LINN LK140 The LK85/140 and music The LK85 and LK140 are rugged high output amplifiers designed for ease of use and purity of sound. Y ou can build exactly the system you want, using one or more LK85/140 amplifiers. The LK85 gives 85W per channel into 4 1 , or 62W per channel into 8 1 , and so is ideal for most average-sized rooms.
The LK85/140 is dir ect-coupled and servo-controlled to pr oduce the clearest sound and the tor oidal transformer is fully shielded to prevent hum when the amplifier is stacked with other pr oducts.
For more performance, you can use two or thr ee LK85/140s to bi-amp or tri-amp to the loudspeakers, each amplifier driving the bass, midrange, and tr eble signals separately .
