Kenwood LS-606
The Kenwood LS-606 is a 3-way, 4-speaker bass reflex system. The exact production years aren't documented. It's a compact floor-standing design, 510mm tall and weighing 7.8kg. It pairs a 20cm cone woofer with a 6.8cm cone midrange and two 1.9cm horn drivers, one for treble and one as a super tweeter.
The dual horn arrangement suggests Kenwood was chasing extended high-frequency response and a lively top end. Rated frequency response is 38 Hz to 20 kHz. Impedance is 8 ohms and maximum input is 60W, which makes it an easy partner for the integrated amplifiers Kenwood was selling alongside it at the time. High Fidelity (November 1970, p.111) ran a Kenwood advertisement introducing the company's expanding speaker lineup, positioning the LS-606 within a broader push beyond receivers and amplifiers into full-system offerings.
Beyond the driver complement and basic specs, documentation on the LS-606 is thin. No crossover frequency, sensitivity rating or cabinet construction details have survived in the record, and no period reviews of this specific model have turned up.
