Pretty Decent
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

This speaker is actually pretty decent. I bought one off ebay over a year ago for my Kenwood TS-2000,to replace the Kenwood SP-23 that I was using. The SP-23 works great on my Yaesu FT-7800R dual band mobile that I use in the shack,but the SP-23 just was not cutting it for the TS-2000. Liked the SP-940 so much I bought another one about 4 months ago off ebay to use with my Kenwood TS-570S that I use for 6 meters. If you should run across one of these SP-940 speakers,I dont think you will regret picking it up.

much better than SP-23

this speaker works!
I had the newest SP-23 to serve my TS-480SAT. However, the small SP-23 can not up to the job. I after find a used SP-940 from E-Bay.
Evan at only 1w (same as SP-23), the SP-940 sounds much BIGGER than the SP-23. And the filter button does work, especially the HIGH2 button which cut the frequenct @ 1.2kHz.
In addition, the old stuff has better shield from computer & computer speakers. SP-23 just failed to this aspect!

I have one to match my TS-940, the filters works ok, but some distortion in mid volume, so I fill the speaker inside with Acousta-Stuf fiber that is specially recommended to fill powered subwoofer enclosures then the result its amazing, try with the fiber inside.

Nice speaker, looks Great

I bought mine to match the TS940S. I would guess it's 18 yrs old or so. Filters work ok but I do not use them. It was a bit tinny. So I opened it up. The speaker was kenwood with a small magnet. I replaced with a speaker from Radio Shack. It had a larger magnet, a wider range, and bolted up perfect. Now she's a GEM!

Decent speaker, -most- of the time.

This is a matching speaker that goes along with the "brown" kenwood color scheme. Decent audio, however, my particular speaker at least seemed to suffer from strange resonances; i.e. the cabinet would vibrate on certain sounds, that sort of thing. I was able to somewhat alleviate the problem by moving the foam baffle around in the back, but never could eliminate it completely. The audio filters decent, for things like cutting down the effect of AF amp hiss.
