119

Linn has a reputation for creating compact loudspeakers with excellent performance characteristics, even when positioned close to a wall. The 119 is the latest Linn speaker to accomplish this feat, with a new performance benchmark and fundamentally entertaining presentation.

If you wish, you can pair your 119 loudspeakers with their Selekt DSM and you will be investing in a complete system that can get better with age. Go from passive to Exakt by adding more internal amplification, upgrade your DAC modules, and benefit from free over-the-air software updates – all in one go, or incrementally as you desire.

119 features top-quality drive units which deliver superb linear performance. Drawing from what Linn have learned during development of their range-topping 360 loudspeaker, the 119's drive units are mounted flush with the front of the cabinet, with no grille, to minimise obstruction of sound waves and improve movement.

Focus has been placed upon component quality throughout the speaker. The passive crossover in 119 is created for signal purity, lending the speakers speed and dynamism.

Inspired by their reference 360 loudspeaker is a magnet-mounted drive unit trim, featuring a series of fine, etched arcs evoking the surface of a vinyl record, and an electro-formed Linn logo tweeter guard.

An optional stand is available for the 119, finished in either black or silver.

The Linn 119 loudspeaker is now on demo at Basically Sound.
