### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super, mais attention au choix du caisson de basses !
*by  on Reviewed in France 22 July 2025*

Très bonnes enceintes, comme l'indiquent les autres commentaires. Le son est impeccable, parfait pour remplacer mes très vielles enceintes de bureau Bose (modèle 2006) !Un détail cependant, si vous souhaitez coupler ça avec un caisson de basses, assurez-vous que le caisson soit suffisamment puissant pour recevoir le signal en provenance des YU4.J'ai pour ma part (pour des raisons d'espace) un caisson de modèle autre que ceux de la marque Kanto, un Fostex PM-SubMini2 de puissance 50W, ce qui mène le caisson à produire un son très faible, même à volume maximal, à moins d'augmenter les basses à partir de la télécommande du YU4, ce que je ne recommande pas pour garder un bon équilibre audio.Le support Kanto a été très professionnel et a pu m'aider de manière claire sur tout cela. Il s'agirait du fait que le Sub OUT des YU4 envoie un signal "line-level", qui fonctionne mieux avec les caissons de basse n'ayant pas besoin d'un signal très fort pour produire un volume satisfaisant (donc pas mon Fostex). Suite à des échanges, j'ai finalement positionné entre le SUB OUT du YU4 et l'entrée du subwoofer un amplificateur stéréo classique 50W entre les deux (j'ai choisi un Fosi Audio V1.0G), ce qui fonctionne, même si j'aurais préféré éviter, parce que ça apporte son lot d'ennuis et de câbles supplémentaires.Je conseille donc de choisir un caisson adapté, de préférence celui de la marque, ou du moins plus puissant/sensible que ce que j'ai acheté.Si ce n'est pas possible pour vous, et que vous devez utiliser la même solution que moi, la recommandation du support est d'éviter les amplificateurs trop puissants pour éviter de surcharger les entrées de votre caisson de basse, de le régler au seuil le moins important mais suffisant pour finir l'équilibrage sur le caisson lui-même, quitte à mettre le volume du caisson assez fort pour compenser... Bon ne faites pas comme moi, prenez un caisson adapté !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent speakers, reliable vendor
*by  on Reviewed in the Netherlands 16 February 2022*

Amazing sound, excellent design and very fast delivery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stellar speakers, especially if they are on sale.
*by  on Reviewed in Canada 18 August 2025*

This is a preliminary review of the Kanto YU4 after 24 hours of using them. I am using them in my bedroom where previously I was using a Roku Stream Bar sound-bar with my television. I was growing dissatisfied with the muddy sound of the Roku (which is still vastly better than the TV speakers), so decided to make a change by moving to powered speakers and an ONN 4K Pro for streaming (check them out, they are awesome and now available in Canada at Walmart). I chose these speakers after reading/watching several stellar reviews and seeing the deep discount currently offered at Amazon. I am also happy that Kanto is Canadian.Thing I love:These are truly beautiful speakers. I chose the Walnut finish and they are stunning. Kanto offers these speakers in multiple colours and finishes so matching the style of your space will be a breeze. They feel extremely solid and hefty and the rounded corners adds an element of mid-century elegance. You will not be disappointed in how they look in your room.While lacking in deep bass due to their compact size, they still sound excellent with superior definition and clarity. The out of the box EQ is spot-on, but they also provide bass and treble controls on the remote to tweak the sound to match your personal preference. There are just powerful enough to become uncomfortable at max volume, which means they are perfect for the space. I am honestly impressed with how these sound and they are a big upgrade from the Roku sound-bar. I may add a small subwoofer in the future to extend the bottom end, but I am tickled with their sound quality thus far.The number of inputs (on the left speaker) is impressive. There is an RCA input with a ground post that can be switched between standard line-level or a built-in phono pre-amplifier. There is an AUX input that uses a 3.5mm (1/8") jack. There are also two optical inputs and Bluetooth. In addition, there is a USB that is only for charging devices, a subwoofer output and, speaker binding posts for powering the right speaker. I am using only one of the optical inputs for my TV and Bluetooth with my phone. Connecting was a breeze.The speakers come with a well designed remote that includes discrete buttons for every input, Bluetooth playback controls, as well as bass, treble, balance, volume and power.Things that could be better:These are seriously overdue for a Bluetooth upgrade. They are stuck using Bluetooth 4.0, which was released way back in 2009. They sound pretty good overall, using the aptX codec, but the low bandwidth compared to more modern Bluetooth versions is hampering them from reaching their full potential. 6.0 was released last year, but even 5.0 from 2016 paired with aptX HD, LDAC or even aac would be a a big upgrade. It occurs to me that if it is a genuine concern for someone, they could upgrade the Bluetooth themselves by buying a $20 adapter from Amazon and connecting it to the AUX jack. Personally, I will not bother as any streaming I do will be with the ONN player.It is slightly disappointing that the USB is for power only and not another digital input. That somewhat reduces their usefulness as computer speakers, although it does not affect me and my use-case in the slightest.This is a very minor nitpick, but I wonder why they opted for a second optical input instead of a coaxial one, which is by far the more common digital output on a blu-ray or DVD player. Mind you, in 95% of cases, the player would be connected to the TV via HDMI and the TV would then send out the sound via optical or RCA/35mm to the speakers/sound-bar.HDMI-ARC might be a nice option, but there is no difference between that and optical when it comes to stereo output. A non-issue.Things to know:These speakers CANNOT handle a digital multi-channel signal. Why would they? There are a stereo pair. Make sure you set all of your devices, especially the TV, to output stereo only. Otherwise you are going to end up with some pretty harsh digital noise.The included speaker wire that runs from the left (power) speaker to the right is very, very long. That is great if you want to place the speakers far apart, but you might want to cut-it to length, or use your own speaker wire, to avoid having wire draped all over your floor.Summary:I am deeply impressed with the Kanto YU4 powered speakers. They do everything I could possible want and sound amazing. The biggest flaw, the old Bluetooth version, is not enough to dissuade anyone from purchasing these or impacting my rating. The included phono input makes me think about getting another turntable just for the bedroom. I also may decide to add a small subwoofer in the future. If I do either, or if I run into any issues, I will update this review. For now, I am as happy as a clam.Peace.EDIT: wanting to stream audio, especially from my plex server, without needing to turn on my TV, I picked up a Wiim Pro. What a great companion for the Kanto. I used the second optical input to connect it and because the Wiim Pro has its own optical input that passes through the digital signal, I don't even sacrifice inputs. For example, I have the SMSL PL100 CD player connected as a transport being passed through to the Kantos. The Wiim also has Bluetooth 5.0, so it effectively upgrades the Bluetooth on the Kanto. The Wiim App is well-designed and streams basically everything including from my NAS and Plex server over wifi or ethernet with.no need to pass through the TV. It is the perfect partner for the Kanto YU4. 4 months later I still absolutely love how they sound, FYI
