Linn questions for novice.


First of all thanks for a great site! I want to buy a used Linn system, but have some questions. I was thinking of purchasing it all used, right here on Audiogon.com. My understanding of Linn is that all components sound the best if they are Linn. That limits me a little when it comes to for example to speakers. I was thinking of a Majik w/kudos tuner module ($650), a Mimik ($500-600) with a pair of Tucans ($ ? ) This would probably serve me OK, but what about the Keldich (sp?) speakers? ($1,000) I was also thinking, by recommendations from my local Linn dealer, to go with a Genki and a LK 85. Comments? Thank you very much!

I bought a Linn Axis turntable about ten years ago and ever since then I have caught the Linn "bug" although I do not have any of their other equipment yet. I have heard the Tukans and am considering buying them. I really like them, especially their size, and even though I'm sure they don't have the lowest bass response. I was auditioning them with the "all in one" classik unit, which I do not know if you are considering. Paired with the Classik they sound really good and make a nice simple compact system. I am actualy considering gettting a used Mimik and possibly Majik as you are. Used you can get these a fairly reasonable price. I have been considering the classik, but it is overpriced, I think it's about 1800-2000 dollars new. Although used I've seen them on this site for between 850-1200 dollars which is a better deal. Some people don't like the "all in one-ness" of the Classik but it does have some flexibility where if you ever wanted a better amp, etc. you can still use the CD player as a "seperate." I guess what attracts me to that system is it's simplicity and compactness.
I have owned several Linn components, LP12, LK1-dirak, LK280
Karik, Helix speakers I have been very impressed with their quality, the only reason why I parted with any of it was divorce. When looking at Linn or any other brand, always remember the the source is the most important part of the system. In my listening/auditioning experience I had my best listening experience with an LP12/Ittok II/Valhalla/Karma through an Intek integrated and Nexus speakers, as opposed to an Axis/K9 through LK1, an Aktiv crossover, 3-LK280's into their top-of the line Isobarik's
I have no problem recomending Linn to anyone.
the tukans did go thru a tweeter change out a few years back. (i have 4 tukans and happy with them, i paired them with a rel strata III sub to give me the quick low end) be sure that you get the tuks withe the 3 bar tweeter, it is far superior to the original black screened tweeter.
I just picked up a pair of used tukans (with three wire cover on tweeter) and some very nice chicago audio stands (filled with white sand) for $675. Can anyone give me advice regarding distance from wall and between the two speakers? My room is about 15X15ft with wood floors (with a large oriental rug). I have already recognized that closer to the wall is better....but is there such a thing as too close? Also, I am desparately in need of upgrading my power source and have been auditioning everything from NAD(on the cheaper end) to REga, Arcam, Bryston, Linn, and Naim. I want to keep it under $1000 and am willing to go with used gear. Anyone out there have any thoughts?
