  • A worthy investment!
Color: Matte White
Disclaimer: I am not a sound engineer or an audiophile. I use these Kanto YU6 for gaming/music/podcasts. I've had them for 8 months and I've been nothing but pleased with the quality of the sound, build, and overall aesthetic. I was looking to upgrade from my old Logitech setup (which I had been using for 15 years) and wanted to find something that delivered great sound and looked great while doing it. The highs, mids and lows have enough separation that I've been discovering "new" sounds in games/songs/albums that I've listened to for years. The treble can have a marginally tinny sound if it's pushed too far but the issue is easily resolved with some level adjusting. Once adjusted it perfectly compliments the mids and lows. The midrange sits where it should be and delivers clean and crisp audio. The bass from these speakers is good enough but they really should be paired with a sub. I went with the Kanto 8 and it sounds fantastic! (adjust the crossover to find that optimal sweet spot where the bass is warm and punchy and folds right into the soundscape) These speakers deliver a clean and beautiful sound. Would recommend! ... show more

  • Works great with my Apple TV and iPhone!
Color: Gloss Red
I love my Kanto speakers! So much flexibility with source inputs, which is why I bought these particular speakers. I plan to purchase a turntable soon, and these speakers allow me to plug it straight into them! Not to mention how beautiful the glossy red finish is! They sound great, much better than the Apple mini pods I was using with my Apple TV. The voices are so much clearer now! And I love having a remote! No regrets with THIS purchase! ... show more

  • Great speakers for your turntable setup!
Color: Matte White
I previously had a 10 year old Marshall bluetooth speaker with RCA inputs that I was using on my turntable that I've had for a while. I'm currently in the process of updating my setup and wanted to start with the speakers. I did quite some research on what would to buy and these came up over and over again. I really liked the idea of being able to control the volume via a remote and adjust the treble and bass (which were options I had on my Marshall that I didn't want to lose). These are excellent. The setup was fairly easy. I had a low hum coming from my turntable but it turns out that it was coming from the RCA extender I was using on my turntable. Once I plugged my turntable directly into the speaker it went away. The sound is crisp, it loud enough and as someone who primarily has R&B, hip-hop and reggae vinyls the audio quality is definitely STEPS above what I was experiencing before! Definitely would recommend getting these. They do recommend placing these on a stand so I bought the Kanto S6 titled stands for these since I didn't want them to take up too much space. ... show more

  • Good speakers with some caveats - see details below
Color: Walnut
I’m guessing many of you are looking around for speakers to go with a turntable, or like me, something for my desktop computer. I was a fairly active audiophile for quite a while and wanted to provide some real-world comparisons to a couple of what I believe are contenders in this range of speaker. I had an extended listening session today between The PeachTree M24’s (yes I know it is smaller), the Klipsch R-51PM, and the YU6. The first thing I noticed is the soundstage on the YU6 really beat everything else in terms of width and height. I did not have to toe the speakers in like I did with the other two. The tweeter puts out an aggressive sound compared to the same size tweeter on the Peachtree. The Peachtree is a little more balanced in that regard. The Klipsch are pretty much right in your face with what I would call a fatiguing treble. As I moved to the midrange, I was really surprised by a couple of things. The YU6 tended to put midrange things farther back in the soundstage, so it was not as pronounced as what I’m used to with the Peachtrees. I lost some of the detail out of instruments unless it strayed up into treble where it gained more detail than the Peachtrees. Klipsch had a very flat soundstage to me except the tweeter was really out in front of the soundstage. On to the mid-bass / bass. The YU6 has some funky mid-bass resonance that muddies it a bit. The bass can be a little more “boomy” than the Peachtrees I’m assuming because of the cabinet size difference. The Klipsch was definitely the most “boomy” and had even more resonance in the mid-bass, so I dismissed the Klipsch from the session. So, between the M24’s and the YU6, here are my conclusions. Keep in mind I’m about 4-5 feet from the speakers. 1. Midrange is a little recessed on the YU6. I like the Peachtree better there. 2. I get a lot more detail from the treble / tweeter on the YU6 without it being fatiguing. 3. The YU6 kills the M24 on soundstage in all directions and the change of what you hear is not as drastic when you move closer or farther away 4. The M24 had tighter bass to me but again, that may be because of the smaller cabinet and woofer. 5. The sub out works great on both – I have two 12” Bic F-12’s and they work great with both speakers although I’d say the F12’s are definitely a better HT subwoofer than a musical one. 6. Build quality on both are outstanding. 7. I like the larger sound and soundstage from the YU6 compared to the M24. I’m going to keep the YU6 on the desktop for now and let them break in well. I have the Peachtree M25’s coming so that will be a more fair comparison but I’m really curious if the M25’s can match the soundstage. And room filling capabilities of the YU6. Hope this helps someone that may be comparing these two speakers like I was. The YU 6 could be a really great speaker if they could knock out some of that cabinet resonance and push the mids a bit farther forward in the soundstage, but I rate these a solid 4/5. Thought I'd add to this a bit. I stepped back from a long listening session yesterday and thought about the things I heard on each speaker. I ended up putting the M24's back on my desktop. The thing that bugged me most about the Kanto was the cabinet resonance. It's just not there with the M24's. I still like the width, depth, and height of the soundstage with the Kanto but I'd say the Peachtree M24's are a more lively and balanced speaker. Another thing I noticed is that the sub out on the M24's drives the subs hotter, which I like because I can turn down the actual sub volume a bit. The M25's and now the YU4 from Kanto is on the way, so it should be fun to compare all of those. ... show more

  • Well worth the money.
Color: Matte Black
I was in the market to replace my old Edifiers and wanted something with a little more punch and clarity. I tried the Audioengine A5+'s and they sounded pretty good, but after about a week they developed a loud hissing noise from the left speaker. I contacted the company and they sent me another pair. The same noise developed in the new set after a few days. So, I just returned them and bought these. They were a bit more expensive (you can catch them on sale for about the same price as the A5's) but oh my gawd...the clarity and presence of these speakers is amazing!! I not an audiophile or anything of the sort, but I can tell you this, if you're on the fence about purchasing these, it's time to hop off the fence and buy these. You won't regret it. ... show more

  • Speakers worked for the first 2 months... now the left speaker with the amp has no sound!
Bought these speakers in January of 2024 and now March of 2024 the left speaker with the amp has no sound! Very frustrating and Kanto customer support has been slow to respond. I really enjoyed the speakers while they were working but this quality issue makes me skeptical of purchasing more Kanto powered products, may be better to stick with the passive units. Update: Kanto is sending me new speakers at no cost but going to have to go about 2 weeks without speakers and it cost me $47 to box up the old units at the UPS store. ... show more
