Linn 50th Anniversary 360 Flagship Loudspeaker Launch

Linn’s new 360 flagship loudspeaker features a new cabinet, drive units, electronics, and, well, everything.
StereoNET Australia was fortunate to tag along on the Australian leg of the launch tour and captured some of the best moments from the presentations at various specialist outlets including Sound Gallery (Melbourne), and Brisbane Hi-Fi and Trimira (Brisbane).
We hope this video inspires you enough to head out to your local dealer to have a listen for yourself - it's a worthwhile experience!

I listened to these for well over an hour in Glasgow a few weeks ago. I own the Linn model below these (Akubarik) and I have to say that the 360s are just phenomenal. The sound quality is just astounding. Coupled to the latest Klimax System Hub, I listened to comfortably the best sounding HiFi I’ve ever heard. Would love to hear them on the end of the new LP12-50.

"A Speaker that adds no colouration, it just presents the music" this is factually not true. All speakers add colouration via crossover components, type of drivers and cabinet material. Even the best speakers in the world are at best a compromise. They are a lovely looking loudspeaker, and would be fantastic, but PR hyperbole doesn't match engineering facts.

not to defend imprecise language, but color in audiophile circles means deviation from the recorded waveform due to the imperfections of cabinet materials giving rise to audible resonance, distortion of drivers, wave and phase imperfections from cross-overs, and many others.... these are what you referred to, also what the Linn guy was referring to. I can see the possibility that with digital crossovers, digital correction, robust driver design and careful (and expensive) cabinets design, you may attack most of the sources of color. It is what Genelec and others do with their active speakers. These are just prettier!!

The idea that it has no colouration is the first time I've heard the claim made for any speaker. I'm told they do sound very good but they might want to tone down the claims, especially since there are zero industry standard measurements on the website. It's good to see Linn launch a speaker with real engineering as an integral part of the design.

@@bmill7353 I agree with you 100 percent. Thanks for the comment.

This hobby is still so strange. Why would anybody build something that? Nobody can hear and walk in to check out anywhere. nobody can even Test or hear anything out there before they buy it. Oh, wait a minute. It's like shoes, right? 9 isn't really 9 It is really eleven, so they get us to buy more. More and more stuff cause nobody can actually try it on anything and then u have all these influeners adding to.the good for nothing buying sprees wow we need real stores to hear this 🧐 or we just waste not just money but more importantly. Are time and energy 😢

I love Linn products but why does this guy insist on saying....'handbuilt in the factory in Glasgow'....they've not had a factory in Glasgow for a long, long time....used to be in Castlemilk.....it's now in Waterfoot....a few miles outside of Glasgow in East Renfrewshire....he should really get the basic facts right. Also, the video is really boring.
