Linn 119
Documentation on the Linn 119 is thin. What the record shows: it was a two-way bookshelf speaker from the Scottish manufacturer, appearing in resale listings with the description "Linn 119 - 2 Way Bookshelf Speakers." That much is confirmed across multiple independent seller listings.
Beyond that, almost nothing is verified. No production years, original price, impedance, sensitivity, or power handling figures have surfaced. One seller listing fragment references a "single 20.5 cm (8 inch) bass driver," but the surrounding text is truncated and unverifiable, so treat that detail with caution. Driver type, crossover points, dimensions, and weight are all undocumented.
Surviving information on this model is sparse enough that even the enthusiast forums and period press have little to say. A classified ad in High Fidelity (November 1982, p.13) from the period mentions Linn's L-Series line, but the visible text concerns the L-15 model and makes no specific claims about the 119. It does at least place Linn's speaker lineup in the early 1980s marketplace.
Known specs:
- Type: 2-way bookshelf speaker
- Configuration: one tweeter, one woofer
- Possible (unverified): single 20.5 cm (8 inch) bass driver
If you own a pair and can fill in the blanks — dimensions, impedance, crossover details, or even just a photo of the back panel — the archive would welcome the contribution.
