This subreddit is for the budget minded audiophile that wants to grow out of soundbars, boomboxes, mini systems, portable bluetooth, lifestyle speakers, and PC peripheral branded audio solutions.

Instead, I have a 5’ x 5’ table in front of my listening seat, and placed the Tuks on the far corners of that. You don’t need a banana-prong cable, any wire of adequate gauge is suitable due to the screw-down connectors. However, its function is vastly different as each pair of pleats move horizontally in opposing directions as opposed to longitudinally. We’ve also given you the ability to completely defeat the automatic power-down feature that traditionally puts our speakers into standby after 15 minutes of not receiving an audio signal. The Tuk is unusual in letting you switch to another input from Bluetooth, then switch back to Bluetooth, without having to repeat the Bluetooth pairing process.Checking that all EQ settings are at neutral and that the active crossover (which could send those frequencies to a subwoofer) is disabled, we realise that it is a genuine issue. There is a very airy saxophone, and you can really get the sense of space that it takes up in the recording. You can also improve the audio performance of other equipment using the external DAC that the Kanto TUK offers. This will activate an HPF / LPF network and send anything below 80 Hz to the subwoofer and anything above 80 Hz to the speakers.

The TUKs, however, easily produce nice stereo separation, so placement within the several rooms I tested was fairly simple. The diaphragm is a pleated film with conductive metal trace, in this respect, it resembles a planar driver. I listened to Ernest Ansermet and the Swiss Romande Orchestra’s recording of De Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat (16/44. To simplify the connection, we tethered the volume of the speaker to the volume of the operating system.

The low-mass diaphragm combined with low range of motion enables rapid acceleration and deceleration similar to an electrostatic driver but with huge sensitivity and velocity. These powered speakers carry many of the features you'd expect of a complete music system, including aptX HD Bluetooth and both digital and analogue inputs. While matte white finish is also available, the matte black finish, which looks more like dark charcoal in my eyes, is divine. Recorded at the Crescendo Club in 1961 and 1962, it contains a very bouncy, committed performance of George and Ira Gershwin’s “Nice Work If You Can Get It. No problem -- I plugged my Polk DSW Pro 550 powered sub into the Tuk’s subwoofer output, engaged the 80Hz crossover, and did some balancing of levels.

At the end of the time I was reviewing them, I plugged in my headphones just to use them as a headphone only amplifier. To make it as easy as possible for you to get the gear you want, we offer a range of instant finance options.Kanto’s speakers have always been considered to offer excellent value, even here in Australia where we see considerable mark-ups.

These speakers played really nicely in my family room while I was listening to music videos from my Panasonic 65FZ1000 4K OLED monitor. However, the overall balance isn’t quite right; the bass registers are reticent and not nearly as stirring as they should be while the midrange lacks projection and solidity. Today, that knowledge and passion, combined with a team of dedicated design engineers, is the driving force behind their success. As the guitar and solo horn pipe up through the left speaker, Mick Jagger’s voice joins us with a pleasing central placement.I would like to thank Kanto Audio very much for their quick communication and for providing me with the TUK for the purpose of review. Throw on some vinyl, add in a pair of your favorite headphones, and bask in the simplicity of your setup. For those hankering after a set of plug-and-play powered speakers offering connections to any external source your heart desires, the Kanto TUK speakers present a fully-featured and well-made proposition.
