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.

Use the provided USB charging port to conveniently power your phone or other source device directly through your speakers.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. what's the difference between this one and the yu6?

A: The Yu4s have smaller drivers and a little less power with 70 W RMS and 1 x 4"woofer. While the Yu6 has 100 W RMS and 1 x 5.25" woofer.

Q: 2. How far apart can I put these speakers?

A: It will be depended on the Length of Speaker Wire that connects the 2 speakers. Though it has Bluetooth Capabilities for Audio Playback purposes, they do not connect to each other wirelessly. I see it is packaged with a 16 foot long Speaker Wire.

Q: 3. Is Yamaha R-N303D Network Stereo Receiver capable of bringing out the best from this pair of speakers?

A: These are very sensitive 6 ohm speakers. The Yamaha R-N303D, while an excellent receiver, is not designed for 6 ohms, and is less than ideal. It can power the speakers, but could conceivably be damaged at high volume.

Q: 4. Is Pure Matte white and Ice Gloss white?

A: That is correct!

Q: 5. which one would be a better choice for my pc this one or the yu6?

A: That largely comes down to personal preference. The Yu6 is slightly more powerful and has a larger woofer so it has a bigger footprint.

Q: 6. Can it be wall mounted?

A: Yes. 100 %. 6.2 way to go for wall mount. Put them on wall shelves or hang etc. Important point is the breather is on front.

Q: 7. Is ONKYO CR-N775D Receiver capable of bringing out the best from this pair of speakers?-powerfull enough?

A: The ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair), B&H # ELDB62BK, can handle a total power input of 120W, which the Onkyo CR-N775D Receiver would not provide in full.

Q: 8. Since these speakers come with a preamp, is it ok to connect a turntable that also has a preamp?

A: It would not be an issue to connect the Klipsch The Nines 2-Way Active Wireless Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut, Pair) BH #KLNINESWN with a turntable that has a pre-amp.

Q: 9. Are these the passive speakers Kanto lists on their site as YU Passive 5.25" Speakers?

A: The Kanto Living YUP6 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Matte Black, Pair), B&H # KAYUP6, are listed interchangeably on Kanto's website as the YU6 speakers and the YU Passive 5.25" speakers. They are listed as the latter at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3V9ROyQ

Q: 10. Will Denon PMA-600ne have good enough power to drive the elac debut b62?

A: It sure will.

[Bass-Reflex] Best speakers i have ever had

[< 0.3%] Best pair of Monitor speakers for the price. Bluetooth was super important to me as I'm always moving around the house, but the fact it comes with a built in pre-amp makes a world of difference too. Highs are great, lows are great too, and these things get loud if you want them too. Mids could be a tiny bit better, but not enough to where I'd complain. If you're on the fence about getting a sub, wait, these things bring plenty of bass. If you already know you're the type of person who needs that extra rumble then go ahead and pick one up. Connections are super easy, setup takes literally 2 minutes start to finish and everything works with little fidgeting.

[aptX] I needed a small powerful bookshelf speaker for my living room. These work better than expected and look real classy. The sound is clean and crisp. I do recommend these for sure.

[Bluetooth] Very solid sound in a small-ish package. Easy to connect and contain both a pre-amp and integrated bluetooth, which makes it nice and streamlined. Didn't compare to YU4, but these don't feel huge if size is an issue.

[2-Way] Although we had to wait (due to backorder) these finally arrived 3 weeks after xmas. Hooked up to old record player and the fun began. Good sound and useful bluetooth, or old school hook ups. Black cases show dust fyi. Might pick a lighter color if that's an issue in your house (as it is in mine!).

[4.0] Sound great, look great, well thought out controls, lots of inputs. No complaints that I can think of. I paired them with the Sub6 to get a nice amount of bass.

[4.0] Amazing speakers for the non-audiophile that appreciates great sound AND design!
Make sure you get the angles right though, because that can really affect the sound

[2-Way] Pretty cool to find some speakers that sound nice, have built in phono pre-amp and even blue-tooth capability. AND they look super cool. Absolutely LOVE them.

[2-Way] I have Pioneer plx 500 and these speakers are just a live saver. Sound is great for home, black matte will fit any interior. Highly recommend

[2 kHz ] Great sounding compact speakers. BlueTooth works well. Only wish is that they paired with each other wirelessly.
