Mega-Speakers from Linn Audio....


Anybody else see these speaker ads all over Audiogon? I'm curious what other members think about the speakers, company, their amps etc...

Geez - they say thatcopycats are the greatest form of flattery - its quite easy to see where Mr. Linn got some of his inspiration. Reading the Linn Website his wording is almost copy/paste of ours, be a little more original- really! - and good luck with it.

Peter, that is exactly what I thought when I saw the speaker. (BTW your stereophile ads freak me out a little bit, I turn the page and boom there you are staring at me in that hat ;-))

My guess is that they haven't made enough of a blip on the radar for the real Linn to notice, and/or there might already be something in the works legally. I can't imagine they would let this guy operate with that name uncontested.

As for the Dayton amp you would think for the $1800 premium they are charging they would at least change the rca jacks and binding posts (yeah OK 8^0). Makes you wonder what kind of crossover is in his speakers.

Lovely, just lovely.

One other thing that is a bit fishy...

If you go to this URL:

http://www.linnaudionh.com/services.html

You will see that it says:

"The suggested retail price is: $ 59,500 per pair"

Then, if you go to this URL:

http://www.linnaudionh.com/services1.html

it says:

The suggested retail price is only $ 29,500 per pair

Hmm... Which is the real "suggested retail price"? That's a pretty big difference : )
