Linn Klimax 350 6-way AKTIV Floorstanding Loudspeakers

Uncompromising in every conceivable aspect, the name Klimax represents the pinnacle of audio perfection. Klimax is the culmination of over 35 years’ experience of designing and manufacturing the world’s finest audio systems. This is the first ever Linn loudspeaker range to be bestowed the coveted Klimax title – a testament to the level of performance delivered.

The Klimax loudspeaker range is the culmination of an intensive period of acoustic analysis and development which spanned over two years. Significant playback breakthroughs resulted from this period. The Aktiv servo bass system, 3K Driver Array, drive units and their crossovers have been extensively re-designed and improved to deliver a level of clarity and detail commensurate with Klimax. The result is pure audio perfection.

The Klimax range perfectly complements the highest performance stereo or multi-channel music and movie systems. The fully integrated Aktiv floor-stander, bookshelf and centre channel have Linn’s patented Chakra amplification cleverly housed within the cabinet for a high performance yet simple and neat solution. The requirement for fewer individual components not only makes Klimax loudspeakers more visually appealing, it is also more efficient than traditional active designs - superior in every parameter through simplicity. The Aktiv servo bass-reinforcement loudspeaker completes the range to provide full 5.1 playback. A passive variant of the floor-stander is also available for use with external power amplifiers.

The exceptional performance of the floor-standing model is further enhanced by a new stand design. The stand is plasma-cut and machined from a single piece of armour-grade steel plate to provide rock-solid stability, and echoes Glasgow’s long-established ship building roots.

Klimax loudspeakers retain the elegance and outstanding build quality first introduced in the exceptional Artikulat loudspeaker range, and hailed as ‘gorgeous’. The curved, sculpted cabinets form an exceptionally rigid shell in which the drive units operate. Four real wood finishes are available - Black Ash, American Cherry, Maple or Rosenut. All loudspeakers are also available in special high gloss finish or, for the more inventive, we can create a bespoke solution especially for you which complements your living space.

Complete your Klimax system with loudspeakers which represent the ultimate in precision engineered performance and beauty.
