Quite well measuring candidate for a desktop system.

Decent spin.

Would be severely SPL limited, due to a 3” woofer, so a computer setup is suitable.

Underrated post imo, for $350 the horizontal directivity looks incredible esp in relation to response

I really like the minimal design, without the volume knob it would be even better...
Does someone have measurements of the Kanto Ora 4? Which is the slightly bigger sister and has a little more power.

With the Kanto UKI they will also bring Genelec style "eggs".

First time seeing this review, thanks for posting.

It helps to reinforce my belief that I “did” eventually make the correct choice in buying Kanto Ora, Kanto Sub8 and Wiim Ultra for a mates kids Xmas + 17th birthday, all in thread below.

It was his birthday on Tuesday so he’s got the sub connected up and loving it, I’ll pop over on Saturday and set it all up as “correctly” as possible using the Wiim room correction software/peq.

System for a 16yr old, could I do better than this?

It’s for a mates kid as a Xmas present, he’s into vinyl and currently uses a very cheap all in one unit with inbuilt speakers but on visits to drop shopping & stuff at mine/listen to my system, he has been casually asking me about better turntables so I’ve cleared it with his mum that I can buy...
