If you check my list of the best turntables from 2019, you’ll notice that most of them have their own built-in pre-amplifier. Unlike Kanto’s YU4 speakers, the YUs lack a built-in PHONO amplifier, so does that mean these speakers can’t be used with a turntable?įar from it. One of the reasons for the popularity of powered speakers is their suitability for use with turntables for a compact vinyl listening system. What About Using These Speakers With a Turntable? If you want to improve the sound further, you can put the YUs on speaker stands for better midrange, and even plug in a subwoofer to boost the low end. With the included remote, you can also tweak the bass and treble to your liking.

Put it all together, and for the price of a decent Bluetooth speaker, you get room-filling true stereo sound with a wide soundstage, smooth high frequency response and bass with a bit of muscle.

Remember that with the built-in Bluetooth connectivity, these offer the same streaming audio capability as a portable speaker - they just lack the “portable” element. Kano YU speakers offer Bluetooth 4.2 and RCA input, include a subwoofer output. The Class D amplifier also has far more power than you’ll find in most portable speakers.

And instead of the full-range drivers found in many portable speakers, these have woofers and tweeters. That always sounds superior to even high end simulated stereo. They deliver true stereo audio, for starters. When you compare them to a portable Bluetooth speaker in the same price range, the Kanto YU performance and value proposition is even bigger. However, the Kanto YU speakers delivered an impressive listening experience. Hands-On With Kanto’s YU Powered SpeakersĪ pair of powered speakers - especially ones that costs around $250 - are not going to match the performance of a good set of bookshelf speakers and an amplifier.

You can cut the cables shorter to avoid excess, or go with a longer length by buying more cable from any stereo outlet or Amazon. It takes slightly more effort to insert the cables into the posts and tighten them, but the advantage is that you can use any speaker wire you want. Instead, the YU’s are connected by standard speaker wire that connects to speaker posts (Kanto includes 16 feet of wire in the box). They feature 1/8' and USB inputs for simple connectivity to your desktop or laptop computer, or other compatible audio source. Some powered speaker systems use proprietary cables that offer plug-and-play convenience. Enjoy enhanced audio quality from your computer with this pair of matte black Kanto Living YU2 Powered Desktop Speakers. Plug in the power cable - there’s no bulky brick to worry about.
