Bought in 1994 from the Sound Organisation in York, but never really had the time to enjoy them and therefore little used.rnAs new condition with unmarked speaker cover grilles and optional composite floor stands, plus original owners manual.rnCollection in person preferred from Ilkley, West Yorks, but happy to deliver depending on location and at extra cost.
This £345 asking price is ambitious, sitting just above the 75th percentile of £343 from your database median of £279. While it aligns with the upper end of the typical £200–£350 used range seen in recent listings, it leaves no margin for negotiation compared to the fair-market median.
The Linn Keilidh remains a highly regarded compact tower known for its precise imaging and tight bass, delivering a refined sound that rivals far more expensive speakers. Buying at this price is only worthwhile if the pair is in genuine excellent condition with original stands and no finish wear, as the value here relies entirely on that pristine state. If the condition matches the description, it’s a solid opportunity for a well-loved design, but wait for a drop toward £280 if you want true market fairness.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Linn Products: Brand Overview
Linn Products was founded in 1973 by Scottish engineer Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow as a vehicle to manufacture the Sondek LP12 turntable, which would become the company's most iconic product and a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio. The brand emerged during the golden era of British hi-fi with a revolutionary "source first" philosophy—challenging the prevailing industry belief that loudspeakers mattered most by demonstrating that superior sound quality begins with the audio source. This foundational principle has guided the company's engineering ethos for over five decades.
Linn's product portfolio spans the complete hi-fi chain, from turntables and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and loudspeakers. The company introduced the world's first microprocessor-controlled preamplifier and power amplifier in 1985 (the LK1 and LK2), establishing itself as an electronics specialist. From 2007 onward, Linn pivoted toward digital music streaming, becoming an early adopter of network-based audio playback supporting studio master-quality recordings at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and discontinued CD player production in 2009 to focus on this strategic direction.
Linn occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors for its uncompromising engineering approach and longevity. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous product design, acoustic isolation principles, and a commitment to eliminating weak links in the signal chain—a philosophy that has made Linn one of the most influential manufacturers in hi-fi history and a benchmark for quality-focused audio engineering.
