Polk Audio Reserve R200 Bookshelf Speakers vs Kanto YUP4 Bookshelf Speakers
The Polk Reserve 200 is the bigger, more capable speaker: a 6.5-inch woofer, bass down to 51 Hz, and a 1-inch tweeter that reaches 38 kHz. The Kanto YUP4 is a compact 4-inch two-way that fits a desk or a small room and needs a subwoofer for real low end. Reviewers and owners praise the Polk for clean mids and tight bass and the Kanto for its small footprint and smooth silk-dome treble, but the Polk plays louder and deeper. Buy the Polk for a main music or home theater system; buy the Kanto for a desk or a tight space.
- Choose the Polk Reserve 200 if you want full-range sound with real bass and have room for a 14-inch-tall speaker on stands or a shelf.
- Choose the Kanto YUP4 if you need a small speaker for a desk, a shelf or a surround role and plan to add a subwoofer for low end.
