The £853 asking price for this used Linn Klout stereo power amplifier sits just below the 25th percentile of £875 from six recent GBP listings, making it a clear bargain compared to the typical used market where the median is £940 and the 75th percentile reaches £1,146. This is a strong deal for a model widely regarded as arguably the finest amplifier Linn ever produced, offering exceptionally natural amplification through its single-pair-transistor-per-channel design that delivers 160 watts per channel at 4 ohms.
The Klout is celebrated for its clean, musical sound and minimal distortion, making it a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking high-fidelity stereo power without the bulk of larger amplifiers. Its original-owner condition, as noted in the listing, suggests careful maintenance and likely includes the original manual, adding significant value. With a re-cap service costing around £375 available if needed, this clean listing at a genuine discount represents a timely buying opportunity for a well-loved, rare product line.

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.
