In this post, I would like to compare several speakers that are relatively small in size and are suitable as desktop speakers.
| Kanto YU2 | Kanto ORA | Kanto ORA4 | Edifier M601 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| price2 | 269€ | 399€ | 499€ | 149€ |
| size (cm) | 13.5D x 10W x 15H | 14.1D x 10W x 17.5H | 16.9D x 11.4W x 20.7H | 14.7D x 10W x 16.8H |
| tweeter | 3/4” | 3/4” | 3/4” | 1” |
| woofer | 3” | 3” | 4” | 3” |
| bluetooth | no | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.3 |
| wired input | AUX to AUX and USB | RCA3 to AUX and USB-C | RCA to AUX and USB-C | AUX to AUX and USB-C |
| stand included | no | no | no | yes |
When you turn on the kanto speaker (via the volume button), you hear apparent noise in the power adaptor, which is annoying.
