Dastrix,
I would say they're a slightly warm sounding speaker, though not veiled, with a nice stout bass to them. They do like power, the more the merrier!
I actually really enjoy the 88/8571 series speakers, they're a great bargain at the used prices I've seen lately. I think they would go quite well with your Linn gear, definitely worth your time. An easy upgrade is to replace the wiring and binding posts with pure copper wire and Cardas binding posts, a very worthwhile upgrade. Though I'm an Usher dealer I have "no dog in this hunt", just trying to offer some honest advice and help out a fellow member. I hope this helps you.
