Am I crazy for preferring these Kanto YU powered bookshelf speakers over my Martin Logan motion 4i's?

I love my Kanto speakers too! I recently upgraded my living room from Kanto TUK to Martin Logan XT B100, and honestly I prefer the sound of the TUK. I just wish Kanto made a louder TUK. I have the Kanto yu2 as desktops and those are nice too.

What does your setup include/why?

You’ll know what you need as time goes on, you should really only get what you need. But with that said I think speakers might be your biggest upgrade, I used to wear my nova pros all day and although they were wireless I still found them annoying to be on my head all day.

200€ best speaker +subwoofer

I’m bit of a subwoofer snob, and so I don’t think that there would be any subwoofers in Europe anywhere close to your budget. (My personal opinion on a subwoofer is that it should get pretty close to 20Hz for it to qualify as a real subwoofer. And those kinds of products sadly aren’t cheap. In Europ

New Setup Complete!

https://a.co/d/06mDU0W Kanto YU2 speakers. Got them for 169 used on eBay but they are awesome. Def wait for them to go on sale cause they are pricey. I wish I went with the black ones instead honestly.

Bookshelf speakers

If it's for a battle station, then you're sitting in one place, so there's no need for 5.1. Surround sound was invented to compensate for different listening positions in movie theaters and couches. You can make all the same sounds with 2 well-aimed speakers for your 2 ears. If you're willing to go

2026 Battlestation Update

Ah very nice! I was eyeballing the Kanto YU2's with the SUB8 for a while, mainly because they had a walnut option. I never see them in stock anymore so I figured they've been replaced with the Ora series?

Portable (ish) speakers for vinyl and gaming

Totally, x5. the budget. Edifier have budget speakers but not much bass at this price point. Select ones that have a sub-option to get below 50/60 Hertz. See the spreadsheet at http://www.mcmullon.com/activespeakers.ods for specifications and dimensions. Rural MR1 MkIII are my retro vinyl choice wit
