Q: Are the Descriptions correct that Kanto YU speakers have a coax Sub out, but the Kanto Sub8 and Sub6 only have RCA (R + L) line levels in?

A: Nuthinbutthetruth, That's correct, if you're using our speakers you'd plug the sub output into the R or L inputs of the subwoofer. Feel free to contact us directly using the support button on our website if you have any additional questions, thanks.

Q: Will these speakers connect to a TV? Optical?

A: Davarino, YU6's can be connected to the TV using RCA, auxiliary, or optical inputs, depends on which audio outputs your TV has available. Please feel free to email us directly through the support button on our website and we'll be happy to help you out.

    Excellent choice with several option use.

    After reviewing several monitors from high ends, I came across the Kanto speakers from BestBuy.com. I saw other competitors but I truly liked the style and color of these. Once opened and connected through several options, the bass and tones were exceptional! A great buy and multi-use speakers. I use it for TV when watching movies, playing records, and Bluetooth capabilities made it even better!

    Loud and Clear

    Was looking for a compact but powerful set up for my living room without breaking the bank. I wanted to fill the room with a loud and clear sound with some punch without adding any more equipment. I am using the Kanto Y6's primarily with my turntable and Blue tooth for music only. After setup , which is very simple , I threw on a record and was pleased with the sounds that were coming from these speakers ,Bluetooth pairing was very simple as well . Bass and treble is easily adjusted from the remote and once dialed in, the sound was just what I was looking for. Plenty of volume to fill my living room without sounding thin. I found the bass and low ends to be sufficient. A subwoofer can be used with the Y6's for added low end as an output for one is included in the left speaker as well as a phono pre amp should your turntable not have one. After initial set up and testing , I paired these with the Kanto 26 inch speaker stands and with some positioning have created the big full sound I was looking for out of a compact set up. Great speakers for the price and what my goal was and fit in very nicely aesthetically with my living room decor.
