I have Tukan's in my office system. I have also tried them in my main system in a very large well treated room with Sigtech DSP room correction. It is hard to make them disappear, especially since there is a certain brightness resulting from a small peak in the frequency response and the port can excite the room modes. However, I think they are great speakers (I’m listening to Haydn on them right now) and recommend them to all of my classical music listening friends on a budget.

This is only way I have found to get them to come lose to disappearing. Make sure that the first reflection points (especially behind you) are treated ant that overall the room is a little dead so the brightness is not reinforced. Get them away from the back wall so the port doesn’t excite the room modes. Set them no more then 6 feet apart, toe them in and listen close to on axis at 6 – 8 feet.

Doing the disappearing act isn’t the Tukan’s strong point but musical enjoyment sure is.
