I can hear them comfortably in every corner of my 2000 sq ft single-level home. **Q: I am getting these Kanto yu6 speakers for my desktop pc, can i just use an optical cable from my motherboard to the speaker instead of rca?** A: Dorian,Definitely use optical if your motherboard supports it. Digital connections are not susceptible to interference / noise which is very common when using the analog outputs of on-board audio. Feel free to contact us directly using the support button on our website if you have any additional questions, thanks. **Q: Has anyone tried a vintage turntable with these speakers yet> thanks** A: The amp does a decent job with my turntable - you'll need to play with the volume and balance a little to get it where you like it, but it works well. **Q: Why are there no professional reviews out on the internet web?** A: https://www.audioadvice.com/content/2017/07/21/kanto-yu2-yu4-yu6-speaker-comparison/ https://www.wifihifi.ca/LatestNewsHeadlines/Hands-onReview:KantoYU6PoweredSpeakers.html https://www.soundandvision.com/content/kanto-yu6-powered-speaker-system-review ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***Y on 17 June 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***N on 17 November 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***G on 31 July 2020* ## Frequently Bought Together - Kanto YU6MB Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Bluetooth and Phono Preamp | Pair | Matte Black - Kanto SUB8VMB Sealed Powered Subwoofer | 300W Peak Power | 8" Woofer | Matte Black - Kanto S6 Tilted Desktop Speaker Stands for Large Bookshelf Speakers & Full-Size 5”-7” Studio Monitors | Supports 20 lbs | Damping Foam Padding | ¼”-20 Mounting | Pair | Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/258065731-yu6-powered-speakers-with-bluetooth-and-phono-preamp-matte-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/258065731-yu6-powered-speakers-with-bluetooth-and-phono-preamp-matte-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
