Assume you've tried placing the Tukans closer together (5-6ft) and 3-4ft from woofer to back wall. Another matter is the amplification: which Linn is it (assuming it's a linn amp, arcam the cdp). Electronics usually help the disappearing act...

Lastly, speaker cables: if linn, you can do better in my experience (and not too expensive at that -- see OTA, et alia). A fast cable with open highs will do the trick.

Had a pair of active Tukans (&Klout) on loan for a few months. Nice tunes!
want 'em to disappear? send 'em to *my* house! ;~) seriously, try a tubed preamp, for starters. i assume the speakers are away from the side walls, &/or have sound absorption at the sidewalls' 1st reflection points to the listening position...

Hi,

I would pull the speakers out from the front wall to 4 ft. As well, not all music material will enable to make your speakers disappear. For example, most audiophile stuff from Chesky when played on most speakers will make it sound as if music is not coming from the speaker if properly set up, but normal music is sometimes recorded so that it is panned hard left or right and the sound will emanate from the speaker and not "disappear".

Good luck!
