I'll write you a quick review.

The 5200s are amazing, which is why I sold all my Linn stuff and bought them! And I haven't upgraded them with the Apodizing filters yet - not sure if I have to as I use a G08 with them.

They do everything the Linn active system did, then a lot more. I cannot imagine a better system, but I haven't heard Meridian's top system.

Last year I went to the Hi Fi Wigwam show where members of that forum showed off their systems, and I can honestly say that I never once felt that I needed to change my system, and there was some pretty esoteric stuff there.

Marj, my wife and best friend, says my passions are obsessions!
