One Box Hi-Fi Systems - Linn

Most hi-fi systems we sell are "tailor made" from a separate amplifierturntable, streamer and/or other music sources. However, these one-box systems combine amplifier and music sources in a single space-saving unit. Simply add your choice of bookshelf or floorstanding speakers and enjoy. See also our carefully curated hi-fi package deals.

We've included amplifiers in this section which include streaming functionality. We sell a larger range of integrated amplifiers, some of which also Bluetooth and/or onboard DACs so you can play music from your smartphone, computer, etc and digital sources, all of which can also serve as a one box hi-fi solution that just need speakers adding.

You can listen before you buy and we have a dedicated hi-fi showroom that you can visit. Alternatively you can take advantage of our 30 day money back guarantee. If you need further advice, please call or e-mail us and our team of audio experts will be happy to help


Linn is an iconic hi-fi manufacturer. Their current range spans from mid-level Majik systems, through to high-end Akurate and Selekt, to flagship Klimax systems along with the iconic LP12 turntable and a variety of upgrades for enhanced music. For more info on the current range, see our Linn range guide or contact us for advice.

Founded in 1973, Linn all began with one very special product - Linn's debut - that turns heads and ears to this very day: the Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. A product so perfect, very little has changed about it in over 40 years. Linn have carried the same principles and methods of design and manufacture with them throughout, and their products are produced to the same high standards as the turntable that still outsells its competitors.

Linn now produce a range of power amplifiers, digital network streamers and loudspeakers all categorised in to entry level Majik and Selekt, mid-level Akurate or flagship Klimax series to suit your budget and personal taste. The range also includes digital crossovers and power supplies and in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.

Founder Ivor Tiefenbrun was unsatisfied with the performance of a hi-fi system that he had purchased in Glasgow in the very early 70s. Upon experimenting, he came to the conclusion that the sound produced by the turntable was being affected by sound pressure variations within the loudspeakers.

He worked as an engineer for his father at the time, and with his help alongside a few of their colleagues, they crafted a precision engineered LP record playing turntable that was immune to acoustic feedback from loudspeakers. This was the Linn Sondek LP12, and with it was born the now widely accepted 'source-first' notion.

The 'source-first' notion was a challenge to the conventional wisdom of the day, which held that the loudspeaker was the most important part of the hi-fi system, rather than the individual components making up the system. Fast forward to the present day and Linn are still masters of source-first.

To this end, they now produce and manufacture their own music under the record company aptly named 'Linn Records'! They understand that good music is the key to good hi-fi and carry this to the core, with hi-fi designed to deliver the best quality music the very best possible way.

These one-box hi-fi systems combine several features in one unit, which typically includes a reasonably powerful amplifier and range of audio sources in one box. The benefit of this design means that all you need to start enjoying your music from such a system is a connection to the mains power supply as well as a pair of speakers connected with speaker cable. Most of these Hi-Fi systems will feature a CD player, allowing you to enjoy your favourite compact discs. Other functions typically offered include FM and/or DAB digital radio. Most of these systems offer an internal headphone amplifier, which lets you listen to your music using headphones rather than the speakers, which is ideal for late night listening sessions or if you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Some systems include Bluetooth functionality, enabling you to wirelessly send music or content from any Bluetooth-enabled device to your Hi-Fi System. Most systems will also offer a range of inputs allowing for the connection of multimedia devices such as smartphones, laptops and portable audio devices. These inputs are typically line-in 3.5mm minijack connections, although some systems allow for a USB input, which also offers the advantage of being able to charge your device while offering playback at the same time. Hi-Fi Systems offer a range of inputs to connect external devices, allowing you to use your system to listen to these sources. This allows you to connect a range of products such as DVD players, games consoles, Blu Ray players etc. to your system and enjoy high quality audio.

One advantage to purchasing a Hi-Fi System is that it allows you to use whatever speakers you like. Not only does this allow you to use any existing equipment or speakers you may have, but it also permits you to upgrade your system in the future or build the ideal setup by matching quality speakers with the receiver unit. Traditionally hi-fi systems would include speakers, either hard-wired into the main receiver or using a bespoke connection option preventing the use of your own speakers or existing equipment. Some of the systems we sell do include speakers, typically designed to match your system in sound. These can be replaced in the future if required.

The freedom of matching your system to most speakers, means that you can build the ideal system. If you are looking to build a particularly compact system, then your Hi-Fi System Receiver can be matched with some satellite speakers or particularly compact ones. Or if you require a system to match existing equipment or furniture, then you can purchase speakers of the same finish.
