Design

With 119 the goal was to create fundamentally entertaining loudspeakers, but with refinement, sophistication and neutrality, so that they would play any source material equally well – and equally enjoyably.  They are fitted with premium drive units, delivering excellent linear performance and excursion capability. Drawing from what Linn learned in the development of their flagship 360 loudspeakers, drive units are mounted at the very front of the baffle, with no grille, to minimise occlusion and improve excursion.  Component quality is high throughout. Lower-order crossovers in 119 are designed for signal purity and, as a result, lend the speakers speed and dynamism.

Features

119 are available in Satin Black, White, Walnut, or Oak veneered finish.  Inspired by Linn’s flagship 360 speaker is a magnet-mounted trim piece, featuring fine concentric grooves redolent of the surface of a vinyl record and an electro-formed Linn logo which serves as a tweeter guard.  Optional black or silver, mild-steel pedestal stands are available.

Selekt System

When paired with Selekt DSM, the 119s can dance across a staggering spectrum of performance capability. You can begin your Selekt System journey with a simple, high-performance passive configuration, and work your way towards the ultimate destination; a fully active, all-Linn system featuring Linn’s flagship Exakt technology.  Huge performance enhancements can be made as you desire – in a single step, or incrementally over time – taking advantage of the peerless configurability of Selekt DSM.
