Kanto YU4 Gen 2 Passive Bookshelf Speakers ā Pair
Bring impressive hi-fi sound into your home with the Kanto YU4 Gen 2 Passive Bookshelf Speakers. Designed for music lovers who prefer complete control over their audio system, these compact passive speakers combine carefully engineered drivers with a refined cabinet design to deliver clear, balanced and engaging sound. Supplied as a pair, they are ideal for traditional stereo systems, desktop audio setups and home cinema installations, giving you the flexibility to choose an amplifier or AV receiver that suits your listening preferences.
Detailed Sound with Impressive Bass Performance
The Kanto YU4 Gen 2 features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter that reproduces smooth, natural high frequencies with excellent clarity. Working alongside it is a 4-inch Abaca-reinforced paper cone woofer, engineered to produce a rich midrange and punchy bass response. With a frequency response extending from 60Hz to 22kHz, these bookshelf speakers deliver an enjoyable listening experience across a wide variety of music and entertainment.
The improved driver design provides greater tonal balance and clarity compared with previous passive models, making the YU4 Gen 2 suitable for extended listening sessions without sacrificing detail.
Flexible Amplification for Your Hi-Fi System
Unlike powered speakers, the Kanto YU4 Gen 2 does not contain an internal amplifier or power supply. Instead, its passive design allows you to pair the speakers with your preferred integrated amplifier, stereo receiver or compatible home cinema system.
Each speaker handles 55W RMS, giving a combined power handling of 110W RMS per pair, with up to 160W peak power across the pair. This provides flexibility when building a personalised audio system, whether you're creating a dedicated music setup or incorporating the speakers into a larger surround sound arrangement.
Compact Design with Versatile Placement
Designed to complement modern interiors, the YU4 Gen 2 features rigid MDF cabinets with a durable vinyl-wrapped finish. The solid cabinet construction helps minimise unwanted resonance, while seamless silicone dispersion rings around the drivers contribute to a cleaner appearance and improved sound dispersion.
Their compact proportions make them easy to position on bookshelves, desktops, media units or dedicated speaker stands. For additional installation flexibility, integrated 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points on the base allow compatible stands to be attached securely. Premium four-way knurled binding posts provide a reliable connection to your amplifier.
