Ultimate Guide to Passive Speaker - Choosing the Right Amplifier | Kanto YU Passive 4" & 5.25"

[@davetaylor7664]

Got some YU4's a few years back and do the job. Great video, this is just the video i've been looking for!

[@dorianestate]

Kanto listen ! If you will make floorstanders i will be among your first buyers ! Continue the good work , high quality audio speakers for affordable prices ! Kanto YUP 6 RULES !

[@dorianestate]

I hooked these up with aiyima A07 pro and Aiyima T6 Pro preamp . It is a spectacol of music and sound ! Very happy with them , also i hooked up a subwoofer Eris Sub 8 . Nobody can ask for more in a medium size room , really good quality sound , and i heard plenty of floorstanders . These speakers are really detailed and punchy all the same ! Superb combination !

[@deborahbarr8501]

Great information. We are wanting to replace our large speakers with small desktop speakers and this is the information is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@keithmoriyama5421]

Then you don't want desktop speakers. You want bookshelf or stand mount speakers. A desktop is meant to work and sound right on a desktop and they will not be adequate for even a 'smallish' room. Even a smaller bookshelf with a sub can approximate a set of large towers.

Great video! I thought I knew everything already, turns out I learned what a pre-amp is. Thanks!

[@Tolderian]

30 videos and hours wasted and this… this is what I needed to see. Thank you.

[@snap8386]

Jason, nice job man. I want to see a vid about passive speakers for PCs connected to dac connect to an amp, but without the part why things work like that, just the how to make it work.

[@trilliamfloyd1617]

Speakers, Pokémon, and Toni Braxton in the same video. Love it!

[@hekakain4108]

I've had the Kanto YU3 speakers for a few years now and last week the fuse went. I've bought replacement fuses which do nothing. There is no damage within the fuse compartment itself as the speakers have been used for low volume music and movies via my PC...not best pleased with the idea of having to buy new speakers due to a blown fuse in speakers that I've had for such a short period time...

[@roseribcage]

thank you for the explanation. My question is what specific preamp would you consider buying for the passive Kanto yu4? I am connecting it with a turntable (phono) and probably going to play my iphone wirelessly.

[@clearskyy]

Thank you again for the informative video (:

[@BobDoherty]

I love my passive 5.25's but I would LOVE IT! if Kanto came out with a 6.5in speaker.

[@FromTheHood]

I have a question tho, how do I connect, lets say that AMP to the PC, because I wanna play my music via PC?

[@sil-ly4yj]

Hi thanks! I have some old wired passive speakers. is there any way to power individually each passive speaker with sone integrated wireless, and then they receive the signal coordinated from a single source via bluetooth? The wiring is just horrible

[@FelixNL05]

You’re the goat !

[@damianolovo699]

If I have a 5.1 surround system with the passive sub, which one is the best for low budget?

[@dougstewart6581]

Cheers for the info! Is there a way of knowing how much the amp affects the tone? I need a 12v amp to power studio monitors with a balanced frequency response for mixing in a camper van. Niche i know! Cheers for any advice!

[@SmugSmurf]

Regarding Watts 05:45 the "May" in this statement is dependent on Speaker efficiency . If you have a High Efficiency speaker you "May" no have to worry about needing higher wattage as the speaker is not so power hungry. How do you know the Efficiency of a Speaker? Look at the specification marked (#) dB @ 2.83V/1M. If the "db" looking higher that 90db, you will be looking pretty good, efficiency wise.

[@ant2537]

great video

[@schrider3390]

Thank u. Now I finally understood how to use it. Looked in the internet and understood nothing. Now I can finally start in the Sound game😁

[@ganesang5537]

Not just resistance, but reactance as well. So, impedance, which changes with current.

[@darrenparkes9805]

Excellent 😊

[@Elementpunx]

Hey. Could you make Kanto TUK passive? Thanks.

[@Anthonybrother]

Just beautiful products.

[@austinmenosky4751]

The intro 😂

[@VisnitchiRaul]

From my experience, a 30W amp at 75% volume has enough power to destroy 100+W speakers.

[@robertf6409]

Why...how does that happen?

[@VisnitchiRaul]

@Robert F Probably because it's about the source power. Some sources have low power so the amplifiers were made to compensate for that. If I use my PC at 100% volume, high power source, I need to use the 30W amplifier at max 40% volume. If I use my smartphone at 100% volume, low power source, I need to use the 30W amplifier at max 70% volume for the same results. +/-.

[@Thiloyeah]

Nice video. But the end is a little irritating. Your'e using a stereo system, however you connected 4 cables, so 2 each altough you said either or.

[@keithsnowdon3968]

Are these Chinese as well?

[@chinmeysway]

Sensitivity rating too tho bro

[@KantoSolutions]

Most modern amplifiers have enough power to drive a speaker to an appropriate volume level. If you match an amplifier's power to the speaker's power rating and it's still not loud enough, then you're either buying the wrong type of speaker for the application or the manufacturer has not spec'd it correctly.

[@mo_adventures]

I received my pair of yu 4 speakers today. Sound is pretty nice. However the build quality left a lot to be desired. The finish around one tweeter was cracked. And the edges on the front exposed the mdf underneath. Maybe I’m a bit salty as I was pretty excited for these. The design is nice. Just poorly executed. Hopefully I was just unlucky.

[@KantoSolutions]

hi there, sorry to hear about this. Please send some pictures to [e-mail]. Hopefully we can help you out.

[@mo_adventures]

I’ll send you an email with explaining the situation.

[@CroftGaming1]

I power my two 300watt RMS sub with a 35watt RMS lol, still its way loud

[@JoshuaPacker]

Kanto doesn't sell that AMP any more, do they, is there a new AMP coming?

[@malteadotas4]

get an Aiyima T9. Great amp, small footprint and the valves look really cool. It has a solid DAC, Bluetooth etc. Just got one.

[@shaolin95]

They sound great with my SMLS sa300 and aiyima a07 pro

[@MrDrewseph]

Pokemon! Actually Johto is my fave

[@krom447]

You forgot tell difference between impedance and resistance.

[@DeepuAmalan]

you😊

[@billb4567]

Good video for the beginner but one quibble, speakers are rated in ohms but that is an impedance value, not resistive. Other than that, OK.

[@djdj500dr]

Impedance is resistance. Differently terminology for AC or DC circuits.

[@souvikghosh2430]

Precisely its not resistance, the load should pronounced as impedance.

[@Audiomainia2310]

Guy, you are wrong - lower ohm rating, more wattage required to run / higher ohm rating, less power required. Try driving a 4 ohm speaker with an A/B amp rated at 8 ohms, the top will heat up drastically and clipping could occur, or permanent damage to the amp or receiver. And where does the speaker dip? Meaning some are rated at 8 ohms but due to the crossovers can dip to 4 ohms or even less. You need to know a whole lot more about your speaker's impedance curve before matching a speaker and amp / A/V receiver.

[@doing2onyou423]

I can't help but think that he almost sounds like Ernie from Sesame Street.

[@Subboxstoker]

When I think of kanto I think about how crappy y 5.25 passive are. What a waste of my time. Do not buy these expecting something great in return. Absolutely trash.
