Commentary
2-way bookshelf speaker system.
The low range is equipped with 125A which is a 25.5 cm cone type woofer.
The unit's magnetic circuit uses a voice coil with a diameter of 5 cm, edgewise wound copper ribbon wire, and an Alnico V magnet with a weight of 1.1 kg.
A 3.6 cm cone type tweeter was adopted for the high range, and it seems that L26 was equipped with LE25-1 in the early stage and L25-4 in the later stage.
These units use a 15,000 gauss magnetic circuit.
The enclosure uses a bass reflex system.
The exterior was given a natural oak finish and there was a net grill with a pattern of 4 colors of orange, brown, blue and white.
