Linn, Klout - Arguably The Finest Amp Linn Ever Produced

Here is an incredible opportunity to buy an awesome Linn, Klout stereo power amplifier that is in impeccable condition. This piece was used sparingly in a second system and it looks and tests as such. Blemish free and tested to spec right out of the gate. Was on the tech bench playing for 24hrs and is now firing our Naim, SBL with a Spectral preamp. Talk about a match made in heaven, oh my; sublime. The Klout's name is totally accurate - it provides deep slamin bass with an immediate presence. High end is highly resolving with just the right amount of shimmer and mids are lush and organic. A really wonderful amp worthy of all the online rave reviews. It also comes complete with a set of AudioQuest, Crystal II Hyperlitz speaker cables with the needed Linn ends. A $200 value! Please know there isn't a finer example of this amp anywhere and at any price; yep, it's that piece.

The Linn Klout is one of the very best amplifiers to be produced by Linn and widely used in top flight Linn systems. It can easily drive most speakers and can be simply switched (button underneath) to operate using most of the world’s mains voltages. It is very very sturdily built and is deceptively heavy. The front panel, heat sinks at the sides and the rear panel are all ONE piece of thick metal.
