Kanto Audio TUK - Powered speakers | 59,980

As a no-fuss, plug-’n’-play option, the TUKs are as versatile as you like

Though hardly a household name in India, Canadian speaker firm Kanto Audio makes some very eye-catching speakers. The company’s diminutive, wireless YU5 model even graced the White House during Barack Obama’s tenure.

The TUK speakers take their name from Tuktoyaktuk, a remote hamlet in the Arctic Circle, where the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, can often be seen. Kanto claims to have emulated this thrilling visual experience in sound with its latest offering.

No amp required These powered speakers carry many of the features you’d expect of a complete music system, including aptX HD Bluetooth and both digital and analogue inputs. There’s even a moving-magnet phono stage. In short, you can connect a range of kit, including your phone, tablet, TV and turntable.

There’s also a headphone jack and a dedicated Sub Out RCA connector for integration with a separate subwoofer – Kanto recommends the Kanto sub6 or sub8 – but this isn’t essential.

The 28x35mm AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter and minimalist, 13cm aluminium woofer give the speakers a clean look, even though it’s a little plastic-heavy. The white finish of our model (also available in matte black) is highly likeable.
