Used Linn Bookshelf Speakers question


Of the discontinued Linn bookshelf speakers out there, which ones are the best in your opinion? I am thinking of a set for my office - looking to go cheap - but all used linn gear - thanks

If memory serves, the LInn Kan (ca. late '70s) was specifically designed for use against a wall. Haven't heard 'em in decades, so I can't speak to their sound quality.

I have had Tukans on Brackitts, they work fine.
Linn speakers can stand to go very close to walls, hence the Brackitts they make for them.
Thanks guys - I like the way the cherry tukans look compared to the new katans - I was going to mount them with brackets sevaral inches off the wall - not ideal but I hope a reasonable compromise for the space. D
Well, I would say Tukans, but you can buy the current Katans on the used market for pretty much the same price. I wouldn't recommend them if you are actually going to place them in a bookshelf and jam them against the back of the bookcase however. They have a rear port and need a few inches of space behind them.
