KAN II's WANTED

Posted by: bigtrak on 22 January 2002

Hi
I have decided to wait until I can afford a decent pair of SBL's rather than buy a tatty cheap pair (this could take some time). In the mean time I have decided to see what all the fuss is about regarding Linn Kans. The problem is I can't find any, so if any of you have any that you would like to sell or know of any for sale please could you get in touch : awphoto@blueyonder.co.uk
Thanks alot

There's a pair on EBay at a (so far) very reasonable bid.

IMO it's essential to get the proper KanII stands as part of the deal.

Actually, looking more closely, they're old Kan 1 rather than 2, there's something funny about the speaker connecters. To add to the mystery the seller claims that they are 'the best Linn Kan model ever' and then has a wanted ad up for a pair of Mark 2s. Maybe not then.

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Hi
I live in Sheffield. I have seen the ebay ad but would rather wait for a pair of Kan II pref in wood finish. The wanted ad is mine though, I have stuck a wanted ad on loot as well - fingers crossed!

A bit to far to pop round. I have a pair of late Kan I that aren't in use at present but which I intend to keep. We could have tried them out and you could have got a first hand taste.

Anyway I think that Kans will remain a reasonably tradeable commodity at about the 200 pound mark. Good luck.

Thanks paul. I think a lot of people are keeping hold of their kans - they must be good!
