I've been super happy with my Majik DSM/2 for 5 years and now have a pair of Majik 140s (and a REL sub) for more than a year.
So all the prerequisites for EXAKT are there, but I'm not sure if this is the right route to take.
A few thoughts:
- The Akurate Exaktbox-i alone costs almost as much as the rest of my system.
- from time to time used Majik Exaktbox-i's turn up on the 2nd hand market. of course they are much cheaper and I could upgrade to katalyst (a hefty 3,000 euros, are they worth it?) later with a fresh 5 year warranty.
- If I decide to buy a Majik Exaktbox-i, it would be very tempting to "exchange" my Majik DSM/2 for an Akurate system Hub (2nd hand values of both devices are very similar and I would get HDMI 2.0 as an upgrade).
- the question remains if it would be smart to go the "Akurate" way at the very moment Linn stops production
Any ideas and recommendations?
