Brand: Kanto
#92 Kanto YU6 G2: $549.99 per pair Upcoming
Older model: the Kanto YU6 (rated 3.9/5). See every Kanto YU and Tuk generation.
Same family: the Kanto YU4 G2 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.6/5), the Kanto Tuk G2 (larger bookshelf, rated 3.9/5) and the Kanto TUK Grand G2 (larger bookshelf, ranked lower, estimated 3.9/5).
Pros: A powered bookshelf pair for turntables, TVs and computers, with a phono preamp, optical, USB-C, Bluetooth and a subwoofer output. The second generation YU6 swaps the Kevlar woofers for 5.25” abaca paper cone woofers alongside 1” silk dome tweeters, and raises amplifier power to 130W RMS (200W peak) from the original’s 100W RMS. 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 YU6, which ASR measured. Its rated response starts at 55Hz, against 50Hz for the original Kanto YU6, so a subwoofer still helps for deep bass. Kanto doesn’t publish sensitivity or maximum output.
