As some of you might know our head office is based in Vancouver, BC. For the past 17 days we've been the hosts of the 21st Winter Olympics.

It has been a fantastic experience. If you ever get a chance to go to an Olympic city you should definitely try to do so. It has been a 17-day party and while we are exhausted we wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Thanks for coming, or watching. Good luck to Sochi in 2014.

 

 

Thanks to the Tech Bucket Blog for these very kind words:

"The sound is room filling good. Full dynamic range from excellent bass and lows all the way up to the highs. Quality sound like this is just a bargain at $359." More here...

"this year's #macworld isn't soo hot. but kanto has some nice wireless speaker prototypes."

Many thanks to everyone who dropped by to see it. It was a lot of fun.

 

 

We have been on booth duty at MacWorld 2010 in San Francisco since Wednesday and it's been a lot of fun meeting some of our existing customers and lots of new customers. Thank you to everyone for dropping by the booth to say hello.

We presented our newest product -- The RYO. We can't talk about it too much except to say that the sound output, the design and the features wowed everybody. It still has to go through a few more development stages but watch this space for an announcement in the Summer.

Until then the SYD 5 and the iPair 5 have been blowing people away. It's the last day today and we'll be there all day. If you live in the Bay Area drop by. We would love to meet you.

Yes it's that time of year again. It's CES (The Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas.

While we're there we will be introducing our most exciting product ever to our distributors and resellers. I can't really talk too much about it as it is still in it's R&D phase but what I can say is we've been working on this for a year now and it should be available in the Summer of 2010 to the general public.

If you are an electronics or audio-visual distributor or reseller from anywhere in the world, and if you are going to be at CES this week, then please drop us a line at Hello@KantoSpeakers.com and we'll setup a time to meet.

Just a reminder... we'll also be at MacWorld in San Francisco in February so if you are going to be there please also drop us a line so we can meet.

 

 

We got a whole new batch of Imperial Red SYD 5's into the warehouse today.

They look absolutely stunning. Check out the Qik video we shot.

 

 

That was a hectic week. A new shipment of speakers arrived, unpacked, moved around the warehouse, repacked and shipped out to all our customers.

A big thank you to all our customers who bought our products during November and December even though we didn't have them in stock. We appreciate your trust.

We are fully stocked now in every model and every color -- with the exception of red -- they are due in right after Christmas.

We hope you enjoy your new Kanto speakers but more importantly we wish you a happy holiday with your family and friends during this season.

 

 

The new shipment of SYD 5's and iPair 5's has arrived. They look fantastic. They sound fantastic.

We currently have the SYD 5 in black, white and kelly green. Imperial red will arrive next week. We have the iPair 5 in black or white. Imperial red will arrive next week.

If you want one for Christmas then you need to order by Monday (December 21st) 2PM (PST). We are covering the cost of shipping by air to get these to our customers by Christmas Eve.
