Brand: Kanto
#64 Kanto YU4 G2: $449.99 per pair Upcoming
Older model: the Kanto YU4 (rated 3.3/5). See every Kanto YU and Tuk generation.
Same family: the Kanto YU6 G2 (larger bookshelf, estimated 3.9/5), the Kanto Tuk G2 (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, rated 3.9/5) and the Kanto TUK Grand G2 (larger bookshelf, estimated 3.9/5).
Pros: An upcoming powered pair with a phono preamp, optical, USB-C and Bluetooth inputs, a subwoofer output and a phone charging port. The second generation YU4 swaps the Kevlar woofers for 4” abaca paper cone woofers alongside 1” silk dome tweeters, and raises amplifier power to 110W RMS (160W peak) from the original’s 70W. Inputs cover RCA with a switchable phono preamp, optical and USB-C audio at 24 bit/96kHz, 3.5mm aux and Bluetooth 5.3 with AAC. A subwoofer output engages an automatic 80Hz crossover, and a USB-C port charges a phone. Includes a remote, speaker wire and swappable left and right channels.
Cons: Not on sale yet: Kanto lists it as coming soon. No independent measurements have been published, so it can’t be compared with the original Kanto YU4, which ASR measured, and its 60Hz to 22kHz rated response means a subwoofer is still needed for deep bass. Kanto doesn’t publish sensitivity or maximum output.
