Clear powerful sound with lots of bass

I'm by no means a music lover, but I can say that these speakers have enough power to deliver smooth and clear sound in a 15x15 living room. I love the glossy white look that matches the bookshelf they sit on. Doesn't look cheap. An understated look as long as the color matches the surroundings. Lots of connectors and preamps that work with my turntable. One thing though: I can only get most of the player out of the left speaker. maybe i'm doing something wrong? I'm still giving 5 stars because

  • Hands-free

  • Doubtful

Amazing speakers and comparison with Klipsch R-15PM

Great speakers! Not only do they look great, they also impress. I received the Klipsch R-15PM speakers before purchasing this pair so I had a chance to compare them and decided to return the Klipsch immediately. Start with. Bluetooth range is much better with Kanto YU6. Also, I use them to connect my turntable and with Klipsch I had a horrible hum all the time, even at low volume (I also used the ground plug in the turntable), it was just annoying; With the Kanto YU6, there is no buzzingโ€ฆ

  • Price

  • The list will be long.

Speakers, great electronics, disappointing sound quality

These speakers have every chance of being great. Output power, variety of inputs (2 optical!), easy setup. But the performance is just below the socket. You are loud enough. But the sound is incredibly muddy. There is almost no separation between the instruments, and the factory levels sound so far off that it just sounds bad. To get anything even remotely balanced, I had to crank the bass all the way up and boost the treble by 2 clicks (out of 7). I tested YU6 in different genres. I used highโ€ฆ

  • GOLS certified

  • Hard to say

Clear sound, beautiful looks

We were looking for an attractive speaker set for our family TV with great sound and they fit the bill. My TV speakers were average and we tried an inexpensive soundbar, but it took up too much space and the sound wasn't great. We needed an upgrade and there's no substitute for good speakers with good stereo separation. We also looked for a way to minimize the number of cables (they can't be buried in the wall here) and with this setup we have - 1 cable to connect the left speaker to the rightโ€ฆ

I'm not an audiophile but I like the clean sound.

I'm not a music lover. However, I like to find good headphones/speakers. I also have a sound card in my computer. My previous speakers were the Bose Companion 2 Series 3 which I thought sounded pretty good, they just didn't sound loud enough. After looking around for an upgrade and returning the Logitech Z625, I saw many recommendations for these speakers as a budget audiophile option. During the initial setup, I was amazed at the sound quality without the need for a subwoofer for all types ofโ€ฆ

  • Best in its niche

So close. - Portable speakers and docking stations

I don't particularly enjoy buying audio products online. Unfortunately, my ability to try out the speakers in the store is very limited. I trust these speakers and while they are very, very good for the price, they just fell short of my expectations. The construction and workmanship of the loudspeakers are striking. They are durable, have a perfect color and look great on almost all types of furniture. The available connection options are also quite good. The built-in phono stage, while notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Clean sound clean looks

I bought these based on other YouTube reviews and various websites and I'm glad I did. I bought a PreSonus eris e5 xt but they had terrible hum and hiss so I needed something with fewer problems but good sound. I really wanted a studio monitor, but after a lot of research I decided on the YU6 and Sub6. They look good but I'm more worried about the sound so I'll cover that in the review. During that first hour of playing the YU6 there was a little distortion in the high frequencies, even withโ€ฆ

  • Weight
