You will hear speech that sounds crisp, clear and natural. The dialogue is heard without strain and is given its rightful place as the driving force of any story on film. This clarity of detail is equally important where music is concerned. With the Linn AV 51 System, the music that accompanies your film, (or via audio formats) possesses the accuracy and emotional impact you would expect from a Linn sound system.
