Vintage Kenwood

[f1 fan]

Dan.....I agree. That's some nice gear. I never owned Kenwood in the day but would like to find some of these pieces. A friend in high school was a Kenwood user. My jewerler friend has the 'ttable, a couple of receiver's, intergrated's and some JBL's like yours. Sweet

The Kenwood KA-9100 integrated amplifier was well designed.

Those were the days...

I miss that good old Japan built stuff...

Stacked speakers and all...

I used to have a KA-6100... Sweet little piece, it was handed over by an uncle. Lights and meters worked flawlessly. It sounded alright... I think it looked way cooler than it sounded.

I'm glad I clicked on this thread, this nice quality Kenwood gear was a little before my time.

By the early 80's most of the Japanese stuff real junk and I found myself a SAE.

I hope you are also aware of the Supreme series models 500, 600, 650 integrateds ,and the only Kenwood Separates the 700 series 700c Pre amp 700m Power amp, 700t tuner. Incredable Build Quality

I have owned several Kenwood integrated amps, a Kenwood tuner, and a Kenwood cassette deck. I always found Kenwood gear built during the 70' to be very well designed, built with a high degree of craftsmanship, and performed very well. To this day, I still find myself fascinated with vintage Kenwood gear, especially the integrated amplifiers. Anyone else a Kenwood fan?

Dan,

Kenwood went on to become KENSONIC Accuphase ..... where today its simply known as just ACCUPHASE!

So, the pedigree is there ......

Cheers!
