A morning of speaker hunting to pair with CA 840s

How did you get on with your mate's Linn Keilidhs LM? Any thoughts to share on those?

Err right sorry we've been a bit rubbish with the Linns. A combination of lateness, some work phone calls, a couple of pints and an active/passive issue has left us thinking we'll do it next week. It'll be an interesting set up.

will do it tho - hopefully over the bank holiday. We didn't really have enough time yesterday and would have been rushing

No sweat, sorry, I missed the earlier post in error.

No worries. I say I'll do it - But I have a overwhelming urge to take them back and buy an ex dem Quad 909!!! My beresford would work as a pre amp for now until I can afford the 99 CDP2 right? Maybe a question for another thread...

...I think as long as you have the new Beresford that's both a pre and DAC, i.e. TC7520. You won't regret the 909, superb stuff.

Found one today thats been a demo for a week with a five year warranty for £699. Strikes me as a good deal.

Tesler:Just in case anyone may be interested......... Would anyone here be interested to see what the outcome of this is going to be?

Any comparison of anything with anything is interesting and the life blood of the forum. It does not matter if it a comparison between two apparently very similar amps or a big picture comparison of CD vs PC. Go for it. It will help someone, somewhere out there.
