The YU6's 1" tweeters are made from silk to deliver a high-frequency range that is bright and refined. Their dome shape improves sound dispersion to ensure your ears capture every sound, regardless of where you are in the room.

Well-known for its strength and rigidity, Kevlar ensures accurate sound reproduction even at higher volumes. Crank your favorite tunes without sacrificing performance.

Inspired by an equal appreciation for digital and analog, the YU6 gives you the freedom to enjoy all your devices. Connect a turntable via a built-in phono preamp, transmit high fidelity audio from your computer or TV with optical TOSLINK, or sit back and enjoy your newly curated playlist with Bluetooth 4.0. With five inputs and a subwoofer output, the YU6 brings all your sound to life.

The YU6 comes equipped with a built-in phono preamp, allowing you to easily connect any vintage or modern-day turntable. Toggle between line-level and phono with a simple flip of a switch, and reduce noise using the provided ground terminal.

Featuring integrated Bluetooth 4.0 with Qualcomm aptX technology, the YU6 lets you stream high-quality audio directly from any Bluetooth-enabled device. Sit back and enjoy your carefully curated playlist from anywhere in the room.

Take your desktop setup to the next level by connecting the YU6 to your computer via the RCA, aux, or optical TOSLINK inputs. To reduce vibration and improve the soundstage, use the speakers with optional desktop speaker stands.

Enhance any cinematic experience with high-fidelity sound by connecting the YU6 to your TV via one of two optical TOSLINK inputs. To ensure your speakers remain stable and properly positioned, place them on optional floor stands.

Packed with functionality, the YU series remote makes listening to audio more convenient. Quickly switch between sources, tune your sound to fit your space, and control playback while streaming via Bluetooth.

Automatic standby and power-up mode conserves power when you're away and continues playback when your music starts playing.

They are relatively compact yet can fill up a large room (or perhaps even a living room). Sound quality is top-notch. I love that they can connect to both my turntable (Pro-ject Debut Carbon) and my phone via Bluetooth (quick and easy switch).

Well packaged by both Kanto and B&H. Excellent sound for the price and they look good. I bought them as computer speakers but used them for the first week with a TV, connected by optical and later by Bluetooth, and they performed surprisingly well.


I have the YU2's too for another computer and they are also very good. Overall, well designed speakers for a reasonable price and certainly good value for the money.


Whether it was my ears or the speakers I don't know but they sounded more open after a couple of days of use.

I'm using those as computer speakers in my office. I used to have a 2.1 system but the sound from those is so much better.
The remote is great and allows you to switch between sources, skip tracks (for bluetooth), adjust bass an trebble.
