Interesting looking little speakers

Anybody now anything about these? They are Kenwoods with a 12 inch woofer. The kinda look like they were going for the look of some of the yamaha NS speakers that are so famed. The guy wants what I would call a unreasonable amount for them, which is also what makes me curious of the potential sleeper factor.

I had a pair of those. The old fella I got them from put in new woofers that were of good quality and they sounded not at all bad! A bit bright but turning down the tweeter a little it was all good! well built cabs. I can't remember the model # though. I think it was ls-407?... just can't recall. SORRY! I remember finding info on the net and Kenwood did spend some $$ on R&D when developing them.
 
I had similar looking speakers, but with 15" woofers. LS-408 may be. Wasn't impressed that much. And what is he asking for them?
 
Not mirror-imaged, the first question I ask myself is whether they are good enough to warrant reversing one of the baffles, rarely a simple task.

If the objective is to rehab and flip, the profit is made in the acquisition cost, and at $150, these likely do not qualify; I'd be a long time waiting for a bigger fool to buy them.... :thumbsdn:

That's what I see too ........................ I've got a pair of Kubuki Sansui 12" 4-ways that are similar, but they sound decent & I only gave $15.00 for the pair at a yard sale.
