Minimal Desk Speakers: Kanto YU2 Review | On My Desk

[@MattNVZION]

They match your setup so perfectly and I love how compact and space saving they are.

[@johnnyrocks9]

Your reviews are always a good time and your English is so well spoken at the perfect speed for us non native english speakers to fully understand you so thank you

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you 🙏

"Nice speakers 🎵". Walnut looks elegant comparing to any other color, that wood touch is unique. That's why many tech stores use that style to show their products.

[@ManofGearsGN]

It still amazes me that you shot all your videos on an iPhone! Your videos looks so good and clean!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you mate

[@callacrap]

Been looking to add the YU2’s to my set-up, thanks for the sound comparison - can clearly hear the difference vs the monitor! They look and sound awesome!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you! I'm really impressed with them too.

[@carloswhite3675]

“Nice speakers” really like the walnut and black especially on the stands, I actually looked at these before on recommendation but definitely think a sub is needed.

[@justintavares9730]

Had these for a year and they’re insane for the tiny size. Love them so much I’m gonna try to go for the YU4’s soon!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Great idea mate.

[@applelcs]

“Nice Speakers” Not gonna lie, those speakers look sick in walnut in your setup! Excited to see what monitor you pick up!

[@RexxReviews]

I have these speakers in the bamboo on my Bamboo Autonomous desk. They look great.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Nice choice mate

[@masterchief9148]

They're look so cool ! I'll probably buy them this year ! Good size, good sound, good look ! Impressive how good reviews are about these speakers !

[@SuperFam12345]

I love the walnut Theme pal... I do have a walnut theme myself as well.. it just looks classy and very cosy. Overall a very "Nice setup" matey. I love watching.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you mate. I agree it does give a warm and cosy feel haha

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

They look and sound amazing. Fits the aesthetic of the setup perfectly. The screen speakers sound so muddy in comparison

[@SpawnPoiint]

Cheers mate! It was only when comparing the two did I realise what I'd been missing haha

[@s_j1691]

This speaker look very cool in your desk sir 🤗😘

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks mate, I really like them!

[@jaydee2719]

Very nice, I recently wanted the same..small, but good quality. I opted for KLH Ames in matt black....and I hooked it up to my old Logitech sub from my previous 5.1...runs the KLH fine.

[@lewissheridan]

Nice job, bought these speakers based n your review. I have the YU4’s but wasn’t sure about the YU2s until your video convinced me they’ll be great!

[@ghost-type]

I have these same speakers with the Kanto Sub6. It's a great setup and the combo sounds great.

[@PatonCavaney]

Nice one mate. High quality content, been looking at the YU6 for a while

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks mate. Yes those look awesome too, would get a pair if I had the space. I imagine they will sound incredible.

[@olorunjumiloogunkolade3948]

Miss the channel, great video as always

[@King-zo4vv]

NICE SPEAKERS I was looking into these speakers. I heard good things.... still trying to compare the YU2 to the YU4 to see which is worth it. Awesome video👍🏾 keep it coming! Night and day difference between the screen speakers and the YU2🤯

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you. Yes I imagine the YU4 will sound even punchier.

[@Loyalrex]

Great looking speakers! A good noticeable difference from the monitor speakers to the Kanto's, which is fine for sitting at a desk and background noise. Doesn't need to be much more!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thanks mate. Yes I agree for a bit of background music it’s enough

[@michaelhawkins7389]

@@SpawnPoiint where did you get your desk from? I would love to buy it as a replacement for my pc desk , I am based in the UK and I have Amazon and ebay

Taking a look at buying these in bamboo - thanks for the review!

No problem!

[@CF-uw5wb]

Nice speakers, I just purchased the walnut myself. I really like them. Thanks for the video.

[@ChipAndCrinkle]

Nice speakers! I re-watched your Logitech MX video yesterday as I'm in the market for a new keyboard, and I had to laugh when your sub ident said 10k - you've come so far, really loving the channel.

