Linn Klout Power Amplifier

Here we have a fine example of the Linn Klout power amplifier, often described as one of the company’s best amplifiers. Our example is in good condition and will be professionally packaged along with a mains cable and our regular three month warranty.
Linn Said….
Music is very important for people. It stimulates the imagination, helps them relax, can change their mood, and of course provides entertainment and pleasure.
A good hi-fi works well enough to deliver these benefits. It also helps you appreciate music you never thought you would.
At Linn we devote our energy to improving standards of music reproduction, because we know that the better the sound, the more you’ll enjoy music at home.
The addition of any Linn component will improve the sound quality of your system. Linn has a policy of continuously improving its equipment allowing customers to retro-fit most product upgrades.
The Linn Klout power amplifier has many unique attributes which set new standards in both mechanical and electronic engineering. The Klout is designed to partner the Linn Kairn preamplifier, from which it can be operated directly.
The Klout is housed in a one-piece, solid extrusion, engineered to maximise strength and heat dissipation. Three pairs of speaker outlets per channel allow easy bi-wiring or tri-wiring. A screened transformer enables the Klout to be positioned close to other audio products in your system without interference.
The Klout circuitry uses the latest surface mount technology for cooler, more reliable operation. The vertically mounted circuit boards transfer the heat from the power stages directly to the case. Sophisticated circuitry protects the Klout against overload and allows it to be used safely into the most complex loudspeaker loads.
As with all components in the hi-fi chain, the quality of your system source – turntable, tuner or CD player – is vital in ensuring that you get the best possible results from the Klout power amplifier.
Provides the uncompromising power, stability and performance required to drive any loudspeaker to the highest standard of musical accuracy.
Two separate amplifiers in one box each with its own fully regulated and isolated power supply for the ultimate loudspeaker control and stability
Protection circuitry which does not limit output current. (Protected Against: transistor overload; instantaneous over-current; short circuit; over-temperature; over and under voltage; DC input; power supply in-rush current)
Advanced circuitry to maximise loudspeaker control and protect the amplifier and loudspeakers from overload
Three sets of speaker outputs for optimised bi-and tri-wiring upgrades or driving auxiliary loudspeakers
Parallel line-in/line-out connectors for ‘daisy-chained’ multi-amplifier installations
Remote switch-on facility to enable freedom of location and system configuration
Front facia bi-coloured LEDs to indicate product status
Massive heatsink extrusion for cool, stable performance
Fully screened transformer to allow hum-free stacking
Linn active crossover modules accommodated internally for improved playback performance and simple active system installation
Surface-mount electronics to improve heat dissipation and reliability, and provide optimum signal handling
Ultra-short signal path, which preserves music signal integrity, in a very compact package
