What does your setup include/why?

You’ll know what you need as time goes on, you should really only get what you need. But with that said I think speakers might be your biggest upgrade, I used to wear my nova pros all day and although they were wireless I still found them annoying to be on my head all day. I got some speakers this p

Am I crazy for preferring these Kanto YU powered bookshelf speakers over my Martin Logan motion 4i's?

I love my Kanto speakers too! I recently upgraded my living room from Kanto TUK to Martin Logan XT B100, and honestly I prefer the sound of the TUK. I just wish Kanto made a louder TUK. I have the Kanto yu2 as desktops and those are nice too.

It is done!

If you want boomy bass, video game immersionEdifier MR4 is a good entry level speakers.Kanto Ora / Yu2 or Audioengine A2 if you want something more premium. If you want accurate sound with a small foot printIloud micro or Adam Audio offers pretty small but accurate sounding speakers.

200€ best speaker +subwoofer

I’m bit of a subwoofer snob, and so I don’t think that there would be any subwoofers in Europe anywhere close to your budget. (My personal opinion on a subwoofer is that it should get pretty close to 20Hz for it to qualify as a real subwoofer. And those kinds of products sadly aren’t cheap. In Europ

Do you use a DAC with your pc audio output?

As other people are suggesting, an upgrade to your speakers may be better. I have used Kanto YU2 in the past, they do other speakers as well. You will need a sub to go with those though as they don't have a lot of low end, but they are small.

2026 Battlestation Update

Ah very nice! I was eyeballing the Kanto YU2's with the SUB8 for a while, mainly because they had a walnut option. I never see them in stock anymore so I figured they've been replaced with the Ora series?

How do you like the PreSonus Eris Sub 8BT subwoofer?

Hey how are you liking the PreSonus Eris Sub 8BT? Looks like it's back down to $180 and I'm considering an order. It would solve 2 shortcomings of my Kanto YU2 speakers, which sound great to my ears but lack Bluetooth and a high pass filter.

Kanto Sp26 stands recommended?

They are decent steel stands but the top plates are a bit flimsy because they are designed to mount directly to the Kanto YU2 series of speakers some the regular top plate wobbles a bit. They'll work no problem but there's probably a better 26" stand out there for a similar price.

New Setup Complete!

https://a.co/d/06mDU0W Kanto YU2 speakers. Got them for 169 used on eBay but they are awesome. Def wait for them to go on sale cause they are pricey. I wish I went with the black ones instead honestly.
