Linn Index Standmount Speakers – Black Ash

Here we have a pair of Linn’s original Index standmount loudspeakers. They are in fully working condition although cosmetically there are a number of blemishes and marks – please refer to photographs. The white patches on the woofers are camera flash. Supplied suitably packaged they come with our regular three month warranty.
Linn Said….
The Linn Index is a two way loudspeaker system, utilizing an eight inch bass driver and a one inch soft dome tweeter in an acoustic suspension enclosure. Even though it is a “budget” priced loudspeaker, the Index is intended for use by the serious hi-fi enthusiast. It offers what we believe is the best value for money available in an inexpensive speaker, in terms of parts quality, construction and performance.
Almost all lower priced loudspeaker cabinets are constructed of ½ inch or ⅝ inch particle board, often of a lower density than that used in larger loudspeakers. The Linn Index uses full ¾ inch, high density particle board, which results in a much more rigid enclosure. Likewise, speaker connectors are usually mounted on a pressboard insert, set into a cutout on the back of the cabinet, which greatly compromises cabinet rigidity. The Index connectors are flush mounted directly into the cabinet, eliminating this problem. The connectors themselves are individually machined 4 mm banana sockets, custom manufactured by Linn Products, instead of the typical press-on connectors or binding posts. These connectors provide a vastly superior electrical connection. Along these lines, the speaker is wired internally with 20 amp, 50 strand cable, which is the same cable used in Linn’s more expensive loudspeakers, including the DMS and PMS.
The black wood grain enclosure measures approximately 17” x 11” x 8”, and weighs 18 lbs. It is designed to be placed close to a back wall, and to give good results using a wide variety of signal sources and amplification.
