Sometimes, though, a brand will hit nail squarely on the head.
And that is exactly what Kanto have done with their Ren speaker system.
Kanto Ren: Two-minute review
The Kanto Ren powered speaker system is, basically, ace.
Theres nothing lacking frequency-wise, with a rich and compelling responsiveness across the spectrum.
Some of thebest stereo speakerswe’ve tested in a while then?
Inside, theres some clever digital goings-on alongside the smart convenience displayed outside.
Good work, Ren!
For this price, and with their place in the market borne firmly in mind, theyre practically perfect.
Kanto Ren review: Design
The Kanto Ren speakers are, in a word, fetching.
the blue ones straddled our rather fetching orange TV stand.
A small niggle, though, presents in how stubbornly finger-marks stick to that fetching matte finish.
As far as practical design is concerned, the Rens serve well.
All told; the Kanto Ren system is designed beautifully, and considerately too.
Everythings clearly signposted, and you barely need the remote control map to know what youre pressing.
Should you buy the Kanto Ren?
Still, if youre wanting something thats more expressly home-cinema-coded, maybe give these a miss.
These are an active bookshelf offering, with optical, USB and RCA in amongst other I/O opportunities.
