Klimax Solo 800 Reference Mono Power Amps - Pair
Superior-performance, flagship mono amplifiers
With Klimax Solo 800, Linn has created a superior-performance amplifier which can drive any given speaker optimally – under any conditions. To achieve this, Linn’s electronic engineers returned to first principles with their crosshairs trained on ‘consistency’ and ‘accuracy’ – because consistency and accuracy are key to pure, unadulterated, power amp performance.
Sold as a pair - £37,500 each.

Superior-performance, flagship mono amplifier
With Klimax Solo 800, Linn has created a high-performance amplifier which can drive any given speaker optimally – under any conditions.
To achieve this, Linn’s electronic engineers returned to first principles with their crosshairs trained on ‘consistency’ and ‘accuracy’ – because consistency and accuracy are key to pure, unadulterated, power amp performance.
Klimax Solo 800 features novel and original technologies which combine to produce staggeringly low distortion measurements, with superb signal-to-noise ratio and incredible efficiency. It is fundamentally better at controlling loudspeakers – even those that present difficult loads.
Key points:
Outperforms larger rivals comprehensively.
Adaptive Bias Control negates transistor crossover distortion.
Efficient, consistent, and accurate circuitry design.
Ultra-low distortion harmonic distortion and noise measurements.
Drives large speakers that present difficult loads with no tail-off in performance at louder volumes.
Superb power handling efficiency and fan-less heat management.
‘Soft-switching’ Utopik for Solo 800 generates 2kW maximum power output whilst retaining speed, responsiveness, and consummate efficiency over the full range of operating conditions.
