I expected this little KENWOOD speaker to shine with jazz vocals and acoustic music.

Instead, it surprised me in a completely different way.

Its fast, lively sound made pop music far more enjoyable than I ever expected.

Sometimes a speaker turns out to be something completely different from what you imagined.

What's the best small speaker you've ever owned?

If you'd like to read the full review or hear the air recording, feel free to visit VON.

I've started a new series called VON Select Air Recording, where I share some of my favorite air recordings using vintage audio equipment.

This first selection is dedicated to City Pop.

If you're interested, you can hear these recordings on VON. The link is in my profile.

I'd love to discover more City Pop.

What artists or songs would you recommend?

I found this ACUSTIK-LAB Bolero Eibe a few years ago after reading about it in an old audio magazine.
After repairing the tweeters and spending time with it, I realized something unusual.
This isn't a speaker that impresses with huge bass or extreme detail.
Instead, it's a speaker that makes you want to dim the lights and listen late at night.
When the music starts, the speakers seem to disappear, leaving only the singer in the room.
If you're curious, you'll find more photos and listening notes on VON.
Have you ever owned a speaker that seemed to disappear, leaving only the singer in the room?
I'd love to hear your story.
