Kanto YU6 Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Bluetooth and Phono Preamp - Pair
Overview
The Kanto YU6 is a step up for anyone who wants a full two-speaker system that can fill a larger room without adding a receiver or a separate amplifier. One speaker holds the amplification for both, so setup stays down to running speaker wire between the pair.
A built-in phono preamp with a switch on the RCA input lets a turntable connect directly, and Bluetooth, dual optical inputs, and an auxiliary jack handle everything else, from a TV to a computer to a phone.
A larger 5.25" woofer and more power on tap than the smaller YU4 make the YU6 the right call when the room itself is bigger, not just the source list.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
We point customers toward the YU6 over the YU4 when the listening space is a living room or a larger office rather than a desk — the bigger woofer and extra power make a real difference in a room with more air to fill. It's still a two-speaker system with no receiver to hide, so it fits in setups where a full component system isn't practical.

Why the Kanto YU6 Stands Out
Built-In Phono Preamp
A phono switch on the RCA input lets a turntable connect directly with no separate preamp required.
5.25" Kevlar Woofer & Silk Dome Tweeter
A larger Kevlar woofer paired with a silk dome tweeter delivers fuller sound suited to bigger rooms.
200 Watts Peak Power
Higher power handling than the smaller YU4 means more headroom for larger spaces.
Dual Optical Inputs
Two optical inputs mean a TV and a second source can both stay connected at once.
Bluetooth Streaming
Bluetooth 4.0 lets you stream from a phone or tablet without running a cable to the speakers.
Subwoofer Output
A dedicated subwoofer output makes it easy to add low-end extension later.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Living Room Listener: Wants a full two-speaker system that fills a larger room without a separate receiver.
- The Turntable Owner: Wants to run a record player directly into the speakers using the built-in phono preamp.
- The Room Upgrader: Has outgrown a smaller desktop speaker setup and needs more power and a bigger woofer.
How It Compares
The YU6 and the smaller Kanto YU4 share the same phono preamp, Bluetooth, and optical connectivity, but the YU6's 5.25" woofer and higher power handling are built for a larger room, while the YU4's smaller cabinet suits a desk or a space where size matters more than output.
