Question: How do theeeese sound like?
Answer (summary of the most relevant arguments): 2:35 21:32 34:22 32:34
Why are we on Zeos' channel?
Answer: 3:22 5:14 6:48 29:01 & bonus 20:30
You: Are you really 1 of those doing that?
Me: Nah, I'm the only 1, doing that. You welcome, I just found you a new passion.
"this is the eaziest review i have to do". 35 mins... :)
Random Bits 😂
That's why we love him lol
I mean I love UX design and this is so far amazing UX applied to speakers. They really should give him an award and license this designer/ designer team to other companies to teach them how to do stuff and hire people that design that experience with their products. I mean I'm really impressed.
UX designer here. This is one of the reasons why I watch Zeos, usability = 💦💦💦
Just because “Tuk” sounds like “tux” I now associate these speakers with penguins. The black and white remote doesn’t help
You are the only channel and host who actually does not talk us to death but rather PLAYS the Speakers!!!! Thank You!!!
So, like my YU4, but more. Happy to see Kanto is still offering so much utility. As others have said, looking forward to seeing what color variations will be available.
🤣
First speaker I've seen since the KEF Q100 that get me excited. Maybe a little too excited. My God, they're gorgeous. Green is on. Yellow should always be standby...btw.
CORRECT
This was an amazing review And I even laughed a few times. Thank you!
they got delivered today...the TUK's and the 8 inch sub....hooked them up to my PC.....OMFG holy shit i love the sound WOW
nicer without the grills
I have the YU6's and they do that weird 3 seconds to start playing something thing too.
I really hope Kanto continues the awesome colors they've been offering
I've been looking forwards to this review for a while. I love my yu6's and was excited when I saw these announced.
@@mobilePCreviews how do they compare to someone that has neither? is the TUK worth the raise in price?
The first time you showed the Flirc, I ordered 2 of them...they are absolutely awesome...I program them on the Windows computer, but once programmed, they work in both Windows and Linux
Electrical tape pieces are your best friend when it comes to those LEDs
, black sharpie !!!!!!!
@@timschutte6924 Irreversible !!!!!!
You can turn the leds off on the tuk
I’d buy this if it was a bit cheaper. It’s one of the best looking pair, and as per review they sound great.man, very tempting
Hi Kanto, thanks for the TUKs.....now, for a limited time, some BENs, we need them!
just got a pair. yes, theyre fkng beautiful.
Important review from my best reviewer. Powered speakers for audiophile minded, and hassle free, 1 unit purchase is my criteria and best sounding for best sound possible fun/meets under 1k. Thankyou as I have the Yu6 as my first ever speaker and now the level up. ( I wanted the best under 1k u is my best answer thanku z reviews. Unbiased when say this, your the voice I count on.
@@lukerestlessstudios no dude those have no connections
I'm a huge fan of these speakers. The ribbon tweeter at this price point is just so phenomenal. And the finish on them is just beautiful.
You mentioned they fight against the Vanatoos. I think these are better. The tweeter on these is just so much cleaner and smoother.
Hey Z, your masterfully recorded bass king: Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
my favourite low end song is Moderat - A new Error ...but only when the speakers can do it. If they do, you will feel the low end in your whole body.
Solar Sailer- Daft Punk
Great bass track.
No lie.
The guy who invented the Blue LED won the Nobel Prize for it...
These sound great, now i wanna review a pair lmao
I found your'e channel, and glad I did. You do an excellent review, cudos ..
Hubris, Sevdaliza. You're in a space with tight bass. It's a fun track to listen to.
Testarossa, Matt Lange. Another great track.
Giorgio by Moroder, Daft Punk. One of my personal favorite electronic songs.
Dude, Thank you for Sevdaliza. Never heard of her before, but holy shit that is next-level quality.
These are $799 vs $599 T1E's? Maybe this review was done before pricing was announced?
EDIT: I can't even find the tech specs for this on their homepage :(
Great bass track: Chevelle Face to the Floor.
Still waiting to see the review of the sixes. As far as powered speakers go those are the ones I'm interested in the most. :)
Looks like a modern art piece in a museum--perhaps a robots head from Black Mirror
Best sounding chunks of butter I've heard
Protohype - Downfall will make your neighbor's love your sub! Old style Dub is the best bass response testbed.
