Grand Scale, Serious Hi-Fi Performance
The Kanto TUK Grand 2nd Generation takes the successful TUK concept and expands it into a larger, more powerful and more immersive active speaker system. Designed for listeners who want the simplicity of powered speakers without compromising on genuine hi-fi performance, TUK Grand combines sophisticated drivers, Class-D amplification and DSP in a beautifully finished cabinet.
With 160W RMS and 320W peak power, a larger 6-inch aluminium woofer and a redesigned Air Motion Transformer tweeter, TUK Grand is built to deliver greater scale and deeper bass while remaining remarkably straightforward to use.
A New Generation of TUK
The second-generation TUK Grand represents a significant development of Kanto's premium powered-speaker platform. Its larger cabinet provides increased internal volume, allowing the new 6-inch aluminium concave woofer to extend down to an impressive 40Hz.
The result is a presentation with greater low-frequency authority and room-filling scale, making TUK Grand particularly well suited to larger listening spaces where a compact powered speaker may struggle to deliver the same sense of presence.
Air Motion Transformer Tweeter
At the top end, TUK Grand uses a 28 x 35mm Air Motion Transformer tweeter. This type of driver is capable of extremely quick response, helping reproduce high-frequency detail with precision and clarity.
Kanto has redesigned the AMT for the new generation with the aim of delivering smoother, more natural highs and greater detail. Combined with the carefully developed waveguide, the tweeter is designed to maintain clarity and balance across a wider listening area.
320 Watts of Integrated Power
TUK Grand is a genuinely active loudspeaker, with its amplification built directly into the system. Class-D amplification provides 160W RMS and up to 320W peak power, while custom DSP tuning allows Kanto to precisely optimise the interaction between the drivers, cabinet and amplification.
This integrated approach gives TUK Grand the ability to produce a controlled and cohesive presentation while providing plenty of headroom for more dynamic recordings.
Designed for Real-World Listening
One of the most appealing aspects of TUK Grand is its versatility. Rather than requiring a separate amplifier, DAC and collection of source components, the speakers provide a comprehensive range of connections built into the system.
There are dual RCA line-level inputs, optical digital input supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz, USB-C audio supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive, AAC and SBC. A dedicated subwoofer output with selectable 80Hz filtering also makes it easy to expand the system when additional low-frequency extension is required.
A Speaker Designed to Be Seen
Kanto has also given TUK Grand a more sophisticated physical presence. The hand-built cabinets use high-density acoustic MDF with premium real-wood veneers and hand-polished lacquer finishes, complemented by aluminium detailing and the distinctive metallic driver treatment.
The larger proportions give TUK Grand a confident presence in the room, while the overall design remains clean and contemporary. Available in Matte Black, Matte White and Matte Walnut, it is a speaker designed to look as considered as it sounds.
A More Immersive Listening Experience
The combination of the larger cabinet, 6-inch woofer, AMT tweeter and DSP gives TUK Grand a presentation that feels bigger than its relatively compact footprint suggests. Bass reaches deeper, dynamics have greater authority and the overall sound has the scale needed to comfortably fill a larger room.
At the same time, the redesigned AMT and controlled DSP tuning are intended to maintain balance and clarity, allowing vocals, acoustic instruments and fine recording details to remain clearly defined within the larger presentation.
Why We Recommend the Kanto TUK Grand
We like TUK Grand because it delivers many of the advantages of a traditional hi-fi system without the complexity. There is no need for a separate amplifier or DAC, yet you still get substantial power, multiple digital and analogue inputs, high-resolution USB-C audio and a dedicated subwoofer connection.
More importantly, the second-generation design places genuine emphasis on the listening experience. The larger cabinet and woofer bring a convincing sense of scale, while the AMT tweeter and DSP provide the precision needed to keep the presentation detailed and controlled.
For listeners looking for a powerful, modern active speaker system that can handle everything from streaming and digital sources to conventional analogue components, TUK Grand is an impressively complete solution.
Kanto's Most Ambitious Powered Speaker
The TUK Grand 2nd Generation represents Kanto's move into a more ambitious level of powered hi-fi. With 320W peak power, a 6-inch aluminium woofer, AMT tweeter, DSP and extensive connectivity, it combines serious acoustic performance with the convenience of an active system.
It is a speaker designed for listeners who want more scale, more depth and more involvement from a system that remains simple to integrate into the home.
