The TUK appeared to push vocals slightly forward and the soundstage was noticeably narrower than the THX789. Nonetheless, Apt-X HD and AAC are both supported which offer a very noticeable step up in quality over SBC. Most important, the Tuks sounded great, with good presence, and the ability to convincingly reproduce any sort of music. Clean designs are a hallmark of Kanto Audio and, once installed on Kanto’s matching stands, I couldn’t help but stare and admire; the TUK is their most stunning work yet. In the factory default setting, the speaker containing the electronics reproduces the left channel, the other speaker the right channel.
Leland Sklar's tasty bass really adds texture to the track, it is all balanced, and again the soundstage is rather precise in the placement of the players. What most impressed me was the Tuks’ reproduction of Gascoyne’s bass line, with every plink and plunk solid and well defined.Kanto’s TUK speakers have many controls settings such as EQ pre-sets to allow you to adjust the sound when different devices are plugged into the speakers. In conclusion, Kanto TUK Powered Bookshelf Speakers offer an unmatched audio experience that caters to modern audio enthusiasts. Willow Weep For Me” by Jacintha has a saxophone that is really well done, and these speakers show that off really well. A mounting plate screws into the base of the speakers, it has a foam cover to prevent scratches and a marked slider permitting 15 degrees of toe in either direction.
The Kanto TUK utilises cutting-edge technology to deliver the best possible listening experience when it comes to bookshelf speakers. Before I started testing the TUK, I was worried that the folded ribbon sound I know and love could have been watered down due to cost cutting. Where an active system features a dedicated amp for each driver, the Kanto approach should be thought of as more akin to a traditional, passive system, where the amp (in this case a Class D design) is simply squirrelled away inside one of the boxes.
From the instrumental prowess of Becker and Fagan, to the guest musicians, Larry Carlton and Denny Dias sharing guitar duties, Chuck Rainey on bass, Joe Sample on electric piano, with Michael Omartian on the acoustic piano, they all just support the whole song with exquisite craftsmanship! I will not lie that there was a slight bit of that on pieces that leaned heavily on top end frequencies. Little Russian,” has a grand, majestic opening, with blockish chords for full orchestra punctuated by fortissimo timpani. The speakers come complete with a remote control allows you to mute your connected subwoofer, reduce the bass output and adjust the brightness of the input display. Outfitted with dedicated phono, RCA and Optical TOSLINK inputs, a built-in USB DAC and headphone amp and Bluetooth 4.
