This is a listing for one pair of the famous KLIMAX 500 SOLO MONOS that have been LINN'S flagship for over 20 years. They have remained in the top tier of high performance amplifiers and will easily compete with  today's best. The bottom line is that the KLIMAX 500 SOLOS provide the overall musicality that LINN is famous for in addition to the great LINN customer support. GREAT PRODUCTS FROM A GREAT NAME DESIGNED TO PERFORM INDEFINITELY!

KLIMAX 500 SOLOS: $5,500 (MSRP $19,000) Rating: 7

FYI: Products come from a longtime customer who is downsizing. Most recently in storage. Products went through a check-up with our certified repair person before listing They do not have the Dynamic Power upgrade but do provide the original fabulous performance at a fraction of the original cost.. Can be upgraded by LINN. For purposes of disclosure some small scratches/marks can be found primarily on the tops. One amp does have a small indentation on the bottom right front corner. Please see pics. Noticeable on  close inspection and less so when stacking. Ratings are based on our critical observation. Overall beautiful and right at home in any high end system.

**** Buyer to pay for PayPal fees 2.9% and actual insured shipping cost.

**** We recently sold a second pair of these amps to a knowledgeable Agon member who has raved about their performance in his excellent audio system.

****  In a previous ad we had listed the LINN UNIDISK 1.1 and KISTO PRE/PROCESSOR. These have been sold.

FROM THE REVIEWERS:

“Linned
and liking it

I think there's
an essential joyousness with which the Klimax goes about its work. It's anxious
to please, but never puts a foot wrong while doing so. I could detect no sonic
compromises anywhere. The amp's iron control and absolute grip, transparent midbass,
full palette of blushing tonal color, extension from DC to ultraviolet, great
slam and linearity, openness, sweetness, its inner light and beauty—I just loved it. In fact, I want a pair!

Go forth and
Linn!”

"Comes as close or closer than anything else I’ve heard to the ultimate goal of no intrinsic sound"; starts with a background of nothingness, a void. Any sound set in opposition to the stark background stands out in vivid contrast, and the amp's quick response only acts to intensify the effect"

THANKS FOR LOOKING!
