What others are saying...

"I could tell SYD was a serious speaker the moment I heard Joni Mitchell singing “A Case of You” from 1971’s Blue. Her angelic voice was mesmerizing in a way I didn’t expect from a speaker this size, not to mention a 47-year-old recording — and I was streaming from my phone."

"The SYD's design fixed a problem I'd had with other systems — its horizontal layout allowed me to put it in front of my television (rather than one speaker on each side) so I could hear dialogue and sound effects from a perfectly centered position. It gave a real boost to anything I watched."

"Every type of music we played had that sweet pleasant sound we expect from much more expensive speakers. We were especially impressed when listening to Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five”. The percussion was very fast and accurate and we could actually hear a lot of tonality in the bass line."

"If you want a simple but great sounding system, where you don’t have to worry about running wires, and can connect to pretty much any audio source, then the SYD is for you."

"The Kanto SYD gave us exactly what we expected: highly refined, competent sound that really managed to hold its own when compared to other speakers in its price range."
