Linn's Ninka speaker: Anyone heard it??
I have heard the Ninka's on an all Linn system and was surprised by the muddiness of sound (was playing Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Outbound). Many of the instruments got lost or couldn't hear them. They were much better, though, than the Vien...

AV receiver for 4 ohm speakers?
The switches are actually small resistors that you can move in and out of the electrical path. They may change the way your speakers sound - don't use them. It is a cheesy way to get your 4 ohm speakers look 8 ohm to your amp.My old H-K 795i recei...

South43,I did call Royd Loudspeakers and Jo Ackroyd answered the phone (I didn't know it at the time). He was very helpful and actually suggested Rega, because you want the British sound, you know. The one thing he did say was that the rear channe... 
Speaker break in?
"Supposedly" - notice the quotes - it is a placebo affect. There have been discussions on other forums about this and the debate is still going. I am not sure, myself.I do notice, if I switch between my speakers (Royd Doublets to OLD Bose 6.2 (yec...

I am trying to be a little serious and in the end was just dense. What else is new? LOLSeriously, South43 thanks for the number. I called and they reccommended the Totem Mite-t and Mite-c-t to match. Totem uses the exact same tweeter as the Royds....
