Any opinions on Lin Index bookshelf speakers? Looking for a smaller set of speakers that will fit in a recess in a room.
Also considering the Celestion 3 as an option. Any other recommendations would be most welcome.

If you need something small with a bit of 'oomph' you could do a helluva lot worse than a pair of Mission 760i's or its improved sibling, the 780se. I have been running a pair of 760i's for a couple of months now and they are astonishing, even bettering my ART Skibo's in some respects

Are they bookshelf speakers? I had a pair in a kitchen system, I liked them but they are not very accurate (accentuate the bass IMO) - completely inoffensive sound though. Depends on amp I guess, I used vintage Nad 3020 & A&R A60 to drive them.
Deadly dull and boring. As has been suggested, they are inoffensive because they do nothing wrong, but they also do nothing much!
Now a pair of these are in a different league: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...eant-Series-II
Or these which are very compact and sound great: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MISSION-78...item2594eeaf1d
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
If you've owned a pair then you must be aware that they are very small speakers. I am also very surprised to hear that your pair accentuated bass and as such you didn't consider them accurate, certainly not an accusation I could throw at the pair I have here. I own several amps and the wee Missions sound fab hooked up to all of them, perhaps it was a siting issue...
EDIT: Or were you referring to the Index's?
I wouldn't say they are small speakers, certainly not bookshelf. I have a pair myself in the loft.

I've liked all Linn speakers I've owned [Index II, Nexus & Keilidh.] None set the world alight but they sound "nice" & don't draw attention to themselves.
The Index's.
