Over 30 years ago, Linn began an aggressive march into the future, expanding their line to include networked electronics and making a heavy investment in software engineering. This came on the heels of a long line of speakers and amplification products, which complemented their famous turntables, toned arms, and cartridges that date back to the 1970s. The Klimax System with 360 integrated exact speakers, is Lynn's flagship offering right now for two channel music and again aimed at exploring a better future. How does it stack up?
