About this deal

This allows you to ensure your speakers are set up to deliver the stereo experience that the recording engineers intended. The light touch of flesh on the strings is apparent, and its Dean's delicate touch that underscores the whole song. The Tuks come in matte white with gray grilles, or my review samples’ matte black with black grilles.

The diaphragm is a pleated film with conductive metal trace, in this respect, it resembles a planar driver. The Kanto TUK Powered Bookshelf Speakers offer an unmatched audio experience that caters to modern audio enthusiasts. All of this is good news in terms of integration options, but we’re testing the speakers in their own right, and we begin by holding the forward track-skip button on the remote to tell the software that the master speaker is on the right (by default it's set to handle left-channel duties), as that better suits our system arrangement.Don’t expect it to drive electrostatic or planar headphones but tested using my PSB M4U-4 and Grado SR-60e headphones, the headphone amp yields a very satisfactory result. When the horns blast in, I could hear them very clearly, as well as the string filigree that often gets lost in a welter of sound, especially in mono. One of the driving forces of the TUK speakers is the specialised AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeters. Some of them are in the middle, some of them are off to the left, and some of them are off to the right. If you prefer to set individual EQ settings for each input, you can activate BTM by holding the “Play / Pause” button for 5 seconds.

The brightness of the input display is also adjustable so you can dim or fully turn off the LEDs if you prefer. She has such an incredible control of the volume and slam of her voice, and uses it to tear through the listener. Fitzgerald’s voice, too, is center stage, in front of the bass, and all four swing like there’s no tomorrow. As an indirect result, the manufacturer can also save some money, since the amplifier is easier to make which, in turn, allows them to design a better amplifier and/or use better speaker drivers. Simplify your audio setup and easily switch between sources to enjoy your favorite content without the need for complicated configurations.The soaring effect of his guitar swirling around the stage (from performing with multiple amps in stereo configurations) was all right where it should have been. Feel free to disable automatic power-down if you don’t want any interruptions waiting for the speakers to turn on – that way, the speakers are ready for casting at any time. We play Space Oddity and David Bowie’s stirring, sombre lyrics resonate with texture in a refreshing, engaging presentation as the distant countdown to lift-off begins. The new Andro features Knowles' new dual diaphragm BA drivers and employs a more comfortable shell design.

The automatic 80Hz roll off that occurs when mated to the SUB8 allows the system to work as a single unit, and balances the presentation nicely.Bass was woollier, with less definition than the digital connection and treble didn’t have quite the same extension with less precise imaging, however, as the tonality was very similar, it is not a huge drop in quality unless under direct comparison. There is a bass reflex port on the back of each speaker and, while Kanto says the ideal placement is at least 20cm from a rear wall, we find that placing them around 15cm away from the wall of our listening room shows them at their best. The DAC has maximum resolution of 24-bit/96kHz, and the Tuk’s array of inputs let you connect just about any device, from turntable to Bluetooth. If you like to use banana plugs, these can use those as well, since they’ve got 5 way binding posts, which are actually pretty nice.
