The Kanto YU6 are defo the best out of those. The A2's most likely won't feel "full" enough, the A5's are nice but for the very similar price to the YU6's, just get the YU6's.

 

Nice large woofers, decent amplifiers, decent tweeter, and nice enclosures.

Hey everyone,
I'm in the market to update my audio game a bit. My budget is $300-500. I've been reading around and ideally I'm looking for speakers with a build in amp and dac.
I've came across these three and I'm unsure which are the best to go with.  
Kanto YU6 Powered Speakers with Bluetooth and Phono Preamp - Matte Grey

Audioengine A5 Plus Classic 150W Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Remote Control, Built-in Analog Amplifier (White)

Audioengine A2 Plus 60W Powered Desktop Speakers, Built in 24Bit DAC and Analog Amplifier (Black)

I'm leaning towards the Kanto, but would like to get your guys opinions on them and other recommendations!

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)
