YU6

I recently picked up the Kanto YU6MB Powered Bookshelf Speakers for my home office, and after several months of daily use, I can confidently say they deliver an exceptional listening experience with one important caveat. Sound Quality (5/5) These speakers sound incredible. The clarity at mid-range, the warmth in vocals, and the tight, articulate bass far exceed what you d expect from a pair of desktop speakers. Whether I'm on calls, listening to music while working, or watching videos, the audio is consistently rich, balanced, and distortion-free. Even at lower volumes the detail is impressive, and when you decide to push them, they have plenty of headroom. Build & Aesthetics (5/5) I bought the Matte Black (MB) version, and the finish is sleek, modern, and premium. The build feels solid exactly what you d expect from Kanto. The controls have a quality feel, and the overall design fits beautifully in a home office setup. Connectivity (5/5) I primarily use them in wired setup with my computer which works fantastic, Bluetooth is fast and reliable, and the range is excellent and they pair instantly with my Mac and iPhone. The multiple input options make them extremely versatile if you want to use them beyond a desk setup. Desk Use The Only Real Drawback (4/5) Here s the thing: these speakers are big. Not sort of big, but actually bookshelf-size speakers. I have them sitting on my home office desk, and while the sound is phenomenal, their physical footprint is definitely something to consider. If your desk is spacious or deep, you ll be fine they look great and sound even better when given room to breathe. But on a standard-sized desk, they can feel oversized and may dominate your workspace. Verdict If you have the space, the Kanto YU6MB is absolutely worth it. These speakers offer truly premium sound quality, beautiful build, and reliable connectivity. Just be mindful of their size before committing to them for desktop use.

Just received and installed these on built in bookshelves, replacing 20 year old speakers. Short summary: SUMMARY: It’s early days, but so far, I like how they sound, and I think they’re good value for the money. TIMING: Received within 3 days of ordering PACKAGING: Package was in good shape when delivered. Amazon sends them in the “box-within-a-box” set up. INSTALLATION: Left speaker is the “smart” one, right is the “dumb” one. All power and audio signals go directly into the left speaker. That means you need to run speaker cable from the left to the right to activate the right speaker. SOUND: Always subjective, but to me, highs are reasonably bright when treble is turned all the way up (controlled by the remote that is included). Lows are somewhat lacking, but understandable given the woofer size. For the size of the room in which I installed these, a subwoofer (8” Kento) was a must. Note: The left speaker also includes the subwoofer out RCA jack. The mono RCA cable included with the Kento subwoofer is about 16’ long. I needed a greater length than that, so ordered a 20’ cable separately. APPEARENCE: Again, subjective, but I like the clean, simple look of the matte white cabinet. Rounded edges are a nice touch. And, the lack of screen over both the tweeter and woofer looks good to my eye. Overall, the speaker doesn’t appear to be “trying too hard” to look cool. USE: I’m using these primarily for TV audio. Thus, I have an optical cable running from the TV directly to the left “smart” speaker using the “OPT 1” jack. The remote control allows you to choose where the audio source is coming from: Optical 1, Optical 2, RCA, AUX, Bluetooth. Of course, with the TV off, you can still turn the speakers on, select “Bluetooth” on the remote, and pair them with Bluetooth devices. The speakers show up quickly on your Bluetooth device list.

Pros: - Awesome sound quality - The bigger speakers (compared to my Kanto 2s) produce plenty of sound Cons - They don't attach to the stands I have.

Sono casse di qualità per ciò per cui sono state pensate. Esteticamente sono belle, il sound è corposo, presente su bassi e alti che si possono anche regolare da remoto con comodità. Purtroppo occorre affidarsi all'orecchio per capire i giusti parametri perché non esistono riferimenti su display. Sono molto potenti quindi occhio a come regolare i volumi, anche se le casse sono eccellenti anche a bassi regimi. Per ora sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto ma non lo sono per niente per quanto riguarda la spedizione in ritardo ingiustificato, considerato il servizio prime. Il servizio clienti Amazon è stato gentile come sempre. Casse pagate in offerta ma valgono anche il prezzo pieno. Diciamo che per ambienti contenuti questa soluzione di casse attive è più che valida, anche perché ci sono meno cavi. Il bluetooth poi è una gran comodità con latenza praticamente nulla. Kanto è inferiore solo a Kef, marchio all'avanguardia su questa tipologia di casse.

