That is the double-edged sword when gaining detail and resolution...recordings,equipment, and cables are very important in "revealing" speakers such as the Linns...I am in the same boat...and probably will go tube power to "smooth" out the top end of my new Quads...however...it is much easier to make a unforgiving speaker a more forgiving one...instead of the other way around...good luck
Are Linn Tukans a bit on the bright side?
I have a new used all-Linn system with Tukans biamped with a Majik (bass) and an LK85 (tweeter), and noticed that, particularly after biamping, the Tukans sound ever so slightly bright/unforgiving/harsh at the top end (e.g. soprano voices). This made me wonder the following:
1. Are Tukans known to have a bright sound, or is it perhaps the components I'm using?
2. Is the brightness a result of biamping?
3. Is there a tweeter adjustment that can be made to mitigate top-end harshness?
4. Are there interconnects that could help (I'm using Linn's standard analogue interconnects but thinking about picking up some Linn silvers)? Any recommendations within reason?
5. Would a sub help?
Thanks.
