Immerse yourself
For an even more immersive listening experience, add a partner speaker to create a stereo system. The speakers are perfectly sized to sit either side of a TV on a media cabinet or on stands (Series 3 stand available to buy separately), and connected via HDMI your TV will sound even better than before.
As with all Linn DSM systems, multiple Series 3 speakers can be connected around the home to play independently or together, all with the same simple control options.

With pinpoint imaging, midrange purity, and a surprisingly agile bass, the Linn Series 3 delivers a premium all-in-one sound that feels bigger than its compact cabinet. Gordon Brockhouse praised its natural timbre and holographic stage, while What Hi-Fi? called it a strikingly articulate, proper hi-fi wireless speaker.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Wide, deep, and highly precise soundstage with near-holographic placement of instruments and voices.
Exceptionally clear and natural midrange, with piano and vocals rendered uncolored and convincing.
Refined treble stays clean and controlled, avoiding glare, splashiness, or harshness.
Strong dynamic expressiveness and rhythmic precision, with sounds emerging cleanly even in complex passages.

Cons
Deepest bass notes can sound a little faint on very low material, especially before room optimisation.
Kazoo and Manage Systems are functional but awkward, with app organization and setup described as confusing and cumbersome.
No analogue inputs limits flexibility for sources like turntables or CD players.
Tidal Masters support is missing, which is a drawback for subscribers wanting hi-res Masters playback.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 95/100
Reviewers are overwhelmingly positive about the speaker's overall sound, praising its tonal accuracy, coherence, balance, and driver integration. Across the set, it is described as engaging, transparent, and highly controlled, with no meaningful sonic compromise called out in the summaries.
Bass
90/100
For a compact sealed design, the bass is judged impressively capable, with reviewers hearing low end that is agile, full, and convincing. One review notes that the lowest notes can sound a little faint on very deep material, but also says definition improves with room correction and that bass can sound full and warm without bloat.
Mid
98/100
The midrange is a clear strength, with repeated praise for tonal accuracy, clarity, and natural vocal and instrumental rendering. Reviewers call piano uncolored and consistent, voices full and warm yet human, and rap and acoustic detail delivered with striking frankness and articulation.
Treble
96/100
Treble reproduction is described as clean, refined, and free of glare. Cymbals have an ideal metallic sheen, consonants stay clear without turning hot or spitty, and orchestral textures remain transparent rather than scratchy or steely.
Soundstage Imaging
97/100
Imaging and staging draw repeated strong praise, with a wide, deep, and high presentation and very precise placement of instruments and voices. Reviewers also note a huge, transparent soundstage with clearly defined three-dimensional positioning, though one account suggests the second speaker expands scale and image size even further.
Dynamics
95/100
Dynamics are portrayed as nimble and expressive, with outstanding shading and strong handling of subtle musical shifts. The speaker is also said to let sounds jump out without distress or compression, while another review highlights its precision and rhythmic confidence.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
95/100
Reviewers are impressed by the unusual industrial design and by how polished and premium the speaker looks and feels. The cabinet is described as gorgeous, elegant, and close to looking its price, with comments also noting the distinctive shaped enclosure and high-end finish.
Value for Money
88/100
This is clearly an expensive product, and reviewers say so directly, but they also argue that its performance helps justify the asking price. One review calls it the best wireless speaker tested, and both sets of comments suggest the cost is hard to ignore but defensible for listeners who want this level of performance and streaming integration.
