Hello...has anyone compared the Ninkas with
Nait5/Flatcap2 verses active with Linn Kolektor/two LK85's. Source is Naim CD5. Granted, Linn config. is more expensive, but not by much. Thanks.

Not EXACTLY that combination. Heard the Ninkas as described, but the naim was a 112/150. For my tastes, I did not even think the Ninkas sounded like the same speakers on the two different systems.
I found the active Linn to be laid back, a bit dark, and very much lacking in low frequency speed. Female vocalists were pretty good though, and there was enough information present to recognize the Ninka for the underrated speaker I eventually found it to be.

Kentonious,

As I've mentioned elsewhere on this forum, you will be better off with an LK140 than 2xLK85s aktiv.
