While Audioholics reviews a wide gamut of home audio loudspeakers, we haven’t done very many desktop speakers. One reason is that it is a space filled with very cheap PC speakers that are more intended for bare sound reproduction and are not designed with fidelity in mind at all. We haven't covered much that looks at a normal pair of desktop speakers. However, in this review, we will be evaluating a pair of traditional desktop speakers as well as the corresponding subwoofer from their product line-up in the form of the Kanto Living ORA speakers and the Kanto sub8 subwoofer.
At $350, the ORA speakers are still on the high-end of the price range of what many desktop speaker shoppers are looking at, but those who want some desktop speakers that actually sound good probably understand that they will need to spend more than the trifling cost of so many generic Chinese imports from the recesses of Amazon, Newegg, or eBay. The relatively high MSRP of such small speakers should bode well for their design and build, but, as we have seen so many times in the loudspeaker world, price does not always correlate to quality. So do buyers get their money’s worth with the ORA speakers and sub8 subwoofer? Read our full review to find out…
