So happened that I auditioned a couple of days ago, driven with audiolab 8000S. They are outright smooth, polite and unintrusive. Typically English but do not sound overly thick, say in between B&W and Pro Ac. They do not project pin point imaging nor quick but organic. Easy to drive 91 db of sensitivity. They are sealed box, doubt that they are happy placing against the wall. 1 1/2 hours audition is not enough for me to experience placement to draw any conclusions. Somehow, the bass could have been tighter for my taste. You can't be mistaken a floorstanding speaker if you are blindfolded.
Can't figure out configuration of the binding posts. My findings is based on amp connected to hi and mid. Best driven with fast sounding solid state, with tube, the bass is woolly. IMO, they are not PRaT speaker. Classical genre should be the ticket.
The pair shown are in really good condition. Best to listen for yourself.

Hmmm... they were assembled and tested by Paul Thorpe, I wonder if that's Billy Thorpe's brother? :scratch2: :D

They sound absolutely wonderful. I have since gone to PS Audio Bi-Wire Statement cables....UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! I have never heard them Aktiv but I am plenty happy running the passive application. Got a hell of a deal as well.

Has Linn ever designed a loudspeaker not to be placed anywhere else but close to a back wall? I don't think so!

Not sure...I heard that since most apartments in the UK are small, that had something to do with the design. My friend is visiting the LINN factory this week and I had asked him to inquire about this very subject......I'll keep you posted...
