I had the KANTO YU-5s, the predecessor to the current YU-6 model.
i bought them brand new because their sonic performance were a notch above the AUDIOENGINE A5+ in my A-B shootout experience.
why change?
I sold the KANTOs and bought the the made-in-France TRIANGLE SENSA SN03As after I auditioned these active speakers at a dealer.
The active TRIANGLEs also have the phono preamp, assorted inputs, Bluetooth, etc. as standard .
(1) IMO, they are another notch above the KANTOs for music . They have a larger soundstage, overall dynamics and bass slam.
(2) My first set of KANTOs failed catastrophically suddenly after 1 month , and were replaced by KANTO cheerfully. The replacements operated without further issues for the next 2+ years when I sold them.
(3) Summary: the KANTOs are good in their own right, but the TRIANGLEs are better IMO.
Highly recommended ...go audition them. I run them in my “D” system along with a subwoofer in a 2.1 setup system with a smile.
PS They also have a smaller “01A” model FWIW ....
