Canadian audio innovator Kanto Audio is set to captivate audiophiles at High End Munich 2025, presenting its 2025 speaker range at booth H2, K06. The lineup, featuring the award-winning REN, compact ORA and ORA 4, and the highly anticipated UKI making its European debut, showcases Kanto’s signature blend of style, connectivity, and sound quality.
“It’s great to be at Munich with our new look and full speaker range as we look to widen our presence in Europe at speed in 2025,” said Brett Smalley, Kanto Marketing Director.
UKI: Affordable Hi-Fi for a New Generation
The star of the show is the Kanto UKI, a compact bookshelf speaker priced at £199/$199/CA$219, designed to bring high-fidelity audio to both newcomers and seasoned listeners. Unveiled at CES 2025, the UKI features a distinctive clamshell design with curved edges, available in four matte finishes: black, white, cobalt, and sage. Its 6.35mm silk dome tweeter and 7.6cm concave cone midrange/woofer promise exceptional clarity, while connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C, RCA, a subwoofer output, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Set for release in the second half of 2025, the UKI is poised to redefine budget-friendly Hi-Fi.
REN: The Flagship Experience
The Kanto REN, priced at £599/€719/$599/CA$799, is the flagship of Kanto’s lineup, tailored for living room setups with vinyl or TV integration. Available in black, blue, grey, white, and orange, the REN offers Bluetooth, HDMI ARC, and RCA inputs, making it a versatile choice for modern audio systems. Paired with Kanto’s SX30 speaker stands, the REN delivers a full-bodied Hi-Fi experience with robust bass and crisp highs, earning accolades for its performance and aesthetic.
ORA and ORA 4: Desktop Audio Redefined
For desktop enthusiasts, the ORA and ORA 4 speakers bring premium sound to compact spaces. Designed with custom stands, these models excel in small setups, offering connectivity like USB DAC, Bluetooth, and RCA inputs. The ORA 4, priced at $399 USD, is ideal for audiophiles seeking detailed sound for desktop or near-field listening, making it a perfect match for modern turntables or computers.
A Bold New Look for Europe
Kanto’s 2025 range introduces a refreshed aesthetic, emphasizing sleek, organic designs that stand out from traditional boxy speakers. The company is also seeking to expand its European footprint, with Smalley expressing interest in meeting new distributors at the event. High End Munich 2025, held from May 15–18, provides the perfect stage for Kanto to connect with Europe’s audiophile community and showcase its plug-and-play active speakers.
