Good for you. I have never heard a 600 so I dunno.
Same here, but I love my 907. I'm sure you'll be happy. What are your plans for it (where will it go)?

Enjoy the journey
I have owned both, and thought the 907 sounded better, loved mine. You'll be amazed by how big that amp is, and how well its built. Take the volume knob off and see for yourself!

Congrats Georgedannyg! Did you get the bumpers?
I think you will enjoy your 907 very much. The ring emitter outputs require the amp and preamp be in good tune. I was visiting my tech today and he had one in the shop. He mentioned the bias needs to be set for both the amps and the preamp to get best performance.

Not a replica, no mask
Not to put a damper on things but...
I would be a bit worried about the shipping. Seller has shipping cost listed as $15 (!!!) flat rate shipping to anywhere in the US. That thing is a beast and properly packed shipping weight will be at least 70 lbs. I would contact the seller and see how he intends to pack it.
And Sam, the 907 you saw at Tom's yesterday is mine.
Acquired it recently, it sounds great, but just wanted Tom to check and adjust. The service manual has procedures for adjusting the preamp offset voltage, tone control offset voltage, power amp offset voltage, power amp bias current.

Congrats calabashak! You can't have too many KA-907's!! BTW, your new 907 is in great shape. Tom submitted my 907 to a square wave test and while the basic shape of the wave forms was very good, we observed ringing. Tom tells me an adjustment per the service manual will improve this so I'll have mine in for some TLC.

still learning...
Hope it gets to you safely!
I picked one of these up off of A-Gon a while back and love it. It's WAY bigger than I would have imagined...I was thinking a KA-801 on steroids, when in fact it's a completely different animal!
Looking forward to hearing your impressions

gdg,
Here's fingers crossed that it arrives safe and in perfect working-order.

In the spirit of the 600 and the 907,it's another one of Kenwood's 'Super Integrateds'.
Here's hoping we both get safe arrivals. :thmbsp:
