They (Kennerton) replied that you could try removing the ear cushions and warming the driver with a hair dryer for 30 seconds.

It's solved the issue ?

The new HPs have appeared on the English website:

https://kennerton.org/shop/vinneta-walnut/

https://kennerton.org/shop/arkona/

Arakona's price is much higher than I have expected, and a 900$ difference between the two models, it's such a big difference it seems that the Vinneta is mid-tier and the Arakona is top-tier, and not as if they are two variations on the same drivers with only a different cup. Prices have been adjusted on several models, and the Rognir is surprisingly priced higher than Arakona.

I just noticed that the Arakona are very heavy:

The information on both models is very sparse with only a few sentences about the HPs and a lot more about the carrying bags.

I just miss being able to test Kennertons but more so not being able to get that preponderance of evidence of all kinds of reviews, personal opinions, banter of and about their HPs.

LIterally almost a 50% increase in cost seems huge, not to mention the vinneta cost 30% less than the heartland!

I think it's a mistake. As far as I know, they are creating a new official site, and the current site is unclear who maintains it.

It seems that now you are able to order from the website as it is.

a new note has appeared when you want to checkout:

New shipping methods:

The website has certainly been updated.

Despite the price difference, I can assure everyone the Vinneta sounds top tier. There’s nothing even remotely “mid tier” about it aside from not costing $4,000 - $6,000

if it costs much lower than its quality tier, it is a double win!!

I’m not sure but maybe you’re right. I recall when ordering the Vinneta that the price difference between Arkona and Vinneta wasn’t huge. I recall thinking Vinneta might launch at $3200 and Arkona maybe $3600 respectively. I was quite surprised to see Vinneta pop up at $2400 and Arkona over $3000 when it did.

If anyone here is looking to get the Vinneta, this is the time, before they fix the price, haha.
I'll ask Ivan about this tomorrow.

Below is the EQ I use for the Rognir Planar with the ECL-03 pads, in case anyone is interested in trying it. Headroom/pre-amp of -7 db.

This looks very similar to what I saw in a write up on ASR. I use some of these points too, but a stronger bass line for some of the classic rock that I like. I am using the stock pads, though. The funny thing is that I arrived at my EQ by trial and error, and then found striking similarities on the ASR post, which is written as if he did the same thing. Rognir is indeed the most similar to a speaker experience that I've found so far. I look forward to trying Vinneta or Arkona soon.

In Russia, Arkona costs 50 dollars more than Vinneta

 

[AnakChan]

Yes please. I've edited and removed some posts. Anyone who insists on replying instead of reporting, I'd be more than happy to lock them out of this thread.

Talked to Ivan.
1. He fixed the prices, but in the bad way - Vinneta price was increased.
2. He says ordering outside of Russia is still impossible. No way to pay.
