WITHDRAWN OR RELISTED: FS: Linn Kan MK2 speakers with matching Kan MK2 stands [MEL]

[Alex Tomlinson]

Item: MK2 Linn Kans with matching stands
Location: Brunswick VIC
Price: $1000 
Item Condition: Speakers: Excellent for age. Stands: As new
Reason for selling: My room doesn't suit these speakers
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only
Extra Info: I purchased these speakers here on SNA a bit over a year ago. They are not perfect, showroom examples, and have the odd mark here and there, but are in perfect working condition, and have not been messed with.

As most people who own Kans know, the stands are a really key part of getting the best performance out of these little speakers. I found a set in the UK that had been freshly powder coated and were in fantastic condition, so I imported them. I don't want to talk about how much that cost... But they are basically impossible to find in Australia, so not much choice!

These are a super sweet little speaker, and deserve all of the praise that is heaped onto them.

 

So, why am I selling them?

My listening area is not the greatest. I have a big sliding glass door behind my speakers, and the Kans really want to be up hard against a solid wall to sound their best. I wanted to move the room around, but decided that harmony in the home was probably more important.

I'm really sad to let these go, because I had hunted for them for so long, and they are really beautiful to listen to when set up properly.

 

I do not have boxes for these speakers, so prefer local buyer, but will consider sending by Pack and Send at buyers expense, if there is a really keen buyer out of town.

I had a request to take the grilles off and show the drivers.

Only one of the grilles would come off easily (I suspect the other one still has the factory glue holding it down - and I'm not going to force it)

I had around 300 pairs of speakers from around the world & these are in my top 50.With the right amp they are so clean in all areas you would think they bigger then what they are.I used a Naim 250 which I still have & used Naim 135 which I still have & the Kans get better & better.Have compared them to ATC speakers which friends have got & find ATC over rated.Have a soft spot for ATC10A but

Hi Conrad,
Agreed! I used them with a Naim 250, and it’s a match made in heaven!

This is a huge bargain given the cost of the stands alone. These are a lovely set of small monitors.

These are giant slayers. I have Mk1 versions restored. Sublime on a good tube amp also, heaps of detail and imaging.
