Kenwood KL-4060
Documentation on the Kenwood KL-4060 is thin. The record shows a three-way loudspeaker from Kenwood's KL Series, sold in the late 1970s and badged as Trio (Kenwood) in some markets. That was common practice for the Japanese domestic channel. Almost everything that survives comes from marketplace listings, not period reviews or manufacturer literature.
The driver complement is the best-documented part. The KL-4060 uses a 30 cm woofer with a fabric surround, a paper-cone midrange, and a horn-type tweeter. Sensitivity is listed at 98 dB, and each cabinet weighs roughly 18 kg. That's about all that can be verified. No source found gives frequency response, impedance, crossover points, or cabinet dimensions.
A brochure excerpt exists for the related KL-5060 and KL-5080 models that mentions the KL-4060, but its contents aren't available in the archive. A handful of Russian marketplace listings currently ask around 30,000 RUB for examples. That reflects what sellers hope to get, not an established collector value. No period reviews, owner commentary, or service documentation have surfaced.
If you own a pair and have original paperwork, a brochure, or even a clear photo of the back panel, that would fill a gap.
