Linn Tukan Monitors in Rosenut - Amazing Bookshelf Speaker System

"Let me being by stating my predilections. I like resolution of tonal texture and the accessibility of a tune much more than finding the particular location of the violinist with the sniffles. I listen to music constantly, and while moving around the house. Though I have an equilatral triangle set-up, with a listening chair at one corner, I am not often confined to that chair. That said, let me begin to unload my impressions.

The Tukans were my "first love" of high-end audio. I auditioned many upscale brands and was unimpressed. However, on hearing the Tukans mated with a hi-capped Naim Nait 3 and CD3.5, I was sold on the magical presence these spkrs have. I bought a pair in cherry, and upgraded extensively around them.

I listened to these speakers for a couple of years with a variety of equipment, and came to know their particular sound well. They have been criticized for being bright. However, when mated with high-quality electronics, I found that this was not the case. In fact, the Tukans had a sophisticated and delicate treble quality which is only bested by such mighty tweeters as those in the B&W Nautilus 805, and other more expensive top-shelf speaks. They were no more forward than the supposedly "dark" Sound Dynamics RTS-3 with any amp/pre combo I used. The midrange, especially the lower and middle mid range was very very good. They are the epitome of punchy and rhythmic, qualities contributing to their reputation for musicality, I'm sure. The kick of a kick drum was heavy and fast enough to be life-like. I listened to these speakers with everything from Radiohead to Rutter's Requiem to Miles' Kind of Blue. They took on all types of music with equal aplomb. Horns were brassy, and cymbals were shimmery. Plucked bass was tight, not rubbery or muffled. Especially when mated w/Naim control, the music was involving." - Unnamed Audiophile
