TUK

I haven't listened to the Kanto ORA4 and ORAM. I prefer the Kanto TUK over the Kantu Yu6. I would avoid the Edifiers as the 1700bt are less than 100usd where I'm at. Feels like a scam if you purchase it for more than 200usd.

OP is ignoring this so I'll answer. I have Bifrost/Jot2 with LS50 Metas driven by an Vidar. Paired with an SVS SB-2000Pro at my desk. Using a PC as my source running lossless through Roon (massive difference) I am super happy with this setup. I've been through a bunch of setups over the years from A

I have the impression I would find the LSX II too lacking, even with the understanding of how small it is. The LS50 II being the better keeper end game model. But spending that kind of money I really would find the nearest town/city where they had this on display to listen myself or just budget that

The TUKS sound amazing for the price and I can't imagine needing much more for a TV system (besides maybe adding a small subwoofer). The tech is a little outdated, but Kanto is planning on refreshing the TUK at some point and adding eARC and some other features, hopefully in 2026. If you can, I woul

I love the Kanto TUK speakers; I wanted one for my setup, but they were a tad too big, so I opted for the Ora 4 instead. With the savings, I got myself a Sub 8. The overall sound is very impressive, and comparable to my old KEF LSX (which sadly died). Anyway, this is a very very nice setup, specific

You're kind of trying to violate the laws of physics, which obviously isn't possible. You say you want good bass without a subwoofer (absolutely possible), but also want small speakers. You've got to give one of those up. Do keep in-mind that the performance of a set of speakers is extremely depende

Monoprice has the MM5R powered speaker pair with ribbon tweeter that sounds utterly fantastic with my Roland drums. About $500 - and I’m a crazy audiophile so definitely critical. There is a similar monitor for a few hundred more (Kanto Tuk) that is supposed to be better but that might be out of you

Finally someone who cares about their audio as much as the PC! I haven't heard the Elac Vela BS 403 speakers but have no doubt they're better than the overpriced KEF LS50 junk. The Vidar amp is on my short list for whatever I upgrade to next round. Currently using Kanto Tuk speakers which I absolute

It used to be the case that Class D amplification was a dirty word. As bizarre as it may sound, the problem was partly from Class D's strengths, the ability for a small and cool running amp to produce quite a chunk of power for very little cost. The issue was that certain segments of the audio indus

Get a pair of Kanto TUK powered speakers. Perfect for your space, and it'll be the best sound for that budget.
