Totally agree about the Keltiks’ bass especially with doubling up Solos on the bass. However the Komris’ servo bass is better. All round, it’s no contest between them.This was the main reason why I turned down Gilad's offer to build me a pair of Komris when Linn found out that I was interested from my dealer back then - from their last remaining parts for a mere £10,000 before they discontinued them 3 months later. - The complexity (in the long term) of their electronics and servos were always going to be a long term problem compared with the virtually bulletproof Keltiks.
As many will and have testified over the years, the Komris are the only real Linn upgrade to the Keltiks especially with the bass.
Of course, I would have been just as likely to blow a driver with Keltiks as the Komris. In the meantime, I‘ve had twenty years of good use out of them.
Linn say they’ll continue to support them until the day comes when it’s possible to upgrade to something better.
All that for £10,000 would have been an absolute bargain. Even today people are paying that and sometimes more for them.
I had an even more tempting offer of a matching Klimax 340 when it was discontinued which I also declined.
I did think about changing the Komris for something like Kudos Titans recently, but that would been a downgrade. My dealer did a little research on the service/upgrade history of mine and we decided keeping them even now is fairly low risk.
By the way, what have you got against our American friends?
