Kenwood KR-7070A

[KeithD]

This is on CL near me for $260 and it is not mine, but I'm interested in pursuing this.

It has the super cool auto tuning feature. What is this one worth? Is that a fair price? How desirable are these? Can anyone comment on the sound quality of these units?

Thanks!

I know your question was last year, but I recently grabbed one for 39 bucks with the left channel shot. I spent 150 getting it repaired. It's totally worth that. I have seen them go for 400-600 online. But locally here in oklahoma I bet 300 tops is what I would get for it.

Thanks for the reply James. More of a Pioneer guy at this point, but I appreciate the comment.

No problem bud, I actually only use the Kenwood as a preamp. I run it to a ev ap2300 power amp. Feeding 2 ar3a's and 2 advents. Sounds beauituful!

What intrigued me the most about the 7070 is the auto-tuning. Pretty cool stuff. However, I later discovered Pioneer made one also (SX-2500).

Enjoy!

Kenwood KR-7070 Auto Tuning Stereo Receiver Manual | HiFi Engine has both the 7070 and the 7070A Schematic and Service Manual for these so you could look em over to see what is different. Usually the Kenwood schematics have the specs on the right side of the document.
