IIntroduction

CHAKRA power amplifiers are the result of over five years continuous development of
Linn's amplifier designs.
CHAKRA power amplifiers have been designed to offer true flexibility when building or
upgrading an audio or home-theatre system. The wealth of options available for
number of channels, power output and connections, enables you to choose the ideal
power amplification solution for your system whether it is stereo or surround-sound,
passive or active.
Linn's proprietary CHAKRA power amplification technology was first used in the
KLIMAX CHAKRA 500 Twin. That same technology has now been employed in this
range to offer outstanding performance.
