Don't know how much use the Rosewood ones have had in recent times. I did play them for an hour before recording. I sense they could do with some loosening up though.

Agree to both comments. I find the Teaks a bit aggressive and they don't move as well. I actually find the Marvin Gaye piece to swing better on the Rosewood Kans as well.Lego wrote: ↑2019-05-22 11:08It's a bit disconcerting how different they are, I prefer the RosewoodsCharlie1 wrote: ↑2019-05-20 18:24 Linn Kan Rosewood Mark 1 with Scanspeak D2008 tweeter vs Teak Mark 1 with Hiquphon tweeter.

This is closer with the four different units but I still prefer the Rosewood Kan 1s. Interestingly the Teak Kan is my least favorite. The Kan 2 does some nice stuff but I still feel the music better on the Rosewood. Tukan isn't bad either. Not sure where I would rank Tukan vs. Kan 2 but both in the middle.Charlie1 wrote: ↑2019-05-22 15:13 I did this for my own benefit but just thought I'd share in case of interest.
Wanted to rule out the different K20 runs cos x1 Teak Kan is hard wired to some older K20.
These are all single speaker with the same K20 run. Also red LED Nait back from repair so that's in play as well.

LOL. Wow! I think I see Linn's next product announcement: K2400. "Twenty four individual runs of speaker cable conveniently divided into 12 color coded pairs (we had to invent some new colors to make this work) and packaged in a compact, elegant, and easy to conceal 20cm diameter jacket."Charlie1 wrote: ↑2019-05-22 10:18 Incidentally, I think I've found a way to combine the benefits of all my Linn speakers...

I struggle a bit with this one. I hear Mr. Gaye's heart and soul the most through the rosewood Kans, but the bluesy, Motowney funk comes across best via the Tukans. Also there's more tone and color to the first cymbal crash through the Tukans, rather than just a splash of white noise. I'm going to go out on a limb and rank them as follows (best to worst):Charlie1 wrote: ↑2019-05-22 15:13 I did this for my own benefit but just thought I'd share in case of interest.

Morning. Thanks for all the comments everyone.
LOL! Yes, it has zero grunt.markiteight wrote: ↑2019-05-22 19:39To which your freshly serviced Nait 1 responds, "don't look at me!"
I agree. With the Klyde it was never a question of searching for the emotion in the recording. With the AT I had to search for it to find it.
First off, I agree that clip 2 is easily more musical than clip 1.
