Kanto’s new ORA powered desktop speakers push their technology further than ever by introducing an active crossover, among other innovations. That gives these speakers a huge edge in refining the sound quality, but what kind of improvements does a DSP powered speaker have over a conventional one? We discuss the Kanto ORA's objective performance and how that translates to listening to music. The Kanto ORA is a very small 2-way active wireless desktop ported speaker system with a 3/4” fabric dome tweeter, 3" Paper Cone woofer and 50 watts of amplification (100 watts peak). At $350/pair, could this be the best sound per square inch money can buy? Watch our KZread video review discussion to find out.
