Kanto ORAME 100W Powered Reference Computer Computer Speakers with Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C Input | Bi-Amplified | 100Hz Auto Crossover | Quality Sound

The sound coming out of this tiny speaker is unbelievably good

Big upgrade on my Bose companion 20. Look great and sound great. Quite a lot of base for a small speaker. If you need a longer speaker cable as its only 6ft you can also get on amazon called "iK iLoud Micro Monitor Master-Slave Speaker Link Cable" took me a few goes to find the right cable

Amazing speakers. I had no idea that speakers this small could sound this good and the sound field makes it seem like the sound is coming from your monitor. I added the Kanto sub and have the best computer sound system I've ever owned. Setup was easy, the speakers have a very attractive design and the sound is amazing. I went with the matte gray. They are a little pricey but I feel the performance justifies the price.

Amazing speakers—especially at the sale price I paid! Tremendous, authentic sound quality without any coloration, which is exactly what I look for in a speaker. I want to hear audio as the creator intended, not overblown highs or lows. Because these speakers produce a flat response (and this is a good thing), the highs and lows stay smooth and aren’t fatiguing over long listening sessions. Bluetooth pairing works fine—though I don’t normally use it—and the USB‑C input works flawlessly with my setup. They get surprisingly loud for their size without distorting. They feel solid and well‑built, not like the flimsy plastic you get with many desktop speakers. I also own another pair of Kanto speakers, and based on that experience, the overall quality of Kanto products is exceptional IMHO. Add to that, these speakers came in pink—at least before I purchased one of the last pairs—and you have one happy girl. Even if you can’t get them in pink, these are fantastic speakers for your computer desk. My development and creative work, media, and games have never sounded better. I’m finally hearing content close to what the creator intended, rather than the exaggerated or masked sound you get from so many other speakers. Compared to my previous desktop speakers, these reveal details I didn’t even realize I was missing instead of the muddied mess those older speakers produced. My desk has never looked or sounded better.

For the size, the speakers produce clear sound and with such small foot print. They replace Bose Companion 2 Series II and clarity is noticeable and even with low volume level. I definitely recommend stands for them. I have Kanto S2 stands which fit perfectly with ORA. The sound is better with the stand as they angle upward to your ears and lying flat. This is similar to Bose Companion 2 which the speakers themselves are angled up (no stand needed). I tried briefly without stands and personally stands help with sound quality. Your preference may vary. I like the digitally encoded volume (it goes in steps) for the feel and in theory may last longer than analog one although with a trade off of each step may not produce the exactly sound level you want. It offers variety of connectivity which is good for future proof in case you need change in the future - decided to move to a dedicated DAC or decluster your wiring by going wireless with BT option. The build is great. The paint and surface are smooth with slight satin look (to my eyes). They came with generous length for connecting the two speakers together. I really like to give it 5 stars as they do everything right for overall main purposes (sounds, build, options) of being a good pair of desktop speakers. They are probably perfect for most users. However, but for those who use external DAC paired with MacOS, it has one issue. MacOS sends encoded sound with maximum volume level to external DAC (unlike Windows) and you cannot adjust it (volume level is greyed out on Mac) thus volume is under control by external components and here is with ORA. That is fine for general but when you start using speakers for the first time after power failure/loss , the sounds come out at full blast because ORA do not remember the volume setting prior to power loss. I understand this will add cost but still for those who use such arrangement will be left out and having to find other way to get around it.
