Linn Majik DS and BO 8000 Speakers

3 replies

Hi,

Currently have a Majik DS linked to Linn amplifier, then to passive Linn Keilidh (passive) speakers. I would like to replace the speakers with B&O 8000 active speakers.

Is it as simple as connecting the Linn DS direct to the B&O speakers using an appropriate cable, and removing the need for the Linn amplifier ? Or am I missing something ?

Fairly new to this scene, so please forgive my ignorance !

 

Cheers

 

I believe so yes, but not an expert.

I was thinking of getting one of the newer Linn streamers, the Select DSM - I checked with a dealer in the UK who sells both Linn and B&O.

He connected the Linn directly to a pair of BeoLab 18's (active) with a regular cable, form the analogue outputs of the Linn to the BeoLabs.

I'd check with PerterTyson in the UK - he (they) will be able to tell you.

 

Many thanks
