classik enters the market as a sleek, unobtrusive, uncomplicated design that does double duty as a lifestyle system. Many lifestyle systems focus on form over function, sizzle over steak and project undeniable auras of high-tech styling. The Linn Classik is a true high-end performer for audiophiles who don't want the hassle of separate components with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of a single-box design that eliminates the need for multiple runs of expensive interconnects. This full-functioned receiver houses a no-compromise standalone CD player, a high-quality AM/FM tuner, and a solid-state integrated amp with a MOSFET output stage that provides plenty of current drive and dynamic headroom to drive a variety of real-world speakers. The Classik allows non-enthusiasts a simple, hassle-free means of participating in an authentic, true-to-life musical experience too.


The playback capabilities of the Linn Classik, all music, whether CD or FM tuner source, are found to be engaging, with agreeable measures of spatial sound-stage depth and timbre, and buoyant musical passages of lively and clearly defined notes. For the Classik tuner section, one is able to enjoy very good stereo separation and imaging, a very musical depiction of dynamics. Warm and open midrange, a lack of top-end sibilance, and no apparent honkiness in human voices. The radio programmes are expressive, detailed and natural sounding. As for the Classik's CD section, it possesses a very clear, deep midrange, with remarkable bass extension and a smooth, open top end. It is very detailed without being edgy or italicized. One will feel impressed by the ease and authority with which the Classik handles any kind of music tossed in its way. It is able to create excellent stereo imaging, conveying the intimacy of the live setting for a very personal and transparent performance. Instrumental pieces are vibrant and strong with plenty of presence, proving that the Linn Classik is capable of producing a very realistic acoustical playback experience. Whether the buyer seeks an entry level high end, or a second smaller-room audio system, he will almost certainly find the Linn Classik a compelling option. Pair with with a pair of Linn Kan speakers, the combo can wake him up every morning as the ultimate bedroom system.