Zeos the fact that you mentioned the megalo box soundtrack, you the mvp for reviewers! also your genuine enthusiasm keeps me watching your videos man
$600? Try $800... ouch. That’s a painful price even for something that sexy. And with the stands, that brings these to almost a grand
Arent these powered, with Bluetooth and a phono preamp? I mean youre getting exceptional audio with all this functionality for $1000 thats awesome
Infected Mushroom album Head of NASA and the 2 Amish Boys
Has some great bass tracks
Infected mushroom - The Shen
Etc.
Cashmere Cat - Mirror Maru
Very interesting about the dsp and speaker wires that control the audio. Base and treble? I didn't know all that. Thanks, I love the edifices s3000s, very good speakers. Love them
Eryka Badu, Telephone from the album New Ameryka is a killer bass test record. A sub is required as most speakers cant reproduce those sub 35hz parts.
Just listened to theses at @LinusTechTips LTX event. Great speakers, great people.
At Zs price of 599 I was interested. Went to site and 799...Out
will confirm. they might have changed it recently or my brain was screaming t1e prices
@@ZReviews I'd like to see you flex your muscle and get these back down to 599 if thats what you were told
@@ZReviews TUK is priced at $799 USD
*Mister Lies - False Astronomy*
Pure bliss captured in frequency. Got to love the Spirited Away sample that's neatly tucked into the track.
_or_
*KR$CHN - All This Stuff*
It's ridiculous. My IEMs cannot handle this track.
I listened to these tracks. Thanks for putting me on.
@@bgallagrr the entire album that contains *All This Stuff* is phenomenal. Also check out *Lorn - Ask The Dust* album if you like deep bass... It's a dark journey, but it's superb
@@mikael7071 i will. Thanks man. Nice to get useful and friendly replies in the comments lol
Dillards carried Kanto for awhile. When stuff doesn't sell there they mark it way down. No one goes to dillards to buy studio monitors. Went in awhile back and they had them all 70% off. Bought every set they had! Really like them.
within 1 minute of your review I bought them!
I really like these...$800 tho. I just ordered 789 and argons so probably next year?maybe not?
One suggestion ; the Vanatoo's have more "controlled" Bass; more from the Passive Radiator design, than the DSP - which most likely, does gives It, a bit more refinement.
, agreed but you could get a powered subwoofer like the BIC F-12 and still save money
Between these and the vanatoo t1e, in a living room scenario, which has more defined and prominent vocals?
This is most important to me because they will be used often for TV shows and movies, and the fact that I won't have a center channel makes me really concerned about clear dialogue that stands out from other sound effects
, if your gonna spend $600 bucks on a set of powered speakers, I would go with a pair of JBL ARENA 130s and a SMSL SA 98 amp. Much better and it's only $400 bucks.
Then you could get a powered subwoofer like the BIC F-12. Then your really gonna have a much better system. It comes out to about $630 bucks total. Just saying
@@timschutte6924 I hear you. That's how I'd prioritize. But I have yet to hear the new generation of self-powered, digital crossovered, pre-dsp fixed speakers. I suppose if you want to start a system with exclusively that kind of speaker, vocal clarity would be a good criterion for the first pair.
@@timschutte6924 With a massive wave-guide, the JBL ARENA 130s will likely present a larger sound-stage, but they will not provide "more defined and prominent vocals". The Vanatoo t1e would be a far superior all-in-one solution, with various input types accepted and nothing else to buy... except maybe a subwoofer down the line, if so desired.
29:10
Your answer's there.
Hi Zeos, nice review! Would you buy this (not concerning the look) or: 1. minidsp 2x4 HD + Jds Atom + Topping pa3/smsl 98e + KEF 100/Kef 150?
Any advice on the speaker amp? What would sound nicer, maybe equally good? Oh also i would ad an Chromecast audio for streaming!
We need passive kanto tuks
THIS! There's no excuse when one side is passive with a crossover already!
I actually just messaged them. No answer yet, but if enough of us ask, maybe.... =D
Hello everyone, what you guys think about Edifier S3000Pro vs Kanto Tuk?
