Kans with the new tweeter

Posted by: mykel on 22 May 2001

As a follow-up to what Ron the Mon wrote in a past thread about upgrading the Kan1/2 with the new Ninka / Katan tweeter. He has done this. I e-mailed Linn about this looking for a bit of info. The following is what they replied with.


Can I fit the new Ninka & Katan treble unit to my Keltik/Kaber/Keilidh/Tukan
(etc) loudspeakers?
The crossover alignments for the Ninka and Katan were designed specifically
to match the new treble unit with the cabinet, the bass unit and, in the
case of the KATAN, the port. The crossover alignments for other Linn
speakers were designed to match with the original drive units fitted to
them, so we do not recommend fitting the Ninka/Katan treble unit to any
other Linn speakers.
We do, however recognise that some Linn Loudspeaker owners would like to try
experimenting with this unit in their Linn loudspeakers - if you are
interested in doing this, please take note of the following points before
you proceed:
· This is not an authorised Linn modification
· The modification would be carried out entirely at your own risk
· The full long and short term implications of fitting this unit to
loudspeakers other than Ninka & Katan are not known.
· Fitting this treble unit to Linn loudspeakers other than Ninka and Katan
will invalidate the product warranty.

I was thinking seriously about doing this after Ron's glowing recomendation. But now I'm not so sure....

Any comments ?

Thank-you
