Exakt conversion kits

Post by wildwildWes »

Has anyone seen and heard an Exakt conversion kit? For non Linn, non-Kudos exakt compatible speakers for example. Does anyone know what these conversion kits cost and where they can be obtained?

Depends on the Speaker I guess. Or are you referring to Exakt.Design?

Do you mean converting them to use an Exaktbox + poweramps solution? This would just involve converting them from passive to active operation and, as Timster said, would depend on the speaker. I’m not aware of any “kits” that facilitate this.

When exakt started there were crossover bypass kits for third party exakt-measured speakers such as B&W 802 and PMC 26.

As I understand, a Linn dealer can do a reversible operation so you can use Exakt with B&W 802 Diamonds, KEF Reference 5, PMC Twenty 26 and JBL K2 S9900. An Exakt conversion kit attaches to the end of the speakers and connects to an ExaktBox, which does the crossover digitally. Don’t think Spendor D9s could benefit from Exakt so I haven’t explored this option.

Thanks @Nestor Turton that’s what I was getting at. My dealer is going to see what’s possible for some KEF reference 5s.
