Hello all. These units are both available in my area, very close in price, same WPC, and similar year production/era. Last year I acquired my first Hitachi piece, SR 703, which exceeded my expectations in build quality, aesthetics, and most importantly, sound! Made my Dynaco A25's sound like new speakers. I'm admittingly interested in hearing more vintage Hitachi. This will be my first integrated, which I'm looking forward too and both seem to be a solid choice. The Kenwood has a great reputation, seemingly higher regard than their receivers, but almost nothing on the Hitachi. And no, I'm not in a position to get both at the moment, but who knows, if one was still around a few months later, maybe. Any insight on these pieces would be much appreciated. I hope you're all well! And thank you.
