Naim Audio: New Internet Radio & Enhanced Streaming

8 October 2024

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

26 September 2024

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.
