I ran into a very good, in my opinion, buy on a set of speakers, they are a pair of Kenwood LS-P9200 speakers, and I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of them. They are about 4 feet tall, and are a 7-piece, 4 way system(2 super tweeters, 3 tweeters, 1 midrange, 1 10" subwoofer, and a 15" passive radiator). They have a rated max input of 400W, and a frequency response of 20Hz to 48kHz(or at least that's what listed on the cabinet). They sound really great in my opinion, and limited experience. I don't know how old these things are, I'm thinking a good 10+, and they are from the outside in great shape. I'm not even sure where the speakers came from, I don't think they were sold in the US, because the very very very limited amout of info I have on them is from overseas in Europe, like the Netherlands and such. However me and my roomate blew the foam surround out of the 10"s(they were so old they were bound to blow soon). Being the poor misinformed at the time college students that we are, we just got some cheaper 50 dollars car subs(still 8 Ohm) to replace them. These subs however ended up busting out the foam surround on the 15" passive radiators. My roomate I think threw away both of the 10"s, and we lost the basket and the cone for one of the 15" radiators. I still have one of the baskets and cone for the radiators. Is it possible to repair the surround on that one radiator, and then find another radiator very similar to it in weight so it will be tunded right, and put those in there. I really would like to get the OEM stuff for it, but I can't find anything anywhere about these speakers. I think I should also replace the 10"s on it with some better ones, but I don't where to get some good home theater subs to put in there, they won't cost me a ridiculous amount of money. Tell me what yall think.

Below is a link to a picture of the speakers I found on a website that has them up for auction in the netherlands.

I bought a pair of these back in 89 when they first came out. I still have them. unfortunately the faom has rotted away on the 10's and 15's. I replaced the 10's with pyle's and am looking for the 15's now. but i think i am going to put regular 15's in them. hope this helped. BTW they were $500 new back in 89..
