Don’t let this Sub Scare you from Getting Started

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

Szeretnék venni egy jó hangzású hangszórót, 150-200 e között?

Kanto yu6 egész jó, aktív hangfal radaasul. De az edifier felhozatala sem rossz ebben az árkategóriában. Klipsch is adja, ahhoz + erősítő is kell.

Is a preamp worth it for my setup?

u/Document_8 - I got a Kanto SUB8 subwoofer for $250 (holiday sale) a few weeks ago. It pairs perfectly with your YU6 from Kanto, with a simple sub-out cable that it comes with. Would probably enjoy it a lot!

Better Bundle for a 1st time buyer?

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.

KC62 vs. LS50W2

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

Sound System Help - RT82

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!

Brand new to this world - gifted to me by a neighbor and need help with the setup!

Very nice deck! Kanto YU6: that way don’t have to get a separate phono stage preamp. But if that’s not in your budget and you have to settle for Edifiers, you’ll still need a separate phono stage preamp like a Fosi X2 or X5.

Edifier R1855DB + T5: Over 40 Days, Money Lost, and Trust Destroyed (#101306)

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. 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

Edifier R1855DB + T5: Over 40 Days, Money Lost, and Trust Destroyed (#101306)

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

best affordable preamp

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
