Big Kenwood $100

[phildoc]

I'm not up on the different Kewood receivers, but this looks like it might be a KR-9400. Not a bad price.



Not mine.

I think you're right on it being a 9400, it looks just like mine.

Good price on a GREAT receiver.

Not a great picture of a wonderful KR-9400 still flying under the radar.

Someone in Kentucky go get this thing! $100 for a great 120WPC amplifier - that's less than $0.84 cents per watt, or 1.2 watts per $1! If I didn't already have one, I'd be tempted to call a friend who just moved out there and have her pick it up for me.

The big Kenwoods are still somewhat under the radar, and underpriced compared to the comparable Pioneer and Sansui units. Personally, I like the Kenwoods better than Pioneer. Besides, this is a piece of history - the first receiver to go north of 100WPC in the Receiver War (the Pioneer SX-1010 was exactly 100WPC). It's also easy to repair if something goes south, the outputs are discrete transistors.

If I had the cash on hand I'd drive over and snatch it up. I get paid on the 3rd and it seems like the good deals always come along at the end of the month..LOL.

yep, good deal IF it is nice. Then again, it may be a basket case, in need of major repairs. The picture is a crappy one, but even so, it looks like to me the face has some serious scratches on it.

Agreed... I'm on disability and this happens to me as I wait for the eagle to land as it were...:yes:

Sent the boy to pick it up - the dude said it works - we will see.

The dude called me back - "one channel not working - 'don't really know much about stereos' - talked him down $25 - now it is mine - and it is a KR-9400 - sweet!!

Hopefully it is an easy fix, maybe it just needs to be cleaned? Congratulations.

$25 for a KR-9400, I'd take it working or not. Congrats.

Good show. Nice heavy silver Kennys need an appreciative home.

Thank you for restoring balance from the Koyaanisqatsi all around...
