Setup is at the top of the stairs in a split-level on the sitting room (living room) side. I did opt for the Sub8 for the extra bass. Source is an Ocean Digital WR-50 (not a DAC or streamer but I didn't need those features). Using the optical connection between the source and the speakers.
These things are awesome. Clean and loud! They will fill the entire house with sound loud. The sub does add a bunch to the setup with the crossover. I like my music bright with good mid-range and highs. Cranking the volume up results in almost no distortion. In some repect they can get too loud (which is unbelievable).
My only peeve is the remote conrol because there is no easy way to see where the current settings stand to adjust them. You have to either pop all the way up or down and then adjust from there for the bass and treble. I only use the speakerswith one source so I have nothing to say about source switching.
As can be seen in the picture my grills are not grey (which come with the White speakers). I contacted Kanto to get a set of Black grills so the TUKs would match the Sub8. Never be afraid to ask.
It is a bit of an expensive setup but it is worth it.
As for my source, it is not super hifi tech like you would get with an expensive DAC for high quality streaming content. I bring this up because I don't use this system often so I have no need to spend money on an expensive DAC or streaming services (monthly cost). I mosty use the FM Radio, Internet Radio and media files (ripped CDs) for music. For not so high quality sources, the TUKs are still killing it! If you are looking for something to front-end any powered speakers on the somewhat cheap (<$200) The Ocean Digital WR-50 is a great source.

Product Description
Delivering clarity and performance that put it in a class of its own, TUK is designed to push the limits on what a bookshelf speaker can achieve. Fine-tuned with onboard DSP, its high-performance AMT tweeters and 5.25” aluminum drivers produce sparkling highs and rich bass, bringing life to all your source material. Its active crossover further improves low-end resolution by filtering out sub-80Hz frequencies when connected to a subwoofer. Outfitted with dedicated phono, RCA and Optical TOSLINK inputs, a built-in USB DAC and headphone amp, and Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD and AAC codecs, TUK provides the flexibility you need to enjoy all your devices.
What's in the box?
- Speakers (2)
- Power cord
- Infrared remote
- Speaker wire
- Fabric speaker grille
- RCA to 3.5mm cable
- USB DAC Cable
- Rubber feet (8)
Along with Optical and RCA inputs, TUK includes an independent phono input for your turntable, a USB DAC, a dedicated headphone amp, and Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD and AAC codecs for high fidelity streaming.
TUK features integrated digital signal processing (DSP), designed to optimize audio quality and provide greater accuracy in sound reproduction.
When enabled, TUK's active crossover filters out frequencies below 80Hz and sends them directly to a connected subwoofer. Off-loading this portion of the frequency range further improves resolution while reducing distortion.
Packed with functionality, TUK’s remote allows you to make quick input, volume, tone and balance adjustments, as well as control playback when streaming via Bluetooth.

Full disclosure, I bought the speakers when it was discounted from 899 to 499. that price makes sense to me for home office desk speakers.
A top-notch quality of materials And supreme sound, a bit expensive though
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2022
I like to buy premium products for my home usage and not cheap out, but no doubt that $900 Price tag is a lot for home office usage.
Luckily with The discounted price I managed to get them Eventually after keeping my eyes Open for a discount for five months.. And I’m very happy with the purchase, they match beautifully to my white desk set up.
I started Using them out of the box with no stand usage as shown in the pictures.
Then got metal angled stands. They had great quality and excellent with directing the sound towards the listener ears, but it didn’t leave any space on my table/:
so I switched to New and higher 9 inch stands that gives me more room and space for other items on my table, plus I think it looks even more beautiful and gives it a a clean aesthetic.
It comes with the remote and lots of ports and exits for you to utilize for your set up, and it just makes me relax when I’m future proofing the setup with electronic purchase that way.
I’m very happy with all of the functionality except One thing that drives me crazy , the switching of the different audio Presets/output…
which require numerous times of clicking and pressing.
Even the new fancy remote make you switch between them one by one/:
For example if you wanna switch through: Phono, RCA, OPT, USB, Bluetooth.
It will require you to click on the same button for time just to get from Bluetooth mode to USB mode, if the speaker is in sleep mode than five times. You get my drift.
at first I was looking at audio engine brand as well, or previous older models of Kanto speakers, but I decided I want the best of the best and after long few weeks of Research I chose Play is this tuk speakers on my list, and just wait several months for it to be discounted.
which I highly recommend on doing.

UNBOXING
Upon opening, it was really well packaged from Kanto, they had thick styrofoam from top to bottom, covered with a double cardboard box snuggled in. It came with everything that was mentioned in the description.
SETUP
Setting up the DAC with the PC is pretty much plug and play, the audio quality is quite astonishing on its own.
Setting up with Bluetooth was such a breeze in the park, all I had to do was push the front knob to search and/or on the remote button. The speaker knows when there's audio playing from the source and it will automatically connect and start playing, which is super nice, so you don't have to go to the Bluetooth settings every time, as long as it remembers your device.
AUDIO EXPERIENCE - 1 YEAR
in terms of audio quality, as a casual listener. I really do enjoy listening to these speakers, but they can get a little fatiguing a bit. There are two ways to prevent this: turn down the treble by -3 (or more) on the remote, I found out that it is around in the 3K to 5Khz range is very high in the graph out of the box. You can also get EQ APO on windows to adjust it which I have done; it really made the speakers sufficiently better in terms of clarity, separate instruments and bass in long listening sessions. *ITS WORTH DOING*
Going through all the songs and movies you've enjoyed is a whole new experience with these, the bass is beautiful for its size, you wouldn't need a subwoofer.
DISLIKE
The one thing I didn't like was that you're kind of forced to use the remote or get up to the speakers to switch the options you want to play in (PHONO, RCA, OPT, USB, BT), would really love to see Kanto make a dedicated App and buttons for controls in the next line up.
Needs EQ APO if you want to get most of these speakers, but it's quite easy to set it up.
Other than that, it sounds great out of the box.
