I LOVE my YU's. Have them setup on my desk with an iTouch as source. The near field sound is fantastic and imaging is awesome. The sound comes from right in front of me. I have them on the Kanto 9" stands. Plan on getting the YU Passive 5.25 for my main stereo system.
Kanto makes this new stripped down version with out the dedicated phono pre input and this guy goes straight to setting it up with a phono priceless. Is this really the direction this model was designed for?
