I'll bet they sound rather good with a big controlling amp running them.

Bet they sound very impressive. They'll be well built too. Wouldn't mind them myself. Knowing Kenwood, the drivers will be nice quality.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Similar design to my Akai SW175 - similar era too. Worth snapping them up if you are local.That is the essence of... kabuki http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...buki%20Speaker

I would if they were half the price but I just don't have that kind of spare dosh at the moment - The JBL's are still rocking my world so no great loss... I'm sure someone will have lots of fun with them though !

Hmm - the drivers have silver coloured dust caps on. In my experience, no decent loudspeaker ever has silver coloured dust caps!
