RE: I think a useful comparison can be made to Linn ...

Maybe he wasn't given that option? One of the problems dealers have is that they have no way to demonstrate most of their speakers in optimal locations. They can take a few fancy products and give them entire rooms, but most have to sit on the shelf, literally or figuratively. Which does more harm to dipoles than to boxes. Another problem is that the somewhat funereal acoustics of these places are generally optimized for omnis. Dipoles are better in a more "normal" acoustic, indeed, it seems to me that they're ability to sound good without specialized room treatment is one of their positive points: if it has sufficient breathing space, a dipole will image beautifully in a regular living room.
