Linn 119 Passive Stand Mount Speakers
Linn has a long history of designing and manufacturing compact loudspeakers with excellent performance that belies their size. 119 and 150 reflect this pedigree, with a new performance benchmark and the addition of peerless versatility when it comes to system-building.
With 119 and 150, the 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.
In response to feedback, another key focus was to make it easier than ever to upgrade systems to Exakt, using Linn speakers fed from a Selekt DSM. 119 and 150 are fitted with premium drive units, delivering excellent linear performance and excursion capability. Drawing from what we learned in the development of our 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 119 and 150 are designed for signal purity and, as a result, lend the speakers speed and dynamism.
