Introduction

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.
