Kanto TUK GEN2

Two-way powered bookshelf speakers with AMT tweeters, USB-C, an optical input and Bluetooth 5.4 aptX Adaptive.

TUK GEN2: the design

The second-generation TUK have a 28 × 35 mm AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter and a 13 cm concave aluminium Aircomb woofer, rear-ported, with a 130 W RMS class D amplifier managed by a DSP. The cabinet is high-density MDF, larger than on the first series, with matte, wood or lacquered finishes. A remote control is included.

These are powered bookshelf speakers: they connect directly to the TV, computer and phone, with no separate amplifier. A switch sets them as the left or right channel; the subwoofer output has an 80 Hz crossover.
