What are the differences between these YU5 speakers and the YU6 that have apparently replaced them in the line-up? I see they added a phono preamp. I'm curious if the sound is different though.
thx.

The 5 in YU5 is the diameter of the speaker cone I believe... so that would be a difference.

Thanks but they both have 5.25" woofers.

The YU6 is pretty much the successor to the YU5 with more/different features.
The YU5 is now discontinued, iirc.

I'm wondering the same thing. Why is the YU5 not listed? Is it an old model with worse bluetooth etc?
