The Linn Keilidh, introduced in 1992, is a high-performance 2-way infinite baffle floorstanding loudspeaker from Linn Products, UK. It embodies the spirit of a Scottish ceilidh with its lively sound, elegant real wood veneer finish (options like black ash, cherry, rosenut, walnut), and frameless grille design. The solidly built cabinet is braced throughout, incorporating fibre sound absorbent and Linn KU-STONE composite for surface wave absorption. It features two 160mm (6.25") carbon-loaded polypropylene mid/bass drivers symmetrically placed around a 19mm (0.75") ceramic dome tweeter for a stable sound source. The crossover frequency is 2.8kHz, using high-quality components with minimized wiring. Supports single-wired, bi-wired, bi-amplified, bi-amplified AKTIV, and tri-amplified AKTIV configurations (some dealer-installed). Optional KU-STONE granite composite bases and adjustable floor spikes enhance stability. No longer manufactured, with parts like drivers scarce; used market prices range $399-$650. Praised for clean transients, low distortion, good bass, and efficiency, best with 60W+ amps into 4 Ohms (e.g., Linn LK140).
