Article: KANTO TUK vs. AIRPULSE A100

[blaven]

Thanks so much for the fun read.  I am in the position of desiring a nice sounding setup for near-field (2-3 feet) listening off a new mac-mini.

I need to really minimize the cabinet depth - hoping no more than 5-6".  I looked at the Kanto site and they have this YU2 that looked interesting.  I would be open to something really small + SW.  I was looking at KEF Egg.  Love my LS50's, but those LSX are too large. Audioengine?

 

I was really interested in those Martin Logans mentioned above by Sonis, but they would require amplification and I'm looking for simple here.

 

Depth is a bit frustrating as otherwise I'd be really interested in a few speakers, but these 8-10" depth speakers just wont work in my setup and I am guessing others reading might perhaps be in a similar scenario of really needing less cabinet depth (not really smaller size, but less depth) in a powered speaker like this

 

Thanks for any guidance and the interesting article and comments.

 

This is a rather interesting topic.

As a follow-up, due to space constraints, I ended up getting KEF Eggs and then found a used REL T-Zero Sub.  I'm loving life.  These things baffle me how well they image - voices coming straight out the center of the monitor. Have a built in DAC, etc, etc.

Don't want to derail the discussion, just following up, bringing up another cool desktop option, and of course, emphasizing that its a good time to be a computer audiophile :)

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone
