150

Linn has a long history of designing and manufacturing compact hi-fi loudspeakers with excellent performance that belies their size. The 150 floor standing design reflects this pedigree, with a new performance benchmark and the addition of peerless versatility when it comes to building and expanding a system.

Pair your 150 speakers with Linn's Selekt DSM, and you will have a future-proof complete system which can be upgraded over time. Upgrade performance from passive to Exakt by adding more internal amplification, upgrade your DAC modules, and apply free-of-charge, capability-enhancing software updates – in big steps, or bit-by-bit – it’s your choice.

With 150, the goal was to create a fundamentally entertaining loudspeaker, but one with refinement, sophistication and neutrality, so that it would play any source material equally well – and equally enjoyably.

150 is fitted with premium drive units, delivering excellent linear performance and excursion capability. Drawing from what Linn have learned during development of their flagship 360 loudspeakers, drive units are mounted at the very front of the baffle, with no grille, to minimise occlusion and improve excursion.

Component quality is high throughout. The lower-order passive crossover in 150 is designed for signal purity and, as a result, lends the speaker speed and dynamism.

Inspired by their flagship 360 loudspeaker is a magnet-mounted trim piece, featuring fine concentric grooves redolent of the surface of a vinyl record and an electro-formed Linn logo which serves as a tweeter guard.

Linn's 150 loudspeakers are now available for demo at Basically Sound.
