Linn Katan Monitors w/Matching Linn Stands - Super Scots!

Linn is a renowned Scottish hi-fidelity audio company founded in 1973 by Ivor Tiefenbrun, celebrated for the iconic Sondek LP12 turntable. Based in Glasgow, Linn specializes in premium music systems, network streamers, and speakers designed for superior sound quality and longevity. They pioneered high-quality digital streaming, launching the first studio-master quality network player in 2007

The Katan shown here is a two-way bass reflex (rear port) loudspeaker. Linn's claimed frequency response of 75Hz to 20kHz (+/-3dB) seems accurate. The drive units are a 19mm soft-dome tweeter and 160mm bass/midrange unit. Single-ended tube amps need not apply as the impedance of 8 ohms is good, yet with a sensitivity of 85dB/W/m at 1KHz my usual small 8-watt tube amplifiers were homeless here. Linn states that a minimum of 30 watts is best and the more watts you can deliver, all the better. We took in a set of the a few years ago, around the same time we first discovered how well small loudspeakers really sound when mated to super he-man amplifiers. We regularly put big 200 watt amps on the ends these smallish speakers and Yikes! There is something to be said about this unique way of system configuration. While the horn guys like to play low-powered single-ended tube amplifiers, using powerful quality amplification with loudspeakers such as the Katans could spell a newly found enjoyment in music. And know, they lap up every bit of juice from our big Plinius and ARC amps. Katans are a energy filled packet of sheer listening pleasure. They do all things considerably well and their build quality is second to none. 100% winners in the right room and with appropriate amplification. This set has been thoroughly gone through by our expert speaker techs and they pass with flying colors.
