Linn Lauch stunning new loudspeaker models

Linn pitches the stunning new Linn 360 floorstanding loudspeaker as ‘audibly invisible; visually remarkable’, and the company has a point. This is Linn’s flagship loudspeaker offering– roughly the size of the outgoing Klimax 350. It’s available in passive form with ‘Aktiv’ bass or Exakt digital active to slot in a Linn DSM system.

The Linn 360 is a good blend of the conventional and the innovative. It retains several important styling cues of previous high-end Linn speakers. But look closer, and you’ll notice the complexity of the cabinet. Look even closer; you’ll see that new Beryllium tweeter with a Linn logo protection cover. As well as classic Piano Black and Alpine White, there are three ‘Glasgow Collection’ finishes. The almost pearlescent grey of ‘Clyde Built’ is reminiscent of Glasgow’s shipbuilding heritage. The dark ‘LinnHeritage’ is a sumptuous, almost candy-apple finish. And ‘Single Malt’ recalls a heritage in Scotch whisky distilling.

Core to the development of the Linn 360 floorstanding loudspeaker, the driver array is a bold departure for Linn. The tweeter is a new 19mm Beryllium dome. The midrange is a thin-ply woven carbon fibre used and the aluminium-magnesium alloy bass units allow double the excursion of their predecessors. The loudspeaker driver arrayis met by Linn’s new ‘Power DAC’. This Exakt system keeps the music signal in the digital domain until just before the bass driver cones. It also features what
Linn calls ‘Adaptive Bias Control’ amplification formid and treble. This adapts to the speaker’s demands, using real-time correction.

Used with an appropriate Linn digital front end like the Klimax DSM, 360 makes full use of Linn's proprietary technologies. The most notable is Space Optimisation+, designed to cancel the effects of the room out of the music.

We were blown away by the performance when we heard them partnered with KDSM!
