Hi-res Audio with Low-space Design
According to Sweetwater home audio experts, Kanto's flagship Tuk speakers stand out among others in this price range due to their included aptX HD codec. This enables you to wirelessly stream hi-res audio over Bluetooth when connected to a device that supports aptX HD; however, Tuk speakers also include standard aptX and AAC codecs for great wireless audio regardless of device. Furthermore, Tuk speakers boast Kanto's first-ever crossover network, which filters out frequencies below 80Hz when paired with a subwoofer. Even without these next-level features, you'd still be treated to pristine audio courtesy of the Tuk speakers' Class D amplifier delivering 65 watts (RMS) to each channel, Air Motion Transfer (AMT) tweeters, aluminum drivers, and bass reflex port. Finally, the Tuk speakers are a cinch to connect thanks to onboard RCA, TOSlink, and USB connections, and a breeze to control with the included remote.
aptX HD codec support
Tuk speakers feature Bluetooth 4.2 and support for Qualcomm AAC, aptX, and aptX HD codecs. While they all guarantee awesome audio, aptX HD is particularly noteworthy, as it lets you stream better-than-CD-quality audio wirelessly with any device that also supports aptX HD. Simply put, Kanto Tuk speakers help you create a hi-res audio playground at a price that won't break the bank.
AMT tweeters for top-notch top end
Compared to standard dome tweeters, AMT tweeters are lighter in weight for enhanced reactivity, and their pleated construction also moves more air. Additionally, their rectangular shape reduces the amount of audio being reflected off the floor and ceiling. It all adds up to ultra-responsive top end with utmost clarity.
Considerate connections
We also need to point out the Tuk's excellent connectivity options, especially the dedicated phono preamp and the USB input. First, the dedicated phono preamp streamlines your turntable-based setup by eliminating the need to either flip a switch or have two separate analog sources sharing the same RCA input. Second, the USB input does the same for your computer-based setup by supporting audio up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. This means you won't need to drop further coin on an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
