    Customers like the sound quality of the speakers. They say the sound is excellent, more than loud enough for any usage, and crisp in both sound and style. The tweeter puts out an aggressive sound, and the small amplified speakers are great. The high-end vocals are great, and they handle anything from electronic to.

    "...I tried the Audioengine A5+'s and they sounded pretty good, but after about a week they developed a loud hissing noise from the left speaker...." Read more

    Increíbles altavoces de estantería!

    Increíbles altavoces de estantería!
    Agradable sistema de sonido, Parlantes, altavoces, bocinas! como quieras llamarles en tu país.Los Kanto YU6 son un increíble par, su sonido me encantó y me dejó sorprendido, el sonido es muy rico. Tal vez por que venía de unos humildes logitech z506 amplificados con una Tarjeta de Audio Soundblaster AudigyFX en mi computadora de escritorio, siempre sentí que se ahogaban demasiado en los bajos y a veces estaba tan alterado el sonido que me dejó de gustar, en particular por que uso unos buenos audífonos Sennheiser para gaming entonces no desconocía del buen sonido pero quería algo con más presencia y adquirí estos.Tienen su propio amplificador, control de bajo, Treble que manejas desde el control remoto;hablando del control remoto de los KANTOYU6, me parece un buen control pero la recepción es pésima, tienes que apuntar siempre directamente a un foco en las bocinas si no, no funciona este.El Bluetooth, no es una opción que utilizare yo pero es bueno contar con esa opción por el costo de las mismas, sin embargo usándolo con el teléfono tiene un rango muy limitado y tengo un teléfono relativamente actual un (POCO X3 de Xiaomi) y de unos cuantos pies ya se pierde la calidad y se comienza a cortar, es una pesadilla.Las entradas AUX, RCA, y 2 Ópticos, te harán la vida más sencillas si tienes uno o dos más dispositivos en la sala o estudio, yo los tengo conectados a una tarjeta de audio EVGA Nu Audio por RCA, y se escucha increíble le da un PUNCH EXTRA Fuera de este mundo! de por si la tarjeta de EVGA Nu audio es de grado audiófilo y tiene demasiadas caracterizaras cuenta con 32bits de resolución, DSDy más, es una maravilla usarlo junto a los KANTO YU6.Los ópticos los puedes conectar a dos consolas o a una televisión y tendrás un excelente sonido para sacar partido de tu experiencia de Streaming en servicios como Prime, Disney+, etc.Con el mismo control puedes hacer un Switching de interfaces para pasar de escuchar tu computadora por RCA, a pasar a escuchar la televisión por TOSLINK (optico) y todavía tienes opciones de phono y AUX de 3.55mm. Físicamente son un par muy pesados de más de 5KG cada uno, pero por algo es no?Tendrás que ver bien el espacio que tengas en tu escritorio o sala de estar por que si son considerablemente grandes. Si no quieres algo tan pesado con casi las mismas características que estos, ve por los YU4.Si eres de México también y lees esto, intenta encontrarlos en un buen lugar, por que vaya que es caro importarlos a México desde Amazon, pase de pagar poco más de 10,000 Pesos Mexicanos a casi 13,000 pesos! por depósitos de importación. No ganamos como gringos y pagamos más caros sus productos, que injusto pero bueno, si te sobra el dinero compralos.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy investment!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2021
    Disclaimer: I am not a sound engineer or an audiophile.

    I use these Kanto YU6 for gaming/music/podcasts.

    I've had them for 8 months and I've been nothing but pleased with the quality of the sound, build, and overall aesthetic. I was looking to upgrade from my old Logitech setup (which I had been using for 15 years) and wanted to find something that delivered great sound and looked great while doing it.

    The highs, mids and lows have enough separation that I've been discovering "new" sounds in games/songs/albums that I've listened to for years.

    The treble can have a marginally tinny sound if it's pushed too far but the issue is easily resolved with some level adjusting. Once adjusted it perfectly compliments the mids and lows.

    The midrange sits where it should be and delivers clean and crisp audio.

    The bass from these speakers is good enough but they really should be paired with a sub. I went with the Kanto 8 and it sounds fantastic! (adjust the crossover to find that optimal sweet spot where the bass is warm and punchy and folds right into the soundscape)

    These speakers deliver a clean and beautiful sound. Would recommend!
