Well,just got home and it's arrived safely. Beautiful SQ and build... the speaker binding posts are all metal just like on the Supreme 1 amp.
Very clever how the motorized tuning meter works (with or without the remote). It just glides along either way and automatically stops when it detects the best possible signal/reception. Overall,I'm "over the moon" with this one. Also,it makes a great companion piece to the unique KR-6170.

Nice. :thmbsp: I had a KR-5150 once, which I think is from that same line of receivers. Very warm sounding, excellent tuner, really well built.

Cheers! This is probably my fav Kenwood receiver... build quality (and sound) are truly exceptional :thmbsp:
 
My Kenwood receivers

Here are a few pics of the Kenwoods I collect as a hobby, cleanup and enjoy.
I currently have 5 Kenwood KR 8010 - 2 with the wood cover and 3 without. I love this receiver for its rich clean sound -bass, mid, and treble controls, at 125 watts per channel it'll do what most households demand. three set of speakers, outputs and a low THD. These were produced from 1978 thru 1981 I believe.
Also in the pics is a Kenwood KR9600 beast 160 watts per channel. Also Have a Pioneer SX1080 around the same time frame, My take is the Kenwood sound blows the pioneer amps away. These are all working units. currently I'm doing some PS mods to the KR9600. I run Some B &W KEF and Klipsch speakers to matchup the amps.

I love these KR-8010. Never found a functioning one. This is the only Kenwood Receiver from those days I never had. So if some day you would like to give away one... Let me know. :thmbsp:
 
Cool thread guys, nice gear. Just picked up this mint kr-7600. Sounds awesome with my sennheiser hd580's, but it's not quite powerful enough for my dahlquist dq20's. Gonna dig out my ohm c2's and see how that works out...

Here's mine:
Kenwood KA-7300
Kenwood KT-7300
ADC SS-10 EQ

index.php


None of it's hooked up in this pic,was moving stuff around and that's just where it happened to be was when the picture was taken.

All that's really left IMO is I need to find a set of D7's for the KT-7300 to complete the system.

I wanted the "Dynamic Duo" LOL.

Speakers for this system are going to be Kenwood KL-555A (got that vintage look w/the lattice grills) and likely JBL j325's (have 4 of these).
Also might try it out with a pair of AR TSW-410's @ some point too.

Kenwood KA-3500 & KT-5300

Here are my Kenwoods in a custom rack with a Pioneer Reel to reel and Pioneer Cassette playerKenwood rack.jpg
 
Kr 9600

I have this connected to my Marantz HD 88 speakers at the moment. Love the sound. I just bought a SX 1250 and once I get that ironed out it should be fun to do the comparison.
