Clear, Bright Sound

By Diane
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-08-22

I like these speakers. Probably not a huge base, for you audiophiles, but the top is lovely. The only thing I really do not like is the volume dial on the rear. It's not convenient.

They may look small beside my 28 inch Samsung 4K monitor but the sound of these speakers is way better than one would expect.

How would these compare to something like the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX system?
Asked by: Allen
The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System includes a powerful 6.5" subwoofer with a pair of front firing satellite speakers with 3" woofers and together they offer a wide frequency response range of 35 Hz to 22 kHz. The Klipsch system has a 1/8" (3.5mm) input. The Kanto Living YU2 Powered Desktop Speakers have 3" woofers with a bass reflex port in the back to accentuate the low end frequencies and the system has a frequency response range of 80 Hz to 20 kHz. The Kanto system also has both a 1/8" (3.5mm) input and a USB input for a fully digital audio connection to a computer. A dedicated subwoofer connection allows you to add a powered subwoofer (available separately) if desired. Both systems include a headphone jack. The Klipsch system also has a removable control pod to adjust the speaker and subwoofer volume levels, and there is an aux input to connect a smartphone, tablet, or media player directly to the system.
