YU6

Thank you for this!! This sub is so rough in new comers. I started with an AT-LP60 and some edifier speakers bundled together from TTL and I was SO happy. Fast forward 3 years and I decided to give those things to my Nephew who was itching to get in to this too. I didn’t have tons of money to spend

You'll need studio monitors, not bookshelf speakers like the Kanto YU6. Bookshelf speakers are designed to sound good, for consumers. Studio monitors are designed to sound accurate, for producers.

Speakers: What are your room dimensions? Compact Kanto YU4 have small 4" mid bass drivers for a small room or desk and are a good price for $250 in the bundle with the $600 turntable for starter speakers and then later upgrade to $600+ speakers up to or past the quality level of the $600 turntable.

I looked into the Kanto TUK when I was getting the YU6 and there were too many negative opinions on the high end 'brightness' essentially saying it would start to be painful... so I just got the YU6 as a stop gap whilst I found some R3's (there was no way I was going to pay anywhere near retail on R

Get a pair of Kanto YU6 with a built in phono stage. No need for the Fosi. A great sounding, simple solution. Plus Kanto is a Canadian company!

I get why it sells, but for me, the vocals never sounded truly alive, like they were slightly hollow or coming through something. I spent a lot of time t

Hey man! Funny story. Back then I was recommending people check out Kanto YU6 (and a few others like Audioengine A5+, Fluance Ai81, Vanatoo) as the next step up, but I couldn’t resist and ended up buying the YU6 myself (black). And damn, after getting everything hooked up properly, this 2.1 system w

I have Kanto YU6 for my computer. The KEF's are night and day better than the Kanto's... The Kanto's play louder but the clarity is just not there.. KEF all the way and yes a no brainer versus the LSX 2

I had the R1700BTs to try...boxed them right back. The Kanto YU was so much better if I was going active 4". The Kanto YU6 would be really dandy I bet, add a sub of choice, Kanto's or another small one like a Polk and would sound really delightful in the correct sized [smaller] room. Natually upgrad

Neither. :) Fluance turntables are a great value. Fluance speakers, however, are one step up from trash. The Pro-Ject isn't bad (though I personally would take a Fluance RT85 over a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO), but it seriously outclasses those Kanto YU4. If you're going for powered speakers, I would