Thank you mate. I really appreciate the support too.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you!

[@TheKingofhell01]

Wow those pack such a punch for the size, can’t wait to get my hands on them

[@SpawnPoiint]

Seriously impressed mate

[@Gearsandco]

if you were on a really tight budget you get the M-audio Av32 or the PreSonus Eris E3.5 Not as good looking but way better sounding for only $100, personally I would not invest $300 on a non reference speakers and other than the design I don't think they are worth it. the price of theses Kanto YU2 can easily get you a 5" or even 6" individually powered speaker monitors.

[@JTechWP]

Nice Speakers, planning to get the bigger version and a sub when i order a Mac Studio M1Max and 4K Asus Proart 32" HDR monitor. It'll be one kick ass setup for video editing and listening to music

[@9b27guruparans6]

Nice Speakers dude . I'm looking to buy this speaker and your video was really helpful . Thanks a lot dude 😀

Thanks Michael, it was close between these and those that you have.

[@marcyboy641]

@@SpawnPoiint I'm curious to hear your opinion. I want to buy either the Kanto YU2 or Audioengine A2+. Why did you choose for the Kanto?

[@nathaniallischak3133]

Nice Speakerz lol I heard the YU4's solve the base issue you may be having.

[@JorgeAngelo.]

Hi SpawnPoiint! Nice speakers! Your monitor is also a good one, why will change it? Will the new one be an LG again? C'mon give me an advance. 😉🖥️

[@SpawnPoiint]

Haha sorry mate. Time will tell, I’ve narrowed it down to a few and it’s really only between LG and Dell for me.

[@neilrr1000]

NICE SPEAKERS I am looking at speaker/ soundbars and it's a hard choice, I think I was spoilt as i was running a Samsung S61A under the Neo G7 so not sure I'd like speakers behind the screen/ lack of base. Side note if you do want to look at a new monitor, you can't underestimate the difference a curved screen makes on your eye strain and general work health!

[@derranstokes8760]

""Nice Speakers" Absolutely love the walnut theme in your home office. Do you use the speakers when on a video call, or do you prefer a headset for calls?

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you. No I’d use a headset for calls, I’d only use the speakers for music now.

[@hpotter7210]

Man just bought the edifier 1700bts. Might consider switching to these

[@mancal5829]

Nice speakers!

[@Ian-gf8id]

They look nice enough but there are some essential (for me) things which you haven't mentioned in your review...do they have to be manually powered-on each time or will they power/sleep according to the status of the Mac ? can the volume be adjusted from the keyboard, or do you have to use the rotary dial on the rear of the YU2 ?

[@King-Bobby]

Very cool set up and the speakers may be just what I need for my space, cheers for the insightful video!

[@hdj_lufc09]

Like the setup mate unique keep up the good content

[@SpawnPoiint]

Thank you mate

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Oooff I've just been looking at the YU4's since you posted these on instagram. these look and sound great! The volume placement on the back is a bit of a bummer in my opinion (hence looking at YU4's) but hey. 'Nice speakers' man ;). Buy a pro display XDR!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Ah thanks mate. Yes the volume is a weird one, but once I turn it on I just use the Mac controls to turn it up and down etc.

Nice Speakers mate!! 👏👏🤛🤛

Unfortunately they don't have bluetooth, which is a shame.

I have these with a SUB 6. I love them. Nice speakers!

Ohh. I’m so tempted.

You should rotate the O and X PlayStation symbols 90° so the grain matches the others.

Hmm so these are 1 channel speakers. Left and right speakers are ghetto rigged together?

[@aarizm8829]

Nice m8 good quality

[@SpawnPoiint]

[@MrProfessorPN]

Were there also other speakers you were considering, like the audioengine A2+ wireless? And why did you opt for this one, other than the walnut finish (which looks stunning btw)? I'm asking because these are not available where I'm from

[@SpawnPoiint]

It was close between the two. The A2+ apparently have more bass so don’t need a sub. From what I’ve seen there’s not much in it.
