Three new products
Selekt DSM is billed as as the most configurable streamer ever. This is because of its modular construction. It can be configured with a variety of insertable DACS and with a single or multiple power amps. The end result is a product that will suit many customers and yet can also be upgraded when funds allow.
It can be configured as a source only, married to a high quality DAC and with a wealth of inputs both analogue and digital. It can be configured as the same but married to a high quality pre-amp, to enable connection to a power amp or some active loudspeakers. It can also be configured as a one box solution with in-built amplification. Finally a home cinema module can be fitted.

The Classik hub has been improved fairly dramatically to offer greater structural rigidity and the new chassis, looks, feels and sounds better. This product is now on demo at Moorgate.
119 compact loudspeakers
Linn has a reputation for creating compact loudspeakers with excellent performance characteristics, even when positioned close to a wall. 119 is the latest Linn speaker to accomplish this feat, with a new performance benchmark and fundamentally entertaining presentation.
Pair your 119 loudspeakers with a Selekt DSM: Classic Hub, and you are investing in a complete system that can get better with age. Go from passive to Exakt by adding more internal amplification, upgrade your DAC modules, and benefit from free over-the-air software updates – all in one go, or incrementally as you desire.
119 features top-quality drive units which deliver superb linear performance. Drawing from what we learned during development of our 360 loudspeaker, drive units are mounted flush with the front of the cabinet, with no grille, to minimise obstruction of sound waves and improve movement.
Focus has been placed upon component quality throughout the speaker. The passive crossover in 119 is created for signal purity, lending the speakers speed and dynamism.
Inspired by our reference 360 loudspeaker is a magnet-mounted drive unit trim, featuring a series of fine, etched arcs evoking the surface of a vinyl record, and an electro-formed Linn logo tweeter guard.
RRP is £2500.
Both items are on demo now.
