![]() ![]() These are highly sought after and are one of the best stand mount speakers produced – at least with out getting into extravagant money. The SARAs use two highly modified KEF 8” drivers for bass and midrange and a 1” soft dome tweeter for highs. It uses two bass drivers, one behind the other, working together to allow much deepened and more controlled bass than can normally be gotten in a small cabinet. Isobarik loading is a unique bass loading invented and patented by Linn in the early 1970s. ![]() The SARA is the only 2-Way Isobarik speaker Linn ever manufactured. Price is Firm! However, the price is Negotiable If you buy 2 or more of my Reverb items concurrently! If bought Friday, Saturday or Sunday I will ship out no later than the following Tuesday! Packed exceptionally WELL! If bought Monday through Thursday, I will ship within 48 hours. I am not Amazon, I am just a guy selling over 60 years of a family member's collection of vintage audio items! Ships from San Marcos California. ![]() Please understand that I do not have my items pre-packed or pre-boxed. Typically, shipping will still take 3 business days. However, since these speakers are relatively small audio items, I will be able to ship them relatively quickly, but not too quickly or sloppily because my Shipping Motto is: Quick shipping is not Quality shipping. Overall, Shipping on items such as Vintage Speakers usually takes a bit longer than ordinary equipment. If you are a buyer on the East coast, I can negotiate the asking price of these speakers, but then the shipping costs will go up to the actual cost which will be $50 and that is FIRM! If you are a buyer on the East coast, especially, shipping will cost me closer to $45-$50 for carrier fees and materials. These speakers are relatively small and not too bulky or heavy and so I am charging just $5 for shipping. from the source-and better-as much as 92dB at. There are no issues and they sound absolutely amazing with a smaller wattage amplifier like a Marantz 2215 4415 2220 2225 2230 2240 2250 and the like and or especially with tube amps because of the high efficiency rating of the speakers which is 88dB at 1 meter, 3 ft. The cabinetry is Teak which is very RARE! Functionally they are Mint. There are the typical spike marks and rubs on the bottoms and a few very minor blemishes elsewhere. I am rating them 7/10 to be on the conservative side but I believe they are more like 8/10. These SARAs are overall in very good condition cosmetically. If I buy the speaker covers, I must add another $100 to the asking price for my time and the cost, or you can get them yourself for less! Replica covers can be found on another selling platform, just put in the model name and they will come up. They have the original XLR speaker connectors but are missing the dustcovers. They made these speakers for I think 4 or 5 years and then in 1987 changed them and not for the better but these are all original 1982 Linn Isobarik SARA speakers. These speakers are all original from 1982. ![]() My uncle would buy speakers like these new, use them for a very short time, box them back up, store them and then move onto something else that was either interesting or popular for that time period! These speakers have seen very little usage. Room filling and amazingly detailed sound in a small package! Also, perfect to couple with a Linn turntable or other Rare and Amazing Linn components! Perfect for a small space like an apartment or a condo. These Speakers are one of the Holy Grail of Bookshelf size speakers, Made by Linn in Scotland, but interestingly there is no option for Scotland in the Reverb Country list, only U.K. ![]()
