Tukans CAN sound 'tin' in bright room, and it is interesting that nobody mentioned or asked about source component? If good analog or Linn's own Mimik or even better Karik CDP was used i believe that would alienate most of the problems. So, evaluate your room first, then source.
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.
