if you are using them as desktop monitor speakers I am not sure how you could think they sound bad, If your tying to use them in a large room for your tv then it might not sound great, but that's also not what they were designed for...
They sound horrible, even for the $$ - you can spend the same price for “B” Stock Yamaha HS5’s which sound 100 times better than these speakers. The audiophile hobby is much more complicated than most people understand, especially the first few years. You basically have to be an engineer to “really” Understand the science /physics behind the various products, ohms, wattages, thd ratings, sensitivity, impedance, etc. I was doing it for about 15 years until I “started” to get it (speaker pairing, impedance. Ice power handling etc). Now at 25 years in, I consider myself a “hobbyist” but far from a pro! It’s a very sophisticated, yet REWARDING hobby! That takes a great deal of time spent on research, going to audio conventions /meet up’s and browsing your local Hifi storefronts (I notice I’ve learned more from installers/techs then I have from salesmen and I suggest you do the same!). The salesmen will know the basics about each product, but the techs really understand the physics behind the balancing of amps to speakers to DACS. This gentlemen has the right idea but (may) be lacking certain experience to fully understand exactly how to review and compare certain models within the same realm. But let’s face it, everyone wants to be a famous influencer now adays! (Can’t blame him).
Nobody talks about the fact that every pair of Kanto YU4 has a humming-beeping sound when Opt 1 or Optical 2 is activated. Kanto knows about it, and doesnt address it. These reviews neither. Will return mine. What are these reviews for if you are not actually going deep.
I would be cautious of Edifiers, in the sense that studio monitors shouldn't be less that 200$. From what I have seen they seem to look like a cheap amazon speaker.
You are supposed to insert the speaker wire from the bottom . not from the top like you did. Seriously, how the heck do you not know that??????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yamaha hs5’s kill these in every way shape and are of similar price. Hey, I guess we all start somewhere (I currently have Focal grande utopia with naim separates and a hifi rose streamer).
Excellent choice in test Audio songs.
Well thank you!
Man I can’t decide between the 4 and 6. I have a fairly small bedroom but love great sound
Then go with the 6
Would it be okay yo reverse the left / right speaker positions? My power source would be on the right hand side
I dont think it would be too much of an issue
Some reviewers are saying it doest sound good.

Nice speakers but No Dolby digital :/
Kanto has some new stuff coming out soon lets keep our fingers crossed!

I personally am not aware of this, is it when connected to a tv or any optical?
Thanks for this, this drives me crazy. Have had loads of units from various manufacturers with this precise thing. Dodged a bullet
These seem incredibly overpriced considering the Edifier's sound much better for $200 and they are bluetooth with sub out

so that's why they wouldn't work....
Audiophile guy here 🙋🏻♂️…..these sound like $100
Chinese speakers 🥴🥴🥴🥴 passsssss!
I dont think your an audiophile then?.... and yes there are going to be be better speakers, but they will cost alot more...

Can confirm. The Yu4 are barely better than some Edifier MR4 for 100 bucks. Every solid 200 bucks passive speaker set will easily outclass the YU4s.
