Same family: the Kanto YU4 G2 (smaller bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 3.6/5), the Kanto YU6 G2 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.9/5) and the Kanto TUK Grand G2 (larger bookshelf, estimated 3.9/5). See every Kanto YU and Tuk generation.
Pros: A desk or living room pair with solid bass for its size, optical, USB-C, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth and a subwoofer output. Bass reaches about 52Hz at -3dB and 42Hz at -10dB in Erin’s measurements, legitimate extension from a 5.25-inch woofer. The predicted in-room response is fairly even from the upper bass through the treble, which lifts its preference score to about 4.6 on its own and 6.7 with an ideal subwoofer. Connections cover most desk and living room sources: optical, two RCA inputs, USB-C from a computer and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive, plus a subwoofer output with an 80Hz low-pass, a remote and a USB charging port. Measured bass extension of 52Hz (-3dB).
Cons: On-axis response is uneven, with elevated upper bass around 80 to 100Hz, a forward midrange near 800Hz to 1.5kHz and further ripples through the treble. Horizontal dispersion widens abruptly around 2 to 2.5kHz before narrowing again, and the vertical listening window is narrow, so keep the AMT tweeter near ear height. Compression grows at 96dB and becomes severe near 102dB, with distortion rising sharply at high levels, so it sounds best as a nearfield or small room speaker at moderate volume.