I had S2000 pro and S3000 pro before ,worth to get kanto's just for the sub out ? Thanks.
They look nice. A white knob would have been beautiful in terms if symmetry of both speakers.
matching white plastic and white painted cabinet is difficult ;)
buffalo stu You are right. That’s not easy but possible.
Stick a small piece of black electrical tape over that blue LED on your monitor. I had to do that on my Pioneer TV. Tape is unnoticeable and no annoying blue light.
Fave low end is cv313 - The Other Side. It's my go-to track to test bass, it's long but certain parts have this really deep bass.
at this price point, which would be better? The T1, Triangle BR02/BR03 or this?
I have the white Kanto Yumi's on white Kanto stands with the white sub-8 in my living room. I am thinking about these Tuk's for my new computer speakers when I build my next custom PC rig (soon). I hope they eventually make a matching aluminum cone Tuk-Sub for them...
Solar Fields - In Motion (Good Morning Edit) Remastered
Just listened to it via Tidal, what an amazing track! Solar Fields Magnus Birgersson is one of the best ambient artists. Cheers!
From another Swede based in Irvine, CA
@@hireality Hey, glad you liked it! If you like that, I would also recommend Carbon Based Lifeforms. Also makes ambient music, also Swedish, also very good.
The new software for the Vanatoo subwoofer has the volume. You can lower subwoofer from remote now.
With the new firmware, when you lower the sub, does it send back what you lowered from the sub back to the T1’s proportionally?
Great review, just to make sure: I shouldn't use LFE mode on a sub with the TUKs, right?
I've just purchased a PB-1000 pro so I guess I'll eventually figure this out when it arrives. 😅
My understanding is that I should always use 80Hz low pass filter on the sub, no matter which mode I use on the TUKs. (crossover on / off)
How are the Tuk's for you? Some people say they're colder, and thin they'd be better for producing music than enjoying music, but the acoustics of their rooms were obviously really bad, and I have spent more soundproofing my room than on the sound system itself (a5 and s8, but the A5's are aging out, and the Tuk's are at the top of my list) which i imagine effects how the decay is received.
@@Pistolita221 I really like them! But I can't comment on their "cold" nature, I haven't spent time comparing them to other alternatives and I don't have a great history of owning and testing audio equipment.
It's a bit difficult in the EU since most known outlets on UA-cam are suggesting USA models that aren't available in my region.
If you manage to get a good deal on them and you're looking for this form factor, I find them decent.
But around this price point you have a ton of options to look at, especially if you're not specifically looking at active solutions.
@@H4GRlD I only have 11 inches of vertical space, and I need a powered speaker. I'm also looking for the crossover feature, and I really like the look of these. It's 'only' 800 in my region, hopefully they run a small sale but 800 is doable for me.
if you don't mind me asking, what are you using for your DAC?
@@Pistolita221 Using the built in one, it's hooked up to my PC currently with a toslink cable. I have only used digital signal so far, my experience with their USB driver was not great so I opted for the optical input.
I have some small Kanto desk speakers. They sound fine for me. I need the kanto sub-a-fer now.
Are these truly in the same league as the Edifier S3000 Pros? I currently have 305Ps for my PC and I am looking to pick up something that will eventually be used as part of a home theater setup. I had my eyes on the Edifiers for a while but dammit if I don't second guess myself after every single review of yours Z!
ever buy either? I want to know too
@@caspar_gomez I bought the Edifiers on black Friday. I couldn't pass up the amazing half off deal Edifier ran. Theses speakers are amazing and blow the 305Ps away.
@@gmanxxx7225 wow that's a great deal! Might make me hold off buying them full price knowing that though... but I would jump on that in a heartbeat
I love white speakers.. Esp if they are good looking. Of course sound quality should be good
Great review!
Zeo's, dude, please do a response to the Tekton Impact and New Record Day's review of them. I really want to know what they sound like, not what they look like on a f**king graph and if the upper mid-range is "hard" haha.
Did you ever try these with the USB DAC? If so, what are the available sample rates?
Kanto Tuk vs KEF LSX?
Just found your review amazing 🤩 just bought these for my desktop. Quick question optical cable is going to the back of your PC? Just wondering about the setup? Thanks in advance.
