Review: Sound amazing, straight out of the box! - So, I only got these Kanto YU6 yesterday and I know they need time to 'burn in', but they sounded so great out of the box, I wanted to put a short review up immediately. These replaced my much smaller Audioengine HD3s, and I agonised for ages whether to get the Audioengine HD6 or the Kanto YU6. In the end I went for the Kanto because a) they are somewhat cheaper and b) they are physically smaller - just 28cm tall vs 30cm which makes a slight difference in my room. The Audioengine speakers feature a Class A/B amplifier vs the Class D of the Kanto, but I decided that for my situation the difference was negligable. I was also attracted by the Kanto YU6 having an inbuilt phono pre-amp and a subwoofer connection, although lacking a USB input. So, I have set them up with my turnbable, and they sound really excellent - very detailed in the mid-range. I played 'There Goes Rhymin' Simon' on vinyl and was hearing details I haven't heard before - and I've owned that album from when it first came out! There are a couple of negatives though - although whether these are down to the Kanto or my other equipment I couldn't say. Firstly, using the built-in phono pre-amp, I couldn't get rid of the hum. (The pre-amp itself worked fine amplifying my Ortofon MM cartridge). Connecting the earth strap from the turntable reduced it somewhat, but it was still very noticeable. I reinstated by existing Rega pre-amp which has its own earth point and the hum has largely gone now - obviously, I have switched the YU6 to line input mode. The hum could be due to the equipment items being plugged into different mains power outlets, but it was fortunate I already had a pre-amp. Secondly, I couldn't get the sub-woofer to work from the outlet on the YU6 - just nothing. However, I used Y connectors on the RCA speaker inputs to the sub-woofer and now it's fine - together with the YU6 a really comprehensive soundscape from the upper limits of my hearing frequency down to the deepest base notes. I am also using the YU6 to listen to audio from my PC via Bluetooth, and that connected immediately and flawlessly and works fine. The YU6 remote control works well enough, although some of the buttons (eg for changing input source) are very tiny indeed. The combined input selector/volume knob on the YU6 speaker isn't that well implemented - you don't know which source you're connected to until you hear the sound from it, apart from BT when the blue indicator lamp comes on. I think they prioritised form over function - the single black knob looks cool, but some labels would be better! So, after one day, I am very happy - despite some niggles, these speakers sound great which is their main purpose. I'm not an expert or an audiophile, but I do like how these sound and they fit well into my room set-up as well. Review: Awesome speakers, especially when paired with the sub! - So straight off, these are awesome little speakers. I'm not going to do an in-depth review of the sound since I'm not really qualified and you can find plenty of reviews of the sound on YouTube. Suffice to say they're punch, clear, have a decent amount of power, and sound great. There are a huge amount of inputs in the back - two optical (for a PC or your Sky Box for example), RCA phono/line (to connect a record deck, mixer, games console, or many other things), aux (generally used to connect a phone or audio player), and Bluetooth. You can switch between all of the inputs really easily with the remote, and you can connect two Bluetooth devices (although you can only play one at once). On the back there's also an output to a sub, which is highly recommended since as you can imagine the speakers are quite small so if you want to use these to watch movies or listen to loud music they don't quite have enough punch, although they do very very well by themselves and a sub is in no way essential. I bought the Kanto SUB8: https://amzn.to/2V7KEOD - it's super easy to connect and adds an immense amount of bass to the setup. In terms of stands, the speakers come with some horrible little "feet" which are basically stickers and completely useless. Unfortunately it's hard to get the official Kanto stands in the UK, but I bought some of the SoundXtra stands and they're amazing, plus fit the speakers perfectly: https://amzn.to/2vaRVPa Basically these speakers look amazing wherever you put them, they're very minimal but solidly built and very stylish, so they don't stand out too much if you want them to blend in, but look awesome if you give them room to shine. There are enough connections to be able to literally connect everything you own, and for the price point you'll be hard pressed to find a better sound.

That said, I found the quality of sound pretty good right from the box. It always depends on what do you connect to it as sound source. Also, they're not computer speakers so they're best enjoyed from a distance with your head level with those speakers to get the most out of them. **Q: Do these speakers come with a manufacturer's warranty?** A: Yes **Q: Is there any latency issues if I connect to my ddj400 controller?** A: If you're connecting with Bluetooth there will always be latency. If by "issues" you mean worse than normal latency then no, but you'll always have latency. **Q: What is the length of the Power cable** A: Possibly around 1.5 m ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound amazing, straight out of the box! *by T***T on 20 January 2023* So, I only got these Kanto YU6 yesterday and I know they need time to 'burn in', but they sounded so great out of the box, I wanted to put a short review up immediately.

Speakers do feel premium (and heavy, haha) and sound great! They're very easy to setup but you'll need a bit of space around you so you don't damage them while pulling them out the box. The remote is a bit big but I really like all the controls on it that let you handle just about anything: volume, mute, balance, bass, treble, input sources (another great asset for me as I have a few devices I listen to music on), BT pairing, track controls (prev, play/pause, next) for BT connected players. Sound adjustments are easy to reset using dedicated reset buttons, too. The built-in phono pre-amp doesn't feel as good so I'm using a dedicated box, which seems to be giving me fuller lows and highs. For now. I may give it another chance at some point. **UPDATE** Been using these speakers for over a week now, the sound improved much after burning them in. And I got used to the built-in phono pre-amp as well. It's a real space and cable mess saver! The one thing that did bother me though is that in the evenings when listening to my favourite music on low volume, there's a lot of noticeable white noise coming out the tweeter, which somewhat drowns the music itself. Especially if you push the treble to the maximum setting. Now I should point out that I've got the speakers on my desk and I sit not more than three feet away from them. I got in touch with the manufacturer and they told me that the white noise is normal and is generated mainly as a result of the built-in phono pre-amp and because they're active speakers with a tweeter capable of reproducing very high frequencies. They also said these speakers are not meant for 'near field' scenarios. And I have to agree with them as the white noise practically disappears when listening from further away around my room. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kanto YU6MW Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Bluetooth and Phono Preamp | Pair | Matte White - Kanto S6W Tilted Desktop Speaker Stands for Large Bookshelf Speakers & Full-Size 5”-7” Studio Monitors | Supports 20 lbs | Damping Foam Padding | ¼”-20 Mounting | Pair | White - Kanto SUB8VMW Sealed Powered Subwoofer | 300W Peak Power | 8" Woofer | Matte White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/131273909-kanto-yu6mw-powered-bookshelf-speakers-with-bluetooth-and-phono-preamp](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/131273909-kanto-yu6mw-powered-bookshelf-speakers-with-bluetooth-and-phono-preamp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
