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

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!

Yeah, I had the same feeling with the Edifiers, especially the mids. They have that classic V-shape tuning: boosted bass and highs, recessed mids.

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 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

At this price point I'd say to go with the biggest woofers, so I'd buy Magnat, Polk, Edifer in that order. I can't help you with the amps. Sorry. Personally, I'd skip all that and just buy these 👇🏻 I think it's a killer deal on good speakers that fit everything you're trying to do: https://www.bestbu

Currently using Kanto Yu6 for about a year with my 1210MK2. For me and my needs it’s enough since there’s no possibility to just sit and listen to music in some private audiophile space. Personally I like how my combination sounds especially compared with my previous “dumb” setup - Sony PS-LX310 + s
