The same type of discussion was on the Technics forum a while back.

The KN 2000 verses the newer KNs. The Kn 2000 had great instrument separation, straight ahead drums right up front, and some great separation of instrument sounds.
One thing I had to keep in mind, the music was SIMPLE AND BASIC then and so was THEIR INSTRUMENTS. ---And --- so is the KN 2000. They are a fantastic match for that kind of music.
The KN 7000 did not play that type of song as well. To much happening and the instruments were not the same. ----
So, the KN2000 still lives on �BUT NOT IN ALL AREAS, it�s LIMITED.

In My Humble Opinion, John C.
