Linn Audio

Just curious why there’s not a single discussion on Audiogon forum regarding Linn. Linn makes outstanding gears and speakers as well. Especially their DS (digital streamer/DAC) such as the Linn Klimax DS or DSM, Linn Akurate DS or DSM, and Linn Majik DS or DSM. IMO Linn is very innovative and I have always loved their products, especially their digital source components (DS/DSM) and the famous Linn Sondek LP12 turntable with their own accompanying accessories.
Linn makes very musical sounding gears. Even their speakers are pretty awesome too esp when paired with all Linn electronics. Why no luv for Linn?

For my main two-channel setup in my dedicated two-channel room I used to have all Linn Klimax setup and system, from the Klimax DS, LP 12 Klimax version turntable all the way to the Linn Klimax 350 passive floorstanding speakers. But mine was a non-Exakt system. I used to be a Linnie. 

I also like the fact that all Linn gears (electronics) are compact and do not take much space, especially Linn Klimax gears. You will even have less components if you go with Linn Exakt system/setup.

Looking at their website, Linn appears to have a product line that aims to provide a complete system at different price points with flexibility to offer one-box (wifi streamer, DAC, player and integrated amp) simplicity  to more traditional analog source and separate components. They offer active and passive speakers, the actives with multiple separate DACs and network connections. The  Linn product line invites comparison to Bang and Olufsen for their similar philosophy of offering complete integrated systems that emphasize both sound quality and style.

They don't do tubes or class-A. They apparently design and build their own DACs and their amplifiers are digital, similar to B&O and Devialet.

In the USA, there aren't many dealers, so finding a location to hear a system of their equipment might be difficult. They are a UK (Scotland) company and it seems most of their market is in the UK and Europe.
