Floorstanding loudspeakers — Line Magnetic Audio LM-7395

The LM-7395 is a barrier speaker from Line Magnetic, listed by the company among its retro loudspeakers. Line Magnetic runs a workshop that repairs and recreates loudspeakers and electronics originally made by Western Electric, Altec and Jensen, and its barrier speakers follow that tradition of large, open-baffle style systems using classic horns and drivers.

Key specs that matter

The LM-7395 measures 202 x 224 x 105 cm, which makes it a room-dominating installation rather than a conventional floorstander. The name is shared with the TA-7395 frequency divider that Line Magnetic uses in its barrier speaker systems.

Engineering and use context

A system of this scale needs a dedicated listening space with enough floor area and ceiling height to accommodate it, and it is aimed at owners assembling a vintage cinema style setup driven by tube electronics.

Alternatives

The LM-7396 Barrier Speaker, built with the TA-7395 divider and a PR-22 three-way combined power supply, is another barrier model in the Line Magnetic range.
