Earlier this month I got my first integrated, a KA-7100. I heard a lot of good things about the model and since I have never had an integrated I bought this item from the auction site. The unit sounds great. It is a bit neutral in sound as mentioned on this board but still provides a clear presence and only gets better as the volume is turned up. At very low volume it sounds a bit thin. I currently have the unit hooked up to my Polk RT7s.
And when it rains it pours. I also got a KA-8004 a few days ago. This one is special as I have had a KT-8005 for over five years. I've been waiting to find a companion integrated so when this one came along I couldn't wait to buy it. I have the tuner hooked along with my Advent 1s. I haven't had much of a chance to play with the 8004 but from what listening I've done I am very impressed with the sound quality. It is more warm than the 7001 and also provides a bit more bass. I had the tuner mounted on the 7001 but the appearance of the tuner on the 8004 is outstanding IMHO.
Actually I haven't played too much with the 7001 as well. I'll swap the speakers and see now they sound. Eventually I'll take them in for some professional cleaning too.
