I could detect no limiting kicking and the sound would get as loud as I possibly wanted it in near-field listening. The receiver has a status LED that changes colour to represent the selected input, on/off/mute status, and pairing modes. In addition, with Qualcomm Apt-X support, the speakers promise high quality over a wireless connection and this was reaffirmed in my subjective listening where the speakers provided almost wired quality over wireless.

aux socket on the rear allows the phono input to be kept as such and makes the YU6 a very capable proposition indeed – certainly something that gives affordable source, amp and speaker combos something to think about. Case in point, songs by artists such as Madeleine Peyroux and Jill Barber really have their singing emphasised and pushed to the front.REMOTE CONTROL - With volume, input, tone and balance controls, as well as playback options when using Bluetooth, the YU6 remote gives you full control over your audio. Use the provided USB charging port to conveniently power your phone, smart home or casting device directly through your speakers. The YU6 doesn’t have the most musical midrange, but it is refined, clear and balances instruments and vocals with aplomb. This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections (so where I measure it doesn't matter). This is especially since the channel output and input on the active and passive speaker already can accommodate banana plugs, and it makes connecting the two speakers easier.

Though bass extension isn’t class-leading, its main asset is its clean, well-separated tuning that provides a clean canvas for the user to adjust to personal taste or simply enjoy their tunes with great fidelity.

The vocals stand a little forward of the mix, allowing expression and detail in the voice to easily be discerned.A pair of balance button and a respective reset is used to bias the sound towards one side or another. I say this because, during testing, listening to them placed beside my PC monitor actually feels difficult and, to a varying degree, unsatisfying. I can't recommend these speakers enough - they are the first set of powered speakers, other than the Mackie and Genelec, to which I'd give my listening seal of approval. Getting back to the Yu6’s performance, the output on both speakers is clear and sharp, with the highs and mids being more prominent, while the lows delivered through the 5. Built-in Bluetooth with Qualcomm aptXTM technology lets you enjoy high-quality streaming from the palm of your hand.

The left one has an IR receiver and LED area on the left side and a multifunction knob on the right side. The YU6 has a subwoofer output enabling bass to be further augmented by Kanto’s own subwoofers or those from third parties. Having said all that, it is clear that there is a certain appeal behind the Yu6 and if the Yu2 speakers are anything to go by, it is not wrong for me to say that there is a certain level of expectation here.
