Naim Audio: New Internet Radio & Enhanced Streaming
Whilst streaming opens up a world of music from streaming platforms and your own collection, sometimes you just want to put the radio on and let someone else choose.
Naim Audio has made this even easier with the launch of it’s own in-house internet radio solution, alongside it’s existing comprehensive internet radio options.
The update is available over the internet via the Focal & Naim App.
New Linn 119 & 150 passive loudspeakers
You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a very long time since Linn introduced new non-Exakt loudspeakers models. It is; over 15 years in fact. And whilst Exakt technology is undoubtedly excellent, not everybody wants to go down that route. So we’re delighted that Linn has listened and responded with 2 new passive models – 119 bookshelf and 150 floorstander – and with an easy upgrade path to Exakt if you so desire.
119 & 150 don’t fit anywhere in Linn’s Majik – Akurate – Klimax hierarchy, so for these, the moniker is dropped. They do however, share drive unit design with Linn’s flagship 360 loudspeakers, with units mounted at the very front of the baffle and with no grille, to minimise occlusion and improve excursion. Also inspired by 360 is the 119 & 150’s magnetic-mounted trim piece, simulating the grooves of a vinyl record, and an electro-formed Linn logo tweeter guard.
Linn Selekt DSM – new and improved Classic Hub
To coincide with the launch of it’s new loudspeaker offering – 119 & 150 – Linn is introducing a new and upgraded Selekt DSM Classic Hub.
New Classik Hub is not just a facelift; it comes with both significant performance and features benefits too, whilst maintaining the fundamental principles of Selekt – cartridge-based modularity, versatility and upgradeability.
Two New From Blue…Sound😊
Bluesound has launched two exciting new additions to it’s streaming line-up:
Node Icon – reference, wireless, hi-res, multi-room source and headphone amplifier, £899
Node Nano – a stripped down, ‘essentials only’ little box that’ll get you streaming in minutes, £299
plus Node 2024 – revamped and sonically improved performance streamer and headphone amp, £499
