Kanto Ren Bookshelf Speakers

4.4

Best powered speakers for upgrading TV audio with minimal setup.

These active speakers are the ultimate TV upgrade for anyone tired of soundbars but intimidated by complex receivers. They offer the punchy, full-range audio of a dedicated hi-fi setup with the plug-and-play simplicity of HDMI ARC, though you sacrifice the modularity of a traditional component system.
