Kanto Audio has introduced the TUK G2 and TUK Grand powered speakers plus the OBI3 G2 belt-drive turntable. The TUK G2 costs $899.99 in the US, and the TUK Grand costs $999.99. The OBI3 G2 is priced at $249.99 in the US.

Both speaker systems use Class D amplification with DSP. The TUK G2 pairs a 28 × 35 mm AMT tweeter with a 5.25-inch aluminium woofer. The TUK Grand pairs a 28 × 35 mm AMT tweeter with a 6-inch aluminium woofer. Kanto rates the TUK G2 at 130 W RMS and the TUK Grand at 160 W RMS.

Both powered-speaker models support Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive. On the TUK G2, USB-C and optical digital inputs accept audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz. Two RCA inputs handle line-level sources, and the subwoofer output provides selectable 80 Hz high-pass and low-pass filtering. The TUK Grand provides USB-C, optical and RCA connections plus a subwoofer output.

The OBI3 G2 combines a belt-drive mechanism with a speed sensor. A weighted aluminium platter sits on an engineered-wood plinth. The tonearm has an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate adjustment. The turntable is fitted with an Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge and a manual cue lever.

The OBI3 G2 plays 33⅓ and 45 rpm records and provides a ±10% pitch-control range. Cue-activated start and automatic stop manage playback operation. It sends audio over Bluetooth 5.3 or through an RCA output with a selectable phono preamplifier. The three products are scheduled for demonstration at the StereoNET UK Hi-Fi & AV Expo in September 2026.