Ok, so I was in the market for a new set up but wanted this one to fit in with my decor which is vintage hipster. Something that I could have in the background projecting all the vinyl goodness from its tweeters for the listening pleasure of my weekend late afternoon patio parties. I've been trying to think of something to say to talk about the color but I will leave that to rock icon Nigel Tufnel who said“There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.” though you could also get them in different colors but then I wouldn't be able to use that quote. Setup was easier than getting my labrador to eat the the last of my submarine sandwich. As these speakers have their own phono amplifier, the RCA wires from you manual analog turntable slip easily in their red and white receptacles on back of one of these bad boys. There are speaker terminals to connect the two speakers and give you discreet lush sound. It looks great in your vintage set up and for you young folks living in a small place, it's space saving since you lose the need for a bulky amplifier clutter up the very particular Dutch aesthetic of your listening area. What more is there to say but they are well constructed, look fantastic, are space saving, give good bang for their buck and can fit into wherever you choose to listen to your record player. These would be perfect for the kids in dorms who want to impress their girlfriends with their small but "elite" collection of essential artists. Then you grandly move on to show the true centrepiece of the setup, the turntable which you have carefully curated from hours of searching junk shops and good will stores to find the ":best deal ever". You will have this turntable until you get your first job out of school and then you will upgrade to a ridiculously overpriced top of the line beauty that you will play "Tender" by Blur on when trying to seduce a young lady in your building. The point is, these speakers will be the same as you go from girlfriend to girlfriend (or either gender combination you like), and turntable to the latest, greatest and most importantly coolest, speakers. They are built to last and you will remember them many years later when you try looking for the same kind of speakers because you NEEDED to have that vintage Marantz tube receiver to hear music at it's purest and why not get vintage speakers now since these poor speakers, that has served you a decade, are being thrown away for the latest toy. Shame on you. Anyway, I don't see any reason why it would fall apart unless you plan on bringing them camping and then I would say your experience may differ from mine. They'll probably last you years giving you great sound and looking sleek on the bookshelf. You may have nieces come over to give your brother and his wife a break for the weekend and she may want to play something on her iPhone and she can easily connect her phone to the speakers via Bluetooth and she can control the sound with the remote control that comes with the speakers. Should you want to hook up a subwoofer, it has output for it as well as other inputs such as Aux, Optical & a handing USB charging port for your iPhone making the top of the speakers a convenient location to store it. Ah, the possibilities for pictures of your phone, speakers and iPhone on social media with some deep comment about technology from different millennia working together. I'm not doing any of that though. You can but it does fit into my mid century modern decor and compliments my funky Pro-Ject elemental (review coming soon) with a nice clean honest sound. I love the fact that I didn't have to get a new receiver as that Marantz was looking nice and the modern touches of Bluetooth and a remote control are quite excellent. I don't know of any apps. They may have one, but I haven't looked so not quite sure how you would go about controlling the volume if you lose the remote or it breaks or you labrador puppy chews on it. That could be a problem later on and I should probably look into it. Still, I treat my audio equipment as that equipment that your cool uncle had and weren't allowed near when you visited your cousin on the weekend, then warned the whole time about how serious they were about not going near my uncle's turntable. So, I'm not dropping it anytime soon and I still have the original packaging to transfer them securely if they have to be moved again The TL/DR of that ridiculous wall of text are that these are great speakers., Get them for anyone interested in getting into turntables and vinyl records so they don't have to have the added cost of a phono pre-amp or receiver/amplifier with pre-amp. Not only does it save cost, it saves space and it gives great sound for their size and their cost and the added convenience of having Bluetooth connectivity to play audio from your phone, Has a basic remote but it does what it should and big problem is I'm not aware of how to control volume without the remote playing a turntable. Could be, I'm not aware though. Very happy purchase.

Aun siendo para estudio. Yo los tengo colgados en el ático y suenan genial. Buena conectividad.

Gute Box incl.der Verarbeitung...schnelle Lieferung! Bin sehr zufrieden

Nach langem Suchen und Testem habe ich endlich die besten Desktop Lautsprecher gefunden. Sie sind zwar etwas größer, aber auf den entsprechenden Ständern in 6" sehen sie sehr schick aus. So einen klaren Sound hatte ich noch nie geholt. Sie haben wirklich ausreichend Bass, obwohl Kanto dazu noch den 8" Wubwoofer empfiehlt. Damit hört es sich dann wie eine Anlage mit Riesen Standboxen an. Was besonders positiv auffiehl, dass analoger Cinch Signal vom Notebook sehr sauber übertragen und durch den eingebauten Verstärker so wiedergeben wird, wie man es nur mit dem optischen Ausgang kennt. Habe es auch mit der externen Soundkarte von Creative über den optischen probiert zum Vergleich, da die Notebooks den optischen digitalen Ausgang nicht haben. Somit machen diese Boxen den Einsatz einer zusätzlichen Soundkarte überflüssig. Ich hatte am Anfang den USB Eingang vermisst, weil befürchtet habe, dass die Notebook Soundkarte nicht ausreichen wird, wie z.b. bei Nubert. Aber wie gesagt, die Qualität der Kanto Boxen gleicht es sehr gut aus. Die sind grösser als auf dem Foto. Aber ich habe mich echt in sie verliebt - das Aussehen, Anspassung an jede Quelle, ob Techno, Klassik oder Konzert, aber auch Yotove Stream, wo Sprache zu Geltung kommt und wo zu viel Bass überflüssig ist. Anscheinend gibts automatische Stimmerkennung. Wie auch bei den Filmen. Von mir wärmste Empfehlung. Hatte zuerst die ORB4, aber das ist meiner Meinung nach eine Fehlentwicklung.
