Has anybody out there been able to compare both Kans and IBLs at the same time? If so, could you explain the differences? Do the smaller Royds have the same qualities? I currently have Credos on the end of a Nait3/Flatcap. For a source, I use an LP12/Ekos/17D2 and a CD3.5/Flatcap. The Nait and CD3.5 each sit on their own 3 layer ball/nut system .It produces music but the timing portion is not there. For me, timing is the thing that tickles my brain (my theory is that it releases endorphins and is therefore addictive). I used to have a pair of Kans before I got into tubes and sold them (biiig mistake). The Credos have a big sound but no brain tickle. I have heard Nait based systems before that had the timing thing so mine should be capable of it too. I am thinking about getting another pair of Kans or maybe something similar in the hopes that this will add the timing back into the music. That's why I am asking for the comaprisons. Or if anybody has any further suggestions, that would also be welcome.

Mike,
You are right about the Royds. Their Sorcerers are very good loudspeakers that should tickle your brain.

Hi!
I have comparred KanII vs IBL and I like the Kans better.Kan II are more musical and works good with all kinds of music.IBL have problems in complex mixes I think.Test system: LP12/Ekos/Lingo/CDI/52/250.

I might be out of place here, but I understand the Credos need at least 72/140 to sing properly. Also, the Kans work best at the end of a 250. If you find that the timing of your nait is off, it may be struggling to control the loudspeaker. Just my thoughts ...

I have compared them about 6 months ago. The IBLs are so much better (of course this is just my opinion). I don't like the treble of the Kans, also the midrange of IBLs is a lot better.
Still, you will need some proper amp to drive IBLs (at least a 250).
