IMHO Linn really made only one really good landmark product , the LP12. They have been surviving on that for yonks.
Even that wasnt an innovative product and is way overpriced for its build quality. System based Co's like linn and even meridian are impacted by the lifestyle music stores of Bose and B&O. Folk these days live in smaller dwellings and are computer savvy , they want small discrete easy to use with a HT component and tons of puter convergence. It's really only ppl our age and audio persuasion that will go for more esoteric expensive stuff.
Durban poison or Malawi cob is the connoisseurs (sp) choics:)
