Speaker Matching with Linn Gear


Why is it that several people seem to suggest that speaker matching (non-Linn speakers, that is) with Linn gear is very tricky? Some have indicated that it has been a nightmare.

Even talking with some dealers, I keep hearing, we've had some success with..................

What is it about Linn that makes it "tricky"?

I have owned several Linn products and have been happy with all but the LK-85 amp. The other Linn amp I used was the AV5105 which I really liked. I used two of them for bi-amping. The only speaker I used with less than satisfactory results was the PSB Platinum 1. They just seemed very one dimensional. Not really sure if it was the amps or speakers.
Bottom line, I don't feel the need to use Linn speakers to get good sound from Linn amps or source products.
