I could be wrong, but I think that they're Kenwoods. I'm not sure why I think that. I was so young, I don't remember that much about them. Our house was robbed when I was 12 and they were stolen.


Is this what your Bose look like?


When our house was robbed, the insurance company replaced my dad's gear instead of giving us cash. They replaced those speakers with Acoustic Research speakers, AR9LS

This is what my dad's Audio gear looked like then. I still have his Sansui Z-9000.



Not my picture, but these are the AR9LS speakers
