Denon SC-901V (1986)
The Denon SC-901V is a three-way bass-reflex loudspeaker system from 1986. Documentation is thin. The archive has no period reviews and no original brochures. What survives from listings and secondary sources points to a capable floor-standing speaker from Denon's mid-1980s lineup.
The SC-901V used an 8" cross-carbon woofer, a polypropylene midrange driver, and a dome-type tweeter. The cabinet has a high-range level adjustment. It was rated at 100 watts and 6 ohms. Cabinet dimensions are listed as W26.4 x H48 x D24 (units unconfirmed, though the figures read as inches), with a bass-reflex port. A contemporary description calls the design "sleek," with "high-quality components that render clear and dynamic sound."
Surviving auction listings suggest it is a moderately collectible vintage speaker. One Yahoo Auctions listing in 2025 opened at ¥1. A Russian reseller categorizes it simply as "vintage acoustics." A Pinterest pin citing audio-heritage.jp confirms the 1986 production year, though the original spec page itself is not accessible.
