Kanto ORA Review: Retro Gaming Speakers!

The new ORA desktop speakers from Kanto have a bunch of nice features, but in particular they are magnetically shielded, which means that they can be placed next to a CRT without warping the image or creating any “buzzing” sounds. So in this video we’ll test them out and see how they will work in an ultimate retro gaming setup.