I wish i could get my Kanto sub 8 to sound good with these, the bass on the TUK themselves sounds way better than what i can get with the sub in my room.
I have a fairly small, pretty crowded room.
update us on the sound bro (no sub), thinking about getting these vs similar price edifier/audioengine. This vs a5+? TUKs the most expensive where i am
@@caspar_gomez Haha, funny enough my previous speakers were the A5+ and these absolutely win. For me there's no contest. I had the A5+ for about 5 years too.
For me everything is just clearer there's so much more resolution to the Treble. Mids and Bass are soooo huge for these size speakers. Some people find them harsh which probly comes down to them not placing them right. When you get these positioned for your listening area the imaging to me seems out of this world. I use them as my desktop speakers with Kanto's own stands. Also with my A5+ i also ended up buying AE's DAC which cost me quite a bit too. With these you definitely don't need the DAC. Not to mention even when i first set these up and started placing them/moving them around on my desk they sounded great right off the top.
I live in Canada so i ended up paying about 1100$, but to me these are 1000% worth it. Not to mention these are sooo fucking beautiful, especially in white.
@@Xeltos thanks for the detailed reply! Really helpful, seems to hard to find normal peoples reviews on this speaker.
That's almost exactly what I wanted to hear. I was a bit worried some people said they were harsh/thin/light on bass. But I'm a long time fan of the ultrasone headphone sound which people call fatiguing and lacking bass too. But one thing I really like about them is that they're super detailed and with very well defined, punchy bass, rather than bloated rumbling bass. Think those had aluminium or titanium drivers so maybe they have the same characteristics.
Sounds like these may be similar which would suit me great. Already have passive bookshelfs but I want these for a computer desk set up and the functionality is very persuading...but because they'll be used for long hours the fatiguing comments make me pause.
Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated.
@@caspar_gomez
These definitely do not have bloated or rumbling bass. Very accurate and tight bass/mids and if you have any bass heavy songs these are GODLIKE. WAY more than the A5+ ever had for me.
But yeah these do have aluminum drivers.
Honestly i listen to them pretty much all day and i never find them harsh or fatuguing. I can't ever see myself getting another pair of speakers, that's how much i love the sound signature and again they're also beautiful speakers. haha
@@Xeltos nice, definitely listen to a lot of hip hop. I think I'm going to give them a try, depending on how the prices for everything are when I'm buying. Thanks amn
These babies would fit perfectly on my white desk. Fuck it, I can live with only one kidney..I'm sold! 😂
I've had these for about 2 and a half months - - after pairing them with a subwoofer, they absolutely blow away anything else I have. Just make sure to play around with the treble/bass settings to dial in your absolute desired sound. Happy listening!
@@alexanderpetrenko539 Thanks. Is there a big difference in size between these and YU6?
@@cosmotk Not really. The TUKs are slightly heavier I think.
I literally had a pair of T1 Encores purchased and I returned them and got these.
For three years all I had was a set of SHP 9500. Got addicted to you, Joshua Valor and DMS. Now I own Focal Elegia, Sundaras and DT 1990
Oh yeah dont forget my Koss $30 bangers lol
Only thing is I got a toppin A50s and D50s combo, while they do everything I need for now I see I time where I’ll be NEEDING an xlr output for balanced sound soon so I feel like I should’ve went with the A90/ D70 combo from the start. Didn’t realize this hobby would consume me so quick
Even tho this review is two years old these speakers came in this week and I cried watching lord of the Rings. But that’s just me. Also added an SVS SB 1000 pro
@@WillxAdams How do you like your Tuk's? Is the sound colder, and what kind of acoustics does your listening environment have?
I got the white ones too as a Christmas present to myself because I just couldn't count on my 12 and 13 year old daughters to buy them for me
headphone out isnt very good in my exp, i plugged the meze 99 classics in, and there is a coil whine continual sound! i tried to google it and kanto say they are not designed for higher impedance headphones over 32ohms, but mezes are 32ohms... any ideas?>
What was that first tune? These look so cool
That first song was AMBROSA
@@timschutte6924 thanks but I can't find that anywhere :s is that the song or artist name? O.o
Very first song? Hacksaw by Ooah. Ooah is a member of the Glitch Mob so it makes sense that it was included in the Crush Mode mixtape
10cc- not in love
Song is Hacksaw by Ooah :)
Have the Kanto Yumi love them
How do these compare with the YU4 or YU6's? I like that sound, but wish for just a touch more brightness and loudness... anyone?
