Linn News – Klimax Exaktbox, 360 price increase, cartridge trade in changes, lead times

4 November 2025

A quick summary of current Linn news.

New Klimax Exaktbox
Linn has released a new flagship Klimax Exaktbox, marking the completion of the all-encompassing overhaul of their reference-level Klimax range. Klimax Exaktbox has undergone a performance boost and a cosmetic redesign bringing it up-to-date with the array of Klimax Solo amplifiers it’s designed to feed.

Beautifully robust casework provides superb shielding from the outside world, and an optimised internal layout brings enhanced performance with its isolated Utopik power supply with separate, self-regulating output voltage rails, allocated to each of the analogue and digital circuits, improving the performance of both.

Add Klimax Exaktbox to upgrade suitable two- or three-way speakers. Or, use one per speaker to upgrade compatible four-, five- or even six-way speaker models to ultimate Exakt performance. Key Features:

• Exakt digital crossover with six DAC channels
• Six balanced XLR analogue outputs
• Exakt Link for connection to Linn network music players
• Utopik power supply with independent output rails

RRP £26,000
