Kanto ORA4 140W Powered Reference Speakers with Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C Input | 4” Woofers with Deep Bass Extension | Bi-Amplified | 80 Hz Automatic Crossover | Reference Quality Sound | Pair | Black

I have tested a lot of speakers in my days and I'm not surprised by much but these are a different story. The first thing I did was put them on some speaker stands and sit 5-6 feet back and played a bunch of different types of music. These are not large speakers. There very light and small. Like 8 inches tall. I was not expecting much bass below like 40-50 hz but when I played some test songs that have some 29-45hz bass and these speakers actually produced all of it. Down to 35hz I am getting a strong bass response something I didn't expect. They only have 4 inch woofers. I can even faintly hear bass tones down to 29hz. This is confirmed when I did a frequency response measurement with good bass down to 35hz. Than it rolls off quick below that. I have the klipish the fives and the are know for there size defying bass and yes they have more bass like double but the kantos go just as deep in a cabinet half the size. I also compared them to my edifier 2850db speakers that are huge with 8 inch woofers. They have decent bass but for 8 inch woofers there not as impressive as they could be but still some bass down to 30 -35hz. Similar frequency response to the ora 4. The ora 4 is like 8 times smaller and they dont sound weak in bass va the edifier which is wild. Edifier have more bass but the difference its not as big as the size difference would indicateThe other great thing about these speakers is the balance of the sound as you increase volume. A lot of speakers will stop increasing bass above like 70% while the mid and high frequency get really loud making the sound unbalanced. This is what the fives do. But the kantos are just as balanced at max volume as they are at 40% also no distortion as all when pushed to max. The tuning is perfect and the sound is so clean and just on the warm side. This will prevent listening fatigue with long jam sessions. I plan on adding a kanto 8 inch sub soon just to get some more volume and fullness in my large room. I have them mounted to the wall 7 feet apart. I can use them with my TV if I want or just listen to music.I hightly recommend these speakers. It's weird they don't feel super premium when you hold them and feel the plastic there made if. But when they play music it all goes out the window. Also placement maters. Intried these on my desk and I where I was sitting was cancelling out the deeper bass and they didn't sound as big. But in my room where there mounted and I sit at the opposite wall the bass sounds huge. Rooms will always have areas where bass sounds super strong and deep and some spots where it almost disappears. Finding the right spot is important with these speakers.

Los parlantes son realmente una locura. Depende mucho para que lo quieras usar. Si son para usar en escritorio o como bookshelf speaker para un cuarto pequeño van muy bien.El sonido es claro y tiene muy buenos bajos. Los bajos son limpios. No empantanan la música pero son contundentes. No son bajos exagerados sino que son precisos. Me quede sorprendido con lo buenos que son estos parlante.Algo a tener en cuenta es la disposición y dirección. Tienen que estar apuntando a donde vas a estar sentado xq sino se pierde un poco la experiencia de audio.Escuchaba música con un LG pk7 parlante bluetooth. La verdad que pasar a los kanto ora4 es un mundo de diferencia que realmente vale la pena. Da placer escuchar música así.En un futuro voy a agregar un subwoofer pera sacarles mas jugo. Aunque por ahora son suficientes así.

Good sound once broken in after a few hours. I went from a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 which believe it or not, they sound amazing. It just doesn't have more detail or wider soundstage like the Ora'4s. I do like them. I also got the stands to match the white speakers. My desk is a black Secret Lab Magnus Pro with all accessories and that is how I have my set up, it's clean, simple and efficient. The speakers aesthetically compliment my set up. The only knocks I have is (actually two) 1. They should have been made for a higher output. My Klipsch was louder but not as clean. 2. a direct optical port on the back of the speaker. I was between Adam Audio T5V and Kali LP6, in the end I chose the compromise of paying about $100 -$125 less for each) less. I caught the Kanto Ora 4's in a one day price drop so I pulled the trigger. I played with them for days, also downloaded Boom Audio app for added sound tailoring and flexibility. Even then my inner conscious was begging for more and I began to second guess my choice. I finally added a sub I had in storage, a HSU STF2. It's an old school high quality musical sub (excellent condition) and it made a huge difference! You have to with the ORA4s, when a subwoofer is connected, and the active crossover is enabled, when enabled you should be able to set the crossover to the highest/most open setting that way (on the sub) all of the lows once the Ora's crossover auto kicks over then the sub does the heavy lifting sonically and the Ora's really shine. For the price I got them for I feel was worth it. My next choice was the Adam Audio T5V. Maybe one day.

I love these speakers! They're a little pricey, but they sound great, especially when paired with a subwoofer.I do wish they automatically switched inputs, it took me a few minutes to figure out that they default to analog input (even if USB is the only thing connected), and you have to press in the power/volume button to switch them to USB-C. (The light changes from green for analog to yellow/white for USB and blue for bluetooth.)A headphones jack on the front would be nice to have. (One on the back would also be nice, but you can use a 1/8" to RCA cable there.)
