So I'm sitting here on this fine evening, enjoying some recently purchase Kan Mk2 Kustone editions on the end of my Naim Nait 1.
Also in the room are some early Kan Mk1 (with the binding posts) as a very viable contender. The traits are quite distinguishable, as many have documented - the Mk1 are intense, lively, edgy, whilst the Mk2 are less so, with a smoother and more relaxed presentation. They're kind of closer to my Harbeth P3ESR in my main system, although not as smooth or refined but hugely enjoyable. So far, my vote out of the two Kan models is going to the Mk2 which may be controversial.
There are a few iterations of the early (Mk1&2) Kans, and I'm wondering what's your favourite vintage and why?
