Apart from all the other obvious, have they been thrown down a stairwell?

Some might say that those aren’t really Kans, that they’re a poorly constructed travesty, inferior in every conceivable way.

And they’d be entirely correct.

Why are the binding posts at the top of the back panel and aimed upwards to force a loop in the cable? Makes no sense.

Cos they were made down to a price and they used an available cheap 3rd party terminal insert.

Is it technically possible to make original Kans sound any worse.

Congrats to Linn if they took on the challenge and succeeded with the mk V

Its very easy to make Kans sound dreadful, connect them to a tube amp.

I bought the Kan IV version new for that price after comparative auditioning at my dealer around 22 years ago. Sounded magnificent with my CB Nait 2 if I may say so.
