Kanto Ren Powered Speakers Review Discussion

Kanto Ren powered speakers retail for $700/pair and feature a 5 1/4" aluminum woofer, a 1" silk dome tweeter, and 50 watts of amplification per speaker. They come in a variety of finish options, along with optional stands that make them easy to set up in either a desktop or floor-standing environment. The Ren offer extensive connectivity, including HDMI ARC, making them a compelling alternative to a soundbar. In this video, we discuss our written review with James Larson and cover the measurements, pros and cons, and the ideal applications for these speakers. 👉 Read our Kanto Ren Review: https://www.audioholics.com/bookshelf-speaker-reviews/kanto-ren 🛒 Buy Kanto Ren:https://audioadvice.io/4hXoJ4F 🛒 Buy Kanto TUK: https://audioadvice.io/4ibs4wn 🛒 Buy MartinLogan Abyss 8 sub: https://audioadvice.io/3XBx5pG 🛒 Denon DP-3000NE: https://audioadvice.io/3F2KEbF 🛒 Hi-Fi Rose RS250A Streamer: https://audioadvice.io/3JZ6BLf 🛒 Anthem STR Integrated Amp: https://audioadvice.io/4pqcbp1 Shop Audio Advice: https://audioadvice.io/3NQEIDf Recommended Subwoofers: Perlisten D15s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenD15s Perlisten R212s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR212s Perlisten R210s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR210s Arendal 1961 1S or 1V: https://bit.ly/Arendal1961sub Arendal 1723 1S Sub: https://bit.ly/Arendal17231Ssub Recommended AV Separates Trinnov Altitude 32: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude32 Trinnov Altitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 8: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude8 Anthem AVM 70: https://audioadvice.io/40yMpFM Anthem AVM 90: https://audioadvice.io/3YySzDr Anthem MCA 323 Gen 2: https://audioadvice.io/3UQJBA2 Anthem MCA 525 Gen 2: https://audioadvice.io/4exQI7B Recommended AV Receivers: Onkyo TX-RZ70: https://audioadvice.io/4fbRoRs Denon AVR-X3800H 9.2CH AV Receiver: https://audioadvice.io/3AxgmeH Anthem MRX1140: https://audioadvice.io/3YzxZTl Anthem AVM 90 15.4CH Processor: https://audioadvice.io/3YySzDr Yamaha R-N2000A: https://tidd.ly/41jHOHN Yamaha R-N1000A: https://tidd.ly/3ZnkEhf Recommended Speakers: Polk R700 Tower Speakers: https://audioadvice.io/3C0TK2B Monolith Encore T6: https://bit.ly/EncoreT6 Klipsch RP-8000F II Tower Speakers: https://audioadvice.io/3445l4A Arendal 1723S Tower Speakers: https://bit.ly/Arendal1723s Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8: https://bit.ly/ArendalTower1528 Arendal Sound 1528 Center+ 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-center-plus-8/?refer=gds Arendal Sound 1528 Monitor 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-monitor-8/?refer=gds Perlisten S7t Limited Edition: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7tLE Perlisten S7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7towers Perlisten R7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR7t Perlisten R5t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR5t Perlisten S3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS3ic Perlisten R3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR3ic Audioholics Recommended Cables: 250ft CL2 12AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/2vwS9QH 50ft 10AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/3DeMTT5 Locking Banana Plugs: https://amzn.to/2ZQt15x 9ft 4K HDR HDMI Cables: https://amzn.to/2WiIXeD Klipsch RP-8000F II: https://amzn.to/3M2Mt8n THX Short Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-short THX Long Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-long 00:00 - Intro 1:45 Kanto Stands 2:15 Kanto Ren Specs 3:50 Kanto Ren Connections 4:45 Kanto Ren Test Conditions 6:00 Kanto Ren Measurements 10:12 Kanto Ren Treble Controls 11:15 Kanto Ren Bass Controls 12:12 Kanto Ren Grilles on or Off? 12:15 Kanto Ren Bottom Line 14:35 HDMI Arc 15:50 Subwoofer Output 17:30 Competing Powered Speakers 20:25 Auto Off Issue?
