Linn - Klimax Solo 800 – Mono Power Amplifier
Superior-performance mono power amplifier that outperforms its larger rivals and 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.
- 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. Key features
- Drives any loudspeaker without compromise
- Adaptive Bias Control
- Peerless, fanless heat management
- Soft-switching Utopik power supply generates ultra-clean and stable power
- Jewel-like Linn roundel communicates status via 100 individual cool-toned LEDs
- Powered by Utopik

Linn’s all-new, Utopik switch-mode power supply topology for Klimax Solo 800 boasts precision-regulated power rails. It provides the best of both worlds, generating 2kW maximum power output whilst retaining speed, responsiveness and consummate efficiency.
It maintains extremely steady output voltage; the rails perform consistently in the face of dramatic loading changes. What’s more, if the mains input varies, the output won’t – remaining stable and ultra-pure at all times.
With Utopik for Klimax Solo 800, Linn have progressed a step further to minimise switching noise and improve efficiency by utilising a technique called ‘soft-switching’; a resonant tank circuit ensures that voltage across the switch falls to zero before the switch is thrown. Thanks to soft-switching, Utopik for Klimax Solo 800 is cleaner, more efficient, and remains whisper-quiet over the full range of operating conditions.
