Kenwood LS-SE 9
The Kenwood LS-SE 9 survives mainly through scattered marketplace listings and a single mention on a hifi-wiki page, where it shows up only as an image filename next to the DP-SE 9 CD player. It was part of the Kenwood GRC-151 micro system. One listing calls it a two-way bass-reflex bookshelf design. Beyond that, the record is thin.
One thing is known with some confidence. The LS-SE 9 uses a Linaeum ribbon tweeter, a technology Kenwood used in a number of its late-80s and early-90s speaker designs. That detail shows up consistently across the few listings that mention the model. Cabinet construction, driver sizes, crossover points, impedance and power handling are all undocumented in the sources available.
Asking prices vary wildly, which says more about the listings than the speaker. A Belgian site listed a "new" example at €7.00. A Dutch Marktplaats ad (April 2024) asked for offers on a unit described as "as good as new." A Russian listing had it at 18,390₽. A €150 estimate also appears in one listing context. None of these are original retail prices, and none are corroborated. They are just what sellers have asked at various moments.
- Type: Two-way bass-reflex bookshelf speaker
- Tweeter: Linaeum ribbon

No production years, no original price, no frequency response data, no dimensions. None of the usual spec-sheet material has surfaced. If you own a pair and have a manual or any printed documentation, the Archive would like to hear from you.
