JL 555 speakers

[Jarekw]

I got a pair of speakers. The label says JL 555. By look I think those are Kenwood speakers. They are in pretty bad shape. are they worth to invest time and money?

Nah, i would pass on those.

Inexpensive rack system speakers. Unlikely to be worth the effort.

yes they are worth getting ,, Just because a set of speakers came with an AIO console system don't make them crap , Kenwood speakers are top notch and are of better sound quality then speakers that cost 3 times more , like Bose. For some reason Audiophiles don't like Kenwood , news flash audiopholes dont know anything about sound all they do is reiterate things others said , want get information about sound that's more then just an opinion talk to a professional musician , Songwriter , or Music producer

It depends on what your goals are.

What makes you want to restore a pair of old speakers?

found a pair of Kenwood JL-555 so reasonable I had to find them a new home. What a cheap thrill they turned out to be. On new tube amp they absolutely scream. sure there not going to please the people who act like they confused vinyl appreciation with the course they took in wine tasting at the local two year community college but what fun! I'm on a busy street someone will be glad to give me four times my cash outlay and I'll have saved a pair from the landfill with a bit of glue and some handyman magic! Adding this to a 2 year old post is not likely to get noticed but I'd be curious to find out what Jarek did with his should he catch the post
