My First Stereo Setup

Trying this again 😅

After hours of watching reviews and lurking on Reddit, I finally pulled the trigger on a pair of bookshelf speakers and an integrated amp:

Speakers: Kanto Yu Passives 5.25 Stands: Kanto SP26 Amp: Cambridge AXR100

So far, I've been really pleased with the sound profile. Well-balanced with crisp highs and solid mids. WAF is also pretty good, if I do say so myself. Love the white finish and minimalist design.

The Kantos can do better with bass though so I'm planning to add a subwoofer. I've also been limited to BT streaming so excited about the potential a turntable brings. Saving up for a Kanto Sub8 (mostly to keep within the same aesthetic theme) and the ATLP3 or Pro-ject A1 (fully automatic for a TT noob). Acoustic treatment too, as budget (and wife) allows.

Will update as my build progresses. Inputs on setup, sub, and TT options are welcome!
