Product Details
Kanto Yu4 Passive (2nd Gen) Bookshelf Speakers
The Kanto Yu4 Passive is compact hi-fi driven by your own system — available at Vinyl Sound USA. It pairs 1" silk dome tweeters with 4" abaca-reinforced paper cone woofers for warm, balanced sound and flexible placement. This second-generation design brings natural detail and surprising depth to a compact speaker made for your choice of amplification.
Passive Design, Your Choice of Amp
Unlike the powered Yu4, the Yu4 Passive has no built-in amplification — connect it to your own amplifier, receiver, or integrated amp (compatible with 4-ohm speakers) to build the system your way. Each speaker handles 80W peak power (55W RMS), with a frequency response of 60 Hz–22 kHz for warm, detailed sound.
Abaca-Reinforced Drivers
1" silk dome tweeters and 4" abaca-reinforced paper cone woofers deliver natural detail and balanced tonality in a compact cabinet, bringing surprising depth to small rooms, desktops, and bookshelves.
Flexible Placement
A ¼"-20 threaded bottom mounting hole lets you fix the Yu4 Passive to stands and mounts, and included self-adhesive rubber feet keep them stable on a shelf or desk — for easy, flexible placement anywhere in your room.
