Linn 360 PWAB
£67,000.00
Available in store only
Linn's flagship loudspeakers, currently being listened to on our shop floor using the latest Linn Klimax DSM and Linn Klimax Solo 500 monoblock power amplifiers. Arguably one of the finest HiFi systems money can buy!
The latest Linn 360 PWAB features their new Pistonik drive unit technology, their first ever in-house built drive units and an industry first in delivering the widest truly linear excursion of any low-frequency drivers available.
PWAB stands for Passive With Active Bass and we've chosen to stock these speakers as it allows flexibility in the choice of power amplifier selected to drive them, differentiating them from their integrated sibling.
Come hear them for yourself, you're bound to be impressed!
Critical to 360’s sonic character is the wholesale elimination of audible distortion brought about by the cutting-edge material science and simulation which drove development of the drive units, and their subsequent integration with our latest amplifier technologies in both the bass system and 360 Array.
Sumptuous form conscientiously follows function in a visibly remarkable aesthetic that breaks ground beyond traditional cabinet design. The shapely, extremely robust cabinet is built up from scrupulously formed 3D laminates – pushing and exceeding the limits of ply engineering to create a fluid front baffle which wraps elegantly around either side of the speaker. This baffle tapers from bottom to top, with shaped radii matched to the requirements of each individual drive unit. Fitted flush to this smooth face, the drivers project sound entirely without obstruction. These elements combined result in a speaker which produces precisely the same tonality in every direction, reinforcing the sound-stage of the original recording.
Machined into the 360 Array trim are a series of concentric arcs — redolent of the grooves of a vinyl record — a thoughtful nod to Linn’s origins and the iconic Sondek LP12 turntable upon which the company was founded. Designed expressly for 360 are three curated finish collections. The Glasgow Collection celebrates our Scottish home with expressive colours and dynamic textures. The Classic Collection offers timeless, understated elegance, whilst the Signature Collection presents exclusive statement finishes.
