I like my music bright with good mid-range and highs. Cranking the volume up results in almost no distortion. In some repect they can get too loud (which is unbelievable).
My only peeve is the remote conrol because there is no easy way to see where the current settings stand to adjust them. You have to either pop all the way up or down and then adjust from there for the bass and treble. I only use the speakerswith one source so I have nothing to say about source switching.
As can be seen in the picture my grills are not grey (which come with the White speakers). I contacted Kanto to get a set of Black grills so the TUKs would match the Sub8. Never be afraid to ask.
It is a bit of an expensive setup but it is worth it.
As for my source, it is not super hifi tech like you would get with an expensive DAC for high quality streaming content. I bring this up because I don't use this system often so I have no need to spend money on an expensive DAC or streaming services (monthly cost). I mosty use the FM Radio, Internet Radio and media files (ripped CDs) for music. For not so high quality sources, the TUKs are still killing it! If you are looking for something to front-end any powered speakers on the somewhat cheap (<$200) The Ocean Digital WR-50 is a great source.

Along with Optical and RCA inputs, TUK includes an independent phono input for your turntable, a USB DAC, a dedicated headphone amp, and Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD and AAC codecs for high fidelity streaming. |
TUK features integrated digital signal processing (DSP), designed to optimize audio quality and provide greater accuracy in sound reproduction. |
When enabled, TUK's active crossover filters out frequencies below 80Hz and sends them directly to a connected subwoofer. Off-loading this portion of the frequency range further improves resolution while reducing distortion. |
Packed with functionality, TUK’s remote allows you to make quick input, volume, tone and balance adjustments, as well as control playback when streaming via Bluetooth. |

Simple, loud and pretty

Source is an Ocean Digital WR-50 (not a DAC or streamer but I didn't need those features). Using the optical connection between the source and the speakers.These things are awesome. Clean and loud! They will fill the entire house with sound loud. The sub does add a bunch to the setup with the crossover. I like my music bright with good mid-range and highs. Cranking the volume up results in almost no distortion. In some repect they can get too loud (which is unbelievable).My only peeve is the remote conrol because there is no easy way to see where the current settings stand to adjust them. You have to either pop all the way up or down and then adjust from there for the bass and treble. I only use the speakerswith one source so I have nothing to say about source switching.As can be seen in the picture my grills are not grey (which come with the White speakers). I contacted Kanto to get a set of Black grills so the TUKs would match the Sub8.

I bring this up because I don't use this system often so I have no need to spend money on an expensive DAC or streaming services (monthly cost). I mosty use the FM Radio, Internet Radio and media files (ripped CDs) for music. For not so high quality sources, the TUKs are still killing it! If you are looking for something to front-end any powered speakers on the somewhat cheap (<$200) The Ocean Digital WR-50 is a great source.

Soda can for size reference. Full disclosure: I am not an audiophile.
The Tuk's are a fantastic choice for anyone who is seeking powered speakers with great sound, looks and an abundance of connectivity options.
In my opinion they look gorgeous and the build quality is exceptional.
Music is where these speakers excel, hands down. TV/theater, not so much.
I have found myself indulging and experimenting with musical genres I might have otherwise never considered.
They are much larger than I was anticipating, hence the photo. However I must say it was a pleasant surprise. I must admit I have not paired them with a subwoofer yet, but I do look forward to doing so.
I would recommend these speakers to anyone who might be in the market for a pair, without hesitation.

UNBOXING
Upon opening, it was really well packaged from Kanto, they had thick styrofoam from top to bottom, covered with a double cardboard box snuggled in. It came with everything that was mentioned in the description.
SETUP
Setting up the DAC with the PC is pretty much plug and play, the audio quality is quite astonishing on its own.
Setting up with Bluetooth was such a breeze in the park, all I had to do was push the front knob to search and/or on the remote button. The speaker knows when there's audio playing from the source and it will automatically connect and start playing, which is super nice, so you don't have to go to the Bluetooth settings every time, as long as it remembers your device.
AUDIO EXPERIENCE - 1 YEAR
in terms of audio quality, as a casual listener. I really do enjoy listening to these speakers, but they can get a little fatiguing a bit. There are two ways to prevent this: turn down the treble by -3 (or more) on the remote, I found out that it is around in the 3K to 5Khz range is very high in the graph out of the box. You can also get EQ APO on windows to adjust it which I have done; it really made the speakers sufficiently better in terms of clarity, separate instruments and bass in long listening sessions. *ITS WORTH DOING*
Going through all the songs and movies you've enjoyed is a whole new experience with these, the bass is beautiful for its size, you wouldn't need a subwoofer.
DISLIKE
The one thing I didn't like was that you're kind of forced to use the remote or get up to the speakers to switch the options you want to play in (PHONO, RCA, OPT, USB, BT), would really love to see Kanto make a dedicated App and buttons for controls in the next line up.
Needs EQ APO if you want to get most of these speakers, but it's quite easy to set it up.
Other than that, it sounds great out of the box.
