The Linn stands we sold allowed for touching the back wall with the back of the speaker. The feet actually protruded forward.
I remember Ivor Tiefenbrun demo'ing them to a bunch of us at the Linn factory around 1982 or so.
The Sara, the Kan, and the DMS were all meant to be as close to the wall as you could get them, with the Kan and Sara braced against the wall whenever possible. The brace could be anything that coupled them mechanically, I don't mean bolting them to the wall.
Depth fanatics didn't get it, but everyone else loved the drive and musically involving qualities of all of the Linns.
Naim were about the only electronics that could handle the load of the isobaric woofs. Great combo.
In fact, some of the most famous names in high end audio power amplifiers sounded utterly anemic when driving the Saras or DMS.
Best regards,Jim Smith
