The second-generation Kanto YU4 Passive bookshelf speakers deliver powerful, balanced sound from a compact enclosure designed for use with your choice of external amplifier or receiver. Sold as a matched pair, YU4 Passive excels in traditional two-channel stereo systems, high-end desktop audio setups, or as front and surround channels in home theater systems.
Each speaker combines a precision 1-inch silk dome tweeter with a 4-inch Abaca-reinforced paper cone woofer. The natural abaca fibers provide superior damping and structural rigidity, resulting in smooth, airy highs, detailed midrange reproduction, and articulate bass extension down to 60 Hz. Rigid acoustic-grade MDF cabinets minimize unwanted resonance, while seamless silicone trim rings around the drivers actively reduce acoustic edge diffraction for a wide, uncolored soundstage.
Features:
- Second-Generation Passive Architecture: Clean, unamplified design lets you choose your ideal stereo amplifier or AV receiver.
- Abaca-Reinforced 4-Inch Woofers: Natural plant-fiber cone construction provides lightweight rigidity and tight, musical bass down to 60 Hz.
- 1-Inch Silk Dome Tweeters: Delivers smooth, airy high-frequency extension up to 22 kHz with zero listener fatigue.

- 4-Way Knurled Binding Posts: Heavy-duty gold-plated terminals accommodate banana plugs, spades, or bare speaker wire.
- Integrated 1/4"-20 Mounting Holes: Bottom-mounted threaded inserts ensure rock-solid coupling with compatible Kanto speaker stands.
