About this deal

The logical first step was to play the CDs from which some of the abovementioned titles were ripped. VINYL-READY - Equipped with an integrated phono preamp, YU6 can be easily connected to any vintage or modern day turntable. Its built-in phono preamp lets you hook up and spin music from your vintage or modern turntable so you can sit back and enjoy all your favourite vinyl records with the flick of a switch. That would be no surprise, as the Oppo originally cost twice as much, and the analog-out DAC was that Special Edition’s key feature.

Elevate your listening experience to new heights with the Kanto YU6 Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Bluetooth® and Phono Preamp. Obviously, you probably will not need to worry about this scenario, but it is great to see the range on the YU6. Also in the box are some rubber feet - you can either affix them or leave them in the box and use the threaded connectors if you plan to bolt the YU6 to a speaker/tripod mount.

The top-end is smooth and highly refined in the default setting, but you can add more edge should that be your preference. Featuring a sealed-box design, their adjustable low-pass crossover and phase controls allow them to be shaped to match the unique characteristics of your room. While it does become less of a centerpiece with this color, I do not think speakers really need to be the center of attention, especially as the sound it emits matter more than its looks. I was happy before, but now I'm on cloud nine, wonderful overall sound quality, after some adjustment the bass sound is entirely natural but more pronounced on varied music genres (jazz, pop, rock, folk, classical etc), and when I'm in a mind to, I push up the bass on a rap track to vibrate the house a bit. But Bluetooth transmission requires lots of compression, and if the original material is already compressed, then it gets compressed again, and the artifacts of both compression methods interact.

Instead, it is appropriately present and well-balanced between 5-6KHz so strings and cymbals have plenty of attack without coming across as sharp. On the latter front, it goes way past what professional monitors provide with such niceties as remote control. But that is, in effect, my mistake: the setup of the Yu6 is on me and for that matter, I recommend having these speakers set up in a more open environment as part of a home entertainment system in the family lounge, right next to that big screen TV.

You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The YU6 impresses with its versatility enabled by a balanced yet customisable sound with excellent vocal intelligibility and flexible design and connectivity.

Compensating for low frequency shortfalls with EQ based on anechoic measurements is tricky as the room interferes. Once we have fully tested the item and confirmed the fault, we will process the refund or exchange including cost of carriage back to us (within reason). As a pure Bluetooth device it occasionally finds itself a little outclassed, but if you can hunt down a Chromecast Audio before they vanish or budget for something like Yamaha’s excellent WXAD-10, it has the ability and scope to be a very enjoyable device indeed.

My first Ae pair were powered (P4) but the usb port had some kind of electrical problem so had to get the passive P4. Once again, just being able to hear the whole range of pitches – from the highs to the lows – tells me that these speakers are definitely a step above or, in another way, in a class of their own. From your date of purchase your product is warranted against faulty materials or workmanship for a period of 24 months. Then we have a standard volume up and volume down in addition to individual settings for bass and treble.

The Kanto YU6 has spent most of its time with me sat plugged into my office system and its clean, modern design suits this well.On another matter, the Yu6 are clearly not the kind of speakers I would want to place on my desktop, unlike the Yu2. SIGNAL DETECTION: Automatic standby and power-up mode conserves power when you’re away and continues playback when your music starts playing. Premium Sound Quality: Designed with Kevlar drivers and Silk Dome tweeters to deliver an immersive audio experience.
