About this deal

TUK - Matte White is powered by a 130W RMS class D amplifier, sending 65W RMS to each channel and full digital signal processing (DSP) to tune the speakers exactly how we want them to sound. Make no mistake, this system will not handle being cranked up to foundation moving levels without serious breakup, but in normal to relatively aggressive listening levels it will present itself with poise, balance, and class.

You still have an RCA, phono, Bluetooth and USB input to connect to any other device that isn’t plugged into your TV. The Tuks’ reproduction of soundstages amazed me: broad and deep, and never seeming to come directly from the speakers. This was one track where I did miss a bit of the bottom end below 50Hz, but overall it was still very well balanced and had enough slam to still hit home.A good amount of the song is a few smaller and more delicate instruments, and these really excel at that. The speakers are, therefore, also easily removed should the user want to route more cables through the shaft. The dedicated LEDs provides you with visual confirmation, taking the guesswork out of which device you are using.

This subreddit is for the budget minded audiophile that wants to grow out of soundbars, boomboxes, mini systems, portable bluetooth, lifestyle speakers, and PC peripheral branded audio solutions.The majority of decisions are given instantly, so you could get your new gear sooner than you thought! We become aware of the TUK’s energetic ability when it comes to delivering a dynamic performance through the midrange frequencies, too. In all it was a terrible experience from a company that has poor quality control and terrible costumer service, I sent mine back for a refund and wished I never bought em. All material within this site is copyrighted and can not be reprinted or used in any form without our express written permission. What most impressed me was the Tuks’ reproduction of Gascoyne’s bass line, with every plink and plunk solid and well defined.

The bass was excellent, as focused as I could wish, though rolled off toward the very bottom of the audioband. Many years designing and manufacturing OEM products for large consumer electronics companies gave them the passion and understanding they needed to create a new brand with outstanding potential. Their rectangular shape limits vertical dispersion so that less audio is reflected off the ceiling and floor, while still maintaining a relatively wide horizontal dispersion. The low-mass diaphragm combined with low range of motion enables rapid acceleration and deceleration similar to an electrostatic driver but with huge sensitivity and velocity.When enabled, TUK’s active crossover filters out frequencies below 80Hz and sends them directly to a connected subwoofer.

Despite my appreciation for the extra bass, I did most of my listening without the Polk sub, to get the true aural measure of the Tuks. In my experience, connected to my Pixel 4 as opposed to through TOSLINK (utilising its internal DAC/AMP), Apt-X provided low enough latency to enjoy video content with minimal lip sync and range was easily adequate in my large room, with a rock-solid connection from a 10m line of sight distance. Most important, the Tuks sounded great, with good presence, and the ability to convincingly reproduce any sort of music. However, its function is vastly different as each pair of pleats move horizontally in opposing directions as opposed to longitudinally.headphone output on the front of TUK allowing you to use headphones with any audio source connected to the speaker. It replaces a traditional DAC, phono stage, preamplifier, and power amplifier by including all of them, built into one of its very small cabinets, and Bluetooth connectivity only increases its versatility. Kanto TUK Powered Bookshelf Speakers are designed to integrate smoothly with modern audio environments. This will activate an HPF / LPF network and send anything below 80 Hz to the subwoofer and anything above 80 Hz to the speakers.
