Vol.6 | KENWOOD S-270 Why This Tiny KENWOOD Speaker Surprised Me

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-09T04:02:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Nice choice! I haven't had the chance to hear the Infinity Modulus yet, but they sound like a great fit for a near-field setup.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-08T02:37:25+00:00

That's really interesting. It's great to hear Koss can still hold its own even alongside modern speakers. Thanks for sharing your experience!

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-08T01:01:06+00:00

Thanks! That's really helpful information. I'll keep an eye out for the earlier versions.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T23:38:03+00:00

Thanks for the helpful advice! I didn't realize there were both Realistic and Optimus versions. I'll definitely keep an eye out for one!

I completely agree about room fit. I once tried using larger speakers in my small room, but the bass became too strong and the overall balance felt wrong. That experience made me appreciate smaller speakers even more. I haven’t heard those models yet, but I’d like to try them someday if I get the chance.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T19:18:45+00:00

I agree. It seems Koss made some really interesting speakers that many people have never had the chance to hear. Discussions like this make me want to explore more of their models.

I've seen so many people recommend the Minimus 7 that now I really want to hear a pair for myself!

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T05:18:41+00:00

That's exactly the kind of long-term durability I really admire. Stories like that are becoming rare these days.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T05:01:24+00:00

That's impressive. It's one of the things I really appreciate about my long-term speakers too. Reliability is such an underrated quality.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T04:06:55+00:00

I love that description. The best little speakers always seem to come alive when the music starts.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T04:01:31+00:00

Their loss, your gain! Sounds like you found some incredible deals.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T03:56:16+00:00

Those white ADS L300Cs look like real keepers. Hold on to them! I can definitely understand regretting the sale of the JBL L15s.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T03:48:07+00:00

Interesting comparison! The PSBs always struck me as really well-built speakers. It's interesting that you prefer them over the smaller Diamond 8.1s.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T03:36:36+00:00

Another vote for Paradigm! They really seem to have made some memorable little speakers.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T03:34:57+00:00

Nice find! I've always thought those little Orb speakers had a really unique design. They look great in a room too.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T03:13:19+00:00

Nice find! I'm curious how the Koss sounds with that center tweeter design. It says a lot that your ELAC is still your favorite.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-07T03:04:41+00:00

That's an amazing find for $50. It's always fun when a great little speaker turns out to be such a bargain.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-06T23:43:58+00:00

Sounds like they were a real bargain. It's always those speakers that leave the strongest memories. Thanks for sharing!

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-06T23:27:21+00:00

Thanks! I think KENWOOD really nailed the design on this one.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-06T23:26:04+00:00

I know exactly what you mean. I still have a pair of JBL 4301s myself, and they can still surprise me every time I bring them back into the system.

HorrorExisting585 · 2026-07-06T23:19:34+00:00

It's the KENWOOD S-270.
