Kanto YU Passive 6"

"The YU Passive 5.25” presents a wider soundstage with more separation in the stereo image — however, some of that great “in-your-face” mid-range that really glued the dynamics together opened up a little bit more and the music sounded just a little bit closer to the experience of a live concert. In particular, we could feel more of the rhythm and pacing coming from the electric bass guitar and the bottom-end weight, overall, just came a little bit more alive on the YU Passive 5.25”."

"Being the larger model in the series, YU Passive 5.25” is the better bookshelf option if you have space and want to enhance your TV’s sound with louder output, deeper bass, and better stereo separation and dynamics. We immediately noticed the larger woofer reproducing a more immersive low-end experience — especially during movies. When connected to a stereo amplifier, the wider dynamic range of the YU Passive 5.25” will sound better in a larger room." - Audio Advice

Pair Kanto YU Passive 5.25” bookshelf speakers with an amplifier of your choice and enjoy your favorite tunes the way the artist intended.
