Due in shortly is the LInn Majik Isobarik Loudspeaker – to quote Linn ’35 years after Ivor invented Linn’s original Isobarik loudspeaker, breakthroughs in acoustic development and manufacturing have enabled us to bring back this much-loved loudspeaker design, re-invented to meet the demands of today’s discerning customer.

The new Majik Isobarik uses twin ‘face-to-face’ bass drivers, mounted at the bottom of the cabinet and working in tandem to produce very deep and controlled bass from a relatively compact enclosure.’ – our demonstration Majik Isobarik shall be available in store soon – please contact us to arrange a demonstration.

We love the NaimUniti and so do many customers who brought this great British Hi-Fi music system. Currently the price is £2145 – this however is increasing 1st April to £2495. This is due to raising cost of parts inside the NaimUniti. Naim wish to maintain the sound quality of this product rather than degrade components to hit a ‘price point’. The good news is for all NaimUniti’s ordered prior to 1st April will be at £2145 regardless of when received by us from Naim. If you were thinking of buying one now is the time – call us for details or drop by for demonstration.
