Deze mooie vintage (‘80-er jaren) 3-weg speakers geven 100 watt bij 8ohm. Deze compacte speaker voor thuisgebruik heeft een houten kast en kent een warme, vriendelijke klank met een soepele bas en hel
Kenwood speakers have a long-standing reputation for solid, listenable performance, and this asking price lands well below the usual used market. At €49 versus a €103 median and €69 25th percentile, it reads as a strong bargain rather than a stretch.
That’s the kind of price that makes sense if the cabinets are intact and the drivers are healthy, because the upside here is straightforward: a low-cost path into a respected vintage hi-fi sound with little financial risk. Even with the condition left unspecified, this is still worth a close look; just confirm both speakers play cleanly, the surrounds look sound, and any grille or terminal issues are minor before jumping.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kenwood traces its origins to December 21, 1946, when it was founded as Kasuga Radio Co. Ltd. in Komagane City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, by a group of entrepreneurs led by William "Bill" Kasuga. Emerging in the postwar era, the company initially produced electronic components and amateur radio gear, renaming to Trio Corporation in 1960 before adopting the Kenwood name in 1986 to appeal to Western markets—blending "Ken," a familiar name across Japan and America, with "Wood" evoking durability and Hollywood. This rebranding fueled rapid international growth, starting with a U.S. office in Los Angeles County in 1963.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality audio and communications equipment, excelling in home hi-fi amplifiers like the acclaimed 1970 Supreme 1 multichannel model, receivers, tuners, and speakers with innovations such as polypropylene cones. Kenwood also pioneered car audio systems, including the first audio/video amplifier for home theater in 1981 and anti-theft cassette decks, alongside professional two-way radios and amateur transceivers. While maintaining roots in consumer electronics, it expanded into automotive infotainment.
Today, as part of JVCKENWOOD since the 2008 merger with JVC, Kenwood holds a solid mid-tier position in car audio and professional communications, prized by enthusiasts for reliable performance and aftermarket upgrades. Its vintage home hi-fi gear from the 1970s and 1980s commands respect among collectors for robust build and warm sound, though it no longer dominates pure hi-fi markets.
