Product Details
Kanto Yu6 Passive (2nd Gen) Bookshelf Speakers
The Kanto Yu6 Passive delivers expansive sound driven by your own system — available at Vinyl Sound USA. It pairs 1" silk dome tweeters with 5.25" abaca-reinforced paper cone woofers for full-bodied, balanced listening. This second-generation design brings greater scale and natural detail to a speaker built around the freedom of external amplification.
Passive Design, Your Choice of Amp
Unlike the powered Yu6, the Yu6 Passive has no built-in amplification — connect it to your own amplifier, receiver, or integrated amp (compatible with 4-ohm speakers) to build your system your way. Each speaker handles 100W peak power (65W RMS), with a frequency response of 55 Hz–22 kHz for full-bodied, detailed sound.
Abaca-Reinforced Drivers
1" silk dome tweeters and larger 5.25" abaca-reinforced paper cone woofers deliver natural detail and greater scale than the compact Yu4 Passive, filling medium-sized rooms with warm, balanced sound.
Flexible Placement
A ¼"-20 threaded bottom mounting hole lets you fix the Yu6 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.
