Majik Isobarik is seldom recent LINN speaker that can be used as partial aktiv.
However, Akurate 212/242 nor Majik 109/140 do not support partial aktiv; otherwise, I would like to also turn my bass unit driver on for aktiv before fully 8 drive units (needs 4 pair of separate speaker cable) aktiv (less cost).

Majik Isobarik - have chance to hear in hifi show this year. For vocal music, quite enough. For string music, i.e. violin, I think need certain amp power to drive it because it is 2K instead of 3K drive array.

請問有無師兄,玩過Linn kan MKI 呀? 佢都係用3/5A單元(B110)同箱!

Linn Kan I is a superb loudspeaker, every bit as good as the 3/5A (I have both) and MUCH cheaper! It is also easier to drive!

Hi Doctorjohn,

I just bought a pair of Linn kan mk1 by 2nd hand market.I am using melody sp3 to drive him, but I cannot push the super bass. I feel the sound is good but not enough bass compare with my Dali Royal mkIII. Do you feel like this? which amp you using ? THX!

Idonn't think you can get any good bass from Kan or LS3/5a. I know some 'hi hand' can but I don't think they are designed to give much bass.

get morden or big speakers for bass.

don't try, the attractive thing that make KAN musical is becuase of its rather rolled off bass, think about how it sounds if it has lots of bass. It will be just another pair of speakers..

As mda said in the 3/5A thread, the Kan I is better placed close to wall. If you prefer to have it out in the room, get it close to the side walls.

Away too much from the walls and the sound easily gets lean.

What is your placement?

And what power tubes are you using? If it's Russian 5881 the sound is lean.

i placed it right aganist the wall, driven by a Nait 1. I jus like the look and i enjoy listening to it quite a lot, even with almost no bass.

I means the kans no need output 8"or 10" bass. I only need it can output 4.5"or 5" bass. As before I play the track at my Dali Rayal MKIII have enough bass, but now using the Kans cannot provide eoungh bass at same track!

Both C-hing,

I am using Tung Sol old stock 5881 for my amp.I have already moved the speakers nearly to the wall, it can imporve not much. Is it my amp not enough power(38w)to push Kans ?

Well, it is hard to say. Integrated tube amps usually lack punch.

I use it with my Linn Majik I integrated and the match is of course good.

The Kan I has very clean and lean bass, but maybe that is not your cup of tea. And it doesn't reach very low.

Kan just wouldn't reach low, and its learn and the treble is very clear shouty at times. That's waht make it speical, makes it sound fast, groovy, but it also sounds like mono radio at times.

if you undertstand the KANs you will be able to like it, if you try look for the missing sound, you will never be happy.

the Kans are easy to drive my amp has only 15w and its very loud!

Both c-hing,
I assume that the Kans & 3/5a are same style so I was bought it! Well, I think I will try borrow my friend MF A100x to listen. To try again !
By the way, Did we compare the Kans & 3/5a which one can provide more bass ?

C-hing,
Did you open it to see the inside circuit board ? Here with I find in wed site.

one more !

"I assume that the Kans & 3/5a are same style so I was bought it! "

sorry to hear that, they are quite differenent tho they look very similar with same driver. They played tricks with the cross over. if you listen carefully 3/5a is quite speical taht the tweeter is handling lots of mid range sound, its not common, but it made ppl loved it.

the Kan has a more 'normal' crossover point.

my feeling only, i am not expert.

bass level is similar. 3/5a make you feel it has more bass becuase it has a warmer and slower sound.

what sort of bass are you looking for? i find them both good enough to present me with the bassline and allow me to follow the bass player or double bass but NO if you want the double bass to sound like real or if you want the bass drum to sound like in front of you,sorry, they can't give you that feeling,.

各位linn 友小弟想請教以下問題 !!
我朋友係美國拎左部linn classik08俾我，機係美國用開110v但就寫住自動調節110／220 auto ranging, meaning it will work with 110 or 220 volt. 是否雖要換 fuse便可！還是220V照用都得 thanks

i'm only using Linn Index speaker.
