Anyone know launch date for Linn "Attak" speakers?

Posted by: davewarehouse on 12 August 2002

I have just heard, from a reliable source(a friend of a Linn employee), that Linn is developing a standmount speaker, using Ninka type drivers in a larger Katan style cabinet. What interests me is that they are to be isobarically loaded as per Sara/DMS. Apparently they combine floorstander bass power with speed and agility.
I always liked the Sara because it gave great bass for its size, but never thought it to be a very pretty speaker.
Does anyone know of a launch date?, as there is no mention of it on Linns website, and my local dealer claims not to know nothing either.
By the way, it's to be called the Attak.

F*#& me!!! That's just the ticket for my small room... I'm gonna get me a pair of big power amps to drive them with

Either that or it's a wind-up.

No, there is no wind-up either intended or unintended. Had I suggested that the release date was at the start of April 2003 then I would understand your suspicion.
Not being a conspicuous fan of Linns Keilidh/Kaber/Keosa family, it would be nice to find a speaker that gave big performance from a smallish box, rather than the above named units giving miniscule results from a coffin large enough(and empty enough!) to hold their designer to ransom - I'm stuck with a pair of bloody Keilidhs for my sins!

So are Ninka's too big? Even a pair of Katans close to the back wall would be better than Keilidhs.
