hopefully have time to get it set up tonight for a little preview/review. my old kenwood ka8100 needs to be overhauled, am hoping this newer separate will fit in to my system.

That´s a power amp, right?

What will you be using as a pre?

What Jorge said.

Congrats.
Awesome looks.

Right, begging Elroy´s pardon, I´ve added a pic to his original post.

well sometimes things change in mid stroke, so here is what I got for $50 the power buttons are both broken off, I pulled the cover off the Pre-amp and the switch was really cheaply made, but on a good note,

I ran it with my vandy's on the highs and the lows, didnt really care for it on either. but it did sound a little better on the lows than the kenwood ka-8100, but not good enough to warrant a change, so i am going to make it a garage system and it sounds real good in this configuration.

Dingus gave some wharfdale bookshelf speakers that are in the photo, and damn they sound damn good, anyway I will either leave my sansui 1000a in the garage with those speakers or insert the new harmon kardon system in the garage,

I will tomorrow swap the pre-amp out with my NAD 1240 just to see if it brings anymore life to the highs or lows on the vandy's, but I dont think it will, but will definetely give it a shot, also

I have no idea what the specs are on this system, I have the original operating instructions but no specifications.

by the way, while i am trying to set this up in all the different configurations I had dinner to cook, a pre-high school thing to attend, which i didnt, and just normal interuptions that only kids can do.

the HK 770 is 65wpc, the rest i have no idea.

some friends of ours have one of those kenwood poweramps. I believe it's identical to yours. The red lights that light up the middle are kind of cool but IIRC they are useless.

he passed on the Kenwood and took the HK gear instead.

Sometimes it is a matter of finding the 'right' match of components to bring out the best in a piece, then they can all sing in harmony together.
