Klimax solo is housed in a satin-anodised enclosure machined from a single billet of high-grade aluminium and polished to a velvet-touch finish. separate solid aluminium ‘rooms’ within the chassis screen and protect the electronics and form a heat exchanger that dissipates the power from the amplifier circuitry. Offering unsurpassed musical performance from a power amplifier, Klimax solos complete linn's finest ever music system and represent the art of audio perfection.
