Review: Sound amazing, straight out of the box! - So, I only got these Kanto YU6 yesterday and I know they need time to 'burn in', but they sounded so great out of the box, I wanted to put a short review up immediately. These replaced my much smaller Audioengine HD3s, and I agonised for ages whether to get the Audioengine HD6 or the Kanto YU6. In the end I went for the Kanto because a) they are somewhat cheaper and b) they are physically smaller - just 28cm tall vs 30cm which makes a slight difference in my room. The Audioengine speakers feature a Class A/B amplifier vs the Class D of the Kanto, but I decided that for my situation the difference was negligable. I was also attracted by the Kanto YU6 having an inbuilt phono pre-amp and a subwoofer connection, although lacking a USB input. So, I have set them up with my turnbable, and they sound really excellent - very detailed in the mid-range. I played 'There Goes Rhymin' Simon' on vinyl and was hearing details I haven't heard before - and I've owned that album from when it first came out! There are a couple of negatives though - although whether these are down to the Kanto or my other equipment I couldn't say. Firstly, using the built-in phono pre-amp, I couldn't get rid of the hum. (The pre-amp itself worked fine amplifying my Ortofon MM cartridge). Connecting the earth strap from the turntable reduced it somewhat, but it was still very noticeable. I reinstated by existing Rega pre-amp which has its own earth point and the hum has largely gone now - obviously, I have switched the YU6 to line input mode. The hum could be due to the equipment items being plugged into different mains power outlets, but it was fortunate I already had a pre-amp. Secondly, I couldn't get the sub-woofer to work from the outlet on the YU6 - just nothing. However, I used Y connectors on the RCA speaker inputs to the sub-woofer and now it's fine - together with the YU6 a really comprehensive soundscape from the upper limits of my hearing frequency down to the deepest base notes. I am also using the YU6 to listen to audio from my PC via Bluetooth, and that connected immediately and flawlessly and works fine. The YU6 remote control works well enough, although some of the buttons (eg for changing input source) are very tiny indeed. The combined input selector/volume knob on the YU6 speaker isn't that well implemented - you don't know which source you're connected to until you hear the sound from it, apart from BT when the blue indicator lamp comes on. I think they prioritised form over function - the single black knob looks cool, but some labels would be better! So, after one day, I am very happy - despite some niggles, these speakers sound great which is their main purpose. I'm not an expert or an audiophile, but I do like how these sound and they fit well into my room set-up as well.
Review: Awesome speakers, especially when paired with the sub! - So straight off, these are awesome little speakers. I'm not going to do an in-depth review of the sound since I'm not really qualified and you can find plenty of reviews of the sound on YouTube. Suffice to say they're punch, clear, have a decent amount of power, and sound great. There are a huge amount of inputs in the back - two optical (for a PC or your Sky Box for example), RCA phono/line (to connect a record deck, mixer, games console, or many other things), aux (generally used to connect a phone or audio player), and Bluetooth. You can switch between all of the inputs really easily with the remote, and you can connect two Bluetooth devices (although you can only play one at once). On the back there's also an output to a sub, which is highly recommended since as you can imagine the speakers are quite small so if you want to use these to watch movies or listen to loud music they don't quite have enough punch, although they do very very well by themselves and a sub is in no way essential. I bought the Kanto SUB8: https://amzn.to/2V7KEOD - it's super easy to connect and adds an immense amount of bass to the setup. In terms of stands, the speakers come with some horrible little "feet" which are basically stickers and completely useless. Unfortunately it's hard to get the official Kanto stands in the UK, but I bought some of the SoundXtra stands and they're amazing, plus fit the speakers perfectly: https://amzn.to/2vaRVPa Basically these speakers look amazing wherever you put them, they're very minimal but solidly built and very stylish, so they don't stand out too much if you want them to blend in, but look awesome if you give them room to shine. There are enough connections to be able to literally connect everything you own, and for the price point you'll be hard pressed to find a better sound.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these fill a medium-size room from optical out on tv? as tv speakers?**
A: It'll shake the rafters in a 20'x20' room if you let it. I can hear them comfortably in every corner of my 2000 sq ft single-level home.

**Q: I am getting these Kanto yu6 speakers for my desktop pc, can i just use an optical cable from my motherboard to the speaker instead of rca?**
A: Dorian,Definitely use optical if your motherboard supports it. Digital connections are not susceptible to interference / noise which is very common when using the analog outputs of on-board audio. Feel free to contact us directly using the support button on our website if you have any additional questions, thanks.

**Q: Has anyone tried a vintage turntable with these speakers yet>  thanks**
A: The amp does a decent job with my turntable - you'll need to play with the volume and balance a little to get it where you like it, but it works well.

**Q: Why are there no professional reviews out on the internet web?**
A: https://www.audioadvice.com/content/2017/07/21/kanto-yu2-yu4-yu6-speaker-comparison/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***E on 14 March 2023*

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.
