With the Linn 150 speaker, Linn’s goal was to create fundamentally entertaining loudspeakers, but with refinement, sophistication and neutrality, so that they 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 learned from the 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. Lower-order crossovers in the 150 are designed for signal purity and, as a result, lend the speakers speed and dynamism.
Linn 150 speakers are available in Satin Black, White, Walnut, or Oak veneered finish. Inspired by Linn’s flagship 360 speaker 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.
With the 150 being a 3-way design, it is now both easier and more attainable than ever to upgrade from passive to the extraordinary performance of Linn’s proprietary Exakt technology. 150 can be converted to Exakt in a matter of minutes, whilst all requisite amplification, DACs and Exakt digital crossover can be contained within Selekt DSM to create a simple and neat system with astonishing performance.
