REN is the first HDMI-equipped powered stereo pair from Kanto, Canadian leading-lights of high-value, high-quality speakers. That means you can get spacious two-channel TV sound for shows and movies. And since it's ARC-enabled, sources like a gaming console or Blu-ray player connected to your TV via HDMI can also play through the REN.

Connections are on the back of the primary (left) speaker, and you tether it to the secondary speaker with an included speaker wire. A USB-C input lets you connect a wide range of devices, including your compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can also use the analog stereo RCA input to connect sources like a CD player or a turntable with a phono preamp. And built-in Bluetooth lets anyone with a compatible device stream wirelessly to the REN.

REN's built in 100-watt amplification is perfectly matched to its silk-dome tweeters and aluminum cone woofers. Rear ports in the stylish, modern cabinets help these speakers deliver full, articulate bass. And you can add a powered subwoofer like the SUB8 (sold separately) for extended low-frequency rumble and thump.
