Answered Linn Komponent 110 Speakers. Any good for £210?

[geowars2]

I can pick up a set of these second hand locally for £210 without an amp.

Worth it?

For now I'd pick up a basic enough amp, run them in stereo, then save up and buy surround sound and subwoofer later.

I would say you did pretty well.

The speaker's response does not go exceptionally deep but about as deep as most good bookshelf speaker. I would expect them to sound very good.

Linn is more noted for their amps, but their products are not cheap, so I expect you got these speakers for a very attractive price.

I found a system price on these of £6000. I found individual prices on these of about US$850 -

Not much to complain about there.

Thanks for the info.

I haven't actually bought them yet but I think I will if they're still available.

Should make a decent step up from my TV's built in speakers.

Going to pick up a second hand amp now to power them...
In the mean-time, I can test them with an extremely underpowered 20w t-amp, as that's all I have
