Kanto Yu4 vs Yu5.25 Passive Speakers...

Hype… it’s a bastard isn’t it? My latest hype suck-in has been the Kanto Yu Passive 5.25 speaker. It ends as many “hype purchases” do, with disappointment and a return. That’s not to say the Kanto Yu4 and the Kanto Yu5.25 don’t have their merits, they just aren’t for me.

(just so you’re aware, I realize these speakers have been out for awhile, but I just found out about them, hence the “hype” status for me)

Please drop in the comments if you’re interested in more stereo / hifi reviews with speakers and amps. I’m playing right now, and am considering trying a few vids.
