Kenwood S-120

Little is documented about the Kenwood S-120 loudspeaker. The record shows a compact bookshelf-style speaker rated at 8Ω impedance with 100W power handling. It measures 490mm tall, 260mm wide and 191mm deep, and it weighs 7.2kg. That points to a modest, no-frills design.

Surviving information on this model is thin. No production years, original pricing, driver configuration or frequency response figures have surfaced in the available documentation. The model name appears in period equipment directories, which confirms it existed and gives the basic electrical specs. Beyond that, the S-120 is a footnote in Kenwood's extensive speaker catalog. The magazine reviews from the era that mention Kenwood speakers focus on the larger LS-1200 model. High Fidelity (October 1979, p.162) discussed that model's proprietary cone construction and crossover design. The S-120 is absent from those same pages.
