About this deal

This is accompanied by an aluminium concave-cone woofer, all powered by a 65W per-channel amplifier. You don’t need a banana-prong cable, any wire of adequate gauge is suitable due to the screw-down connectors. The speakers are provided with an additional layer of protection in the form of felt draw string bags that prevent scratches and scuffs during transit. TUK comes with a remote so you can toggle inputs, and adjust bass/treble, volume level, even left and right channel balance with ease, just like the Kanto YU6 and SYD I previously reviewed. A good amount of the song is a few smaller and more delicate instruments, and these really excel at that.

She has such an incredible control of the volume and slam of her voice, and uses it to tear through the listener. Visit our amazing showroom in Hayes, West London to view, touch and listen to our Hifi and Surround sound display’s.The Phone input includes RIAA equalisation which elevates the bass for that warm, rich sound many have come to associate with vinyl and this means no external pre-amp is required. This is a huge convenience coming from some active speakers that have integrated power cords or proprietary interconnect cables, permitting much more flexible positioning. However, these channel assignments can easily be reversed using the remote control, as I had to do -- my only available power outlet was to the right of the right-hand speaker. 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.

Bass was woollier, with less definition than the digital connection and treble didn’t have quite the same extension with less precise imaging, however, as the tonality was very similar, it is not a huge drop in quality unless under direct comparison. To make the right speaker be your active speaker, press and hold the Next Track button for 5 seconds.

The removable speaker grills add another layer of protection so objects or curious hands can’t damage the aluminum woofer. I used the Hifiman Sundara, a planar magnetic headphone with a 93dB sensitivity and a 37ohm impedance. Taking a bit of a left turn I moved to Eric Johnson and his track "Manhattan" form his Venus Isle album. headphone output on the front of TUK allowing you to use headphones with any audio source connected to the speaker. As I look forward to the next ten years when I am into my mid 70s (God willing), I see a bright future for the possible downsizing I will face.

The diaphragm is a pleated film with conductive metal trace, in this respect, it resembles a planar driver. To listen to Joni is to fall madly in love with her talent, and the depth and breadth of her writing and musicianship. It piqued even higher when I finally got to listen to a demo of the TUK speakers at CES 2019 earlier this year.

The title song is one of the best workouts for a system when it comes to rhythm and pace I have ever heard. As an indirect result, the manufacturer can also save some money, since the amplifier is easier to make which, in turn, allows them to design a better amplifier and/or use better speaker drivers. First up I spun "It's Magic" from the same titled album on Venus Hyper Magnum Sound TKJV19180 by the Eddie Higgins Quartet featuring Scott Hamilton. We locate Joni Mitchell’s River, another FLAC file, but this time we listen through Grado’s SR125 headphones plugged into the master speaker. As I stated before, I credit the source material with this anomaly, rather than the speakers, because it was sporadic.
