Kanto Audio has confirmed pricing and final specifications for the Kanto Tuk G2 and Tuk Grand, its second-generation powered bookshelf speakers first previewed at AXPONA 2026 in April. The Tuk Grand flagship and the redesigned Tuk G2 are now both officially on sale, priced at $1199.99 CAD and $1099.99 CAD respectively, giving buyers the same acoustic platform in two different scales. The move follows Kanto’s original AXPONA debut, where early production units drew attention for pairing a shared driver and amplifier philosophy with two distinctly sized cabinets rather than a single one-size-fits-all design.
Kanto Tuk G2 and Tuk Grand: Same Philosophy, Different Scale
The Kanto Tuk G2 and Tuk Grand share a Kanto-designed 28mm x 35mm AMT tweeter paired with an Aircomb aluminum woofer, a Class-D amplifier with DSP, and the same connectivity suite, but scale that platform differently. The Tuk G2 uses a 5.25-inch woofer for 130W RMS (260W peak) and a 50Hz-22kHz frequency response in a 7.2 x 10 x 12-inch cabinet. The Tuk Grand steps up to a 6-inch woofer and 160W RMS (320W peak), reaching down to 40Hz in a larger 8.6 x 11.6 x 13.8-inch enclosure, giving it noticeably deeper bass extension and a bigger, room-filling soundstage.
Handmade Cabinets and Modern Connectivity
Both the Tuk G2 and Tuk Grand use high-density, acoustic MDF cabinets finished in real wood veneers or hand-polished lacquers, with laser-engraved aluminum cones and matching metallic waveguides carried across the range. Connectivity is identical on both models: Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive, USB-C for 24-bit/96kHz digital audio, optical TOSLINK, two RCA line-level inputs and a selectable 80Hz subwoofer crossover that hands bass duties to an external sub while the main drivers focus on mid and high frequencies. The Tuk G2 comes in five finishes — Matte Black, Matte White, Gloss Butter, Matte Burl and Matte Walnut — while the Tuk Grand ships in three: Matte Black, Matte White and Matte Walnut.
Refined DSP for All-Day Listening
Kanto says the new generation focuses on a wider sweet spot and a more natural tonal balance rather than just added power. A refined AMT waveguide helps preserve detail and clarity throughout the room, while reworked crossover tuning and smarter DSP aim for a balanced sound profile suited to extended listening sessions rather than a fatiguing, hyped response. Both the Tuk G2 and Tuk Grand ship with a pair of speakers, power cord, infrared remote, 15-foot speaker wire, an RCA-to-3.5mm cable and rubber feet, and can be paired with Kanto’s SX speaker stands for ear-level placement. For anyone upgrading from the original Tuk series, Kanto positions the new DSP tuning as the bigger change this generation, rather than a simple bump in rated output.
Kanto Tuk G2 and Tuk Grand Pricing and Availability
The Kanto Tuk G2 is priced at $1099.99 CAD and the Kanto Tuk Grand at $1199.99 CAD, both now available directly from Kanto Audio. This confirms final pricing and specifications for the pair first shown publicly at AXPONA 2026 in Chicago, and gives shoppers who already own the original Tuk series a clear sense of what the redesigned platform costs across both cabinet sizes.
