Vintage Kenwood KA-701 Integrated Amp

Options
Overall visual quality around 7 or 8. Sound quality superb. Works great. Give me a little time to ship, I need to find some good packaging. I have the brand new wooden side panels never installed included. $400 OBO. Free shipping to the inland USA.

    Good neutral sounding classic. These units are starting to
    get the respect they deserve. At 80wpc it should do a pretty
    good job with most reasonable speakers.

    Sir
    Can you send pics of front and back?
    I have been trolling the seas of cheese for integrateds lately and this may fit the bill. Thanks

    Also any chance you have the tuna to go with it?

    I'll get some pictures up soon. I have been really sick for the last few days. I do have a Denon tuna, but it's not worth much. Probably will keep that one. Thanks.

    kevhed72 thanks for your interest. I have decided to take this off the market and keep it. It mates very well with my vintage Tandberg speakers.

    OT (sorry Eric) - is that a Primus reference, Kev?

    Notice this has the multiple loudness settings.
    I've only seen this on some of these classic
    Kenwood models.

    That vintage Kenwood gear sounds good.

    We're in some kind of funk and I just can't put my finger on it yet.
    Money must be being held on to for some reason?
    Same thing's happening in the classic car arena.

    Even with great prices things are taking a very long time to sell, sometimes not at all.
    What's going on..... uncertainty?

    Dang. That is a clean looking amp. I somehow missed this listing. Good deal. Hopefully Binky gets some good use out of it.

    I definitely would have made the deal for the tuna to match...