What’s the point in having all this gear collecting dust? Lol
Why are these now $800? My budget is 300-400, but I'm tempted to pay extra 200 on my 0*. interest amazon card, and get the vanatoo T1Es... I'm just debating if I should wait for black friday, in case other 500-600 speakers get reduced to 400. I have a feeling that the vanatoo won't be on sale since they're price hasn't increased $200 , like so many of the others have in a year or two after your reviews.
These are great btw
They need a passive version
Currently $899. Still a no-brainer?
Just found out about these. Sadly they cost like $1200 where I'm located....bid sadge.
would you use the TUK's or the Edifier s3000Pro as TV speakers...and why ...thx a bunch...cheers from Canada
Can i use my TUK's as TV speakers ? and if so how do they sound for movies and sports ? would also have the s8 subwoofer hooked up too...thx...cheers from Canada
No Z, the NEC (electrical code book) says nothing about outlet orientation. They can be sideways if you prefer. As far as the review, are the Zanatoo T1Es louder and do they sound better?
Oh god damn they are beautiful.
Could you tell me in order from left to right what color LEDS are on the Tuk? You mentioned green and red, then you mentioned blue but I wasn’t sure if you were only referring to the blue light on your PC monitor... I’ve tried to find a video that clearly depicts someone switching though input modes to see what color leds there are. How many stay lit at a time? I’m hoping there are no blue LEDS. I’d prefer red and green over blue. Even white over blue. Any info would be most appreciated...
I LOLed a lot :D
God these are sexy.. now the real question is are they worth the $800 over the vanatoo t1 encores for overall use? I'm stuck between both of them now and I need a solid pair but just the look of these make me want em..
The price of these speakers has risen $200 in 18 months. Now that's NOT cool.
Dang. On sale for $649! I think it’s happening...
Hey not sure if missed this which Sub do you suggest with these? Kanto S8?
They are beauty but probably won't be availbe in Poland, and shipping would kill profitability and warranty.
So... Edifier S3000 Pro would work on desk? In next two months will finish saving moneys for these, but i'm still not sure. They need to work on 21m2 room for movies too.
Tight, refined, controlled low-end:: My Fucking Sound by Squarepusher
(and the unbelievable miracle that is Deliverance by Culprate)
You said not to do it, but Good Nights by Whethan. Crazy low bass is fun 😏
Are these good for $550 or should I buy the Yamaha hs5 and a schiit 3 plus for the money?
Nothing wrong with Large fonts on a manual. One can barely see them on a vitamin bottle nowadays.
what is the difference between plugging speakers such as these into your PC through optical or USB ?
Optical is limited to 24bit/192. But that doesn't matter. Also USB gives you track control via remote without the FLIRC
and by USB you are bypassing the motherboard onboard audio and use the much better DAC speakers built-in
I really want this speakers but in Germany they are actually really expensive cost over 1000 €.
So zeos did you just say that you would take the m200 over the kanto tuk?
Hey Z, quick question:
Kanto Tuks or Vanatoo T1e?
Someone answer this please🙃
After watching this is decided to pull the trigger to find something more compact for my office instead of my LS50s / Sprout 100. These did not fit that bill. They sound good (not even close to LS50 good, but decent), but after about 30 minutes even at a lower-medium volume they were very fatiguing. I had to take the treble down so much they sounded flat, even that was still fatiguing. Maybe my ears just didn’t like the tweeter on this, but they got shipped back today 👎🏻 I think they are overpriced for what they provide sound wise.
did you allow them to break in right?
What did you settle on?
I went with another pair of LS50s and a Sprout 100
@@RyanZNO How is the sprout? I'm debating between it and a NAD3045
@@ynnadk9859 definitely go with the sprout if you like a more balanced sound. I found the NAD 3045 sounded harsh, not as full bodied. I’m probably not the best at describing this, but the sprout always has a pleasing tonality no matter what you’re listening to.
I can't believe I sat and watched this...
Why you say that?
