534.0. "Linn A/V products....." by KERNEL::HOGGAND () Thu Feb 29 1996 11:52

    The 1996 Bristol HiFi Show was used by Linn to launch their new range
    of A/V products. This is a complete A/V solution and is not designed to
    be (although it can be) part of the audio only products. Currently 
    the control amp and power amps are the only system boxes, with speaker
    support in the form of the main channel 5140's, a centre speaker, new
    surround speakers and the active isobarik subwoofer.
    
    One thing that was said; the new AC-3 control amp is "not a patch" on
    the Kairn. 
    
    The demo will not have impressed many of the audience. The system gave
    the impression of being poorly tuned and positioned badly.

    Linn should have stuck to making turntables instead of trying to branch
    out into someting in hich they have no experience.

    I would have to say that you are in the minority on this somewhat
    uninformed opinion.
