My first Kenwood Receiver

I recently obtained a Kenwood KR-9600. My very first receiver by Kenwood, but not my first Kenwood. (As that would be my KA-9150)

I had it shipped to where I work (Family owned business), and had the KR-9600 on my desk powering my satellite Cerwin-Vega SAT-6 set. I was pretty amazed at how well they sounded off this Kenwood with the tone controls on defeat.

So first impressions have been pretty good. :thmbsp:

With simple wires attacked to my board on the wall with thumbtacks, hooked to the 300 ohm FM antenna connection, it picks up stations better than the mid/late 90's Sony I have under the desk with a powered antenna.

Though this building isn't good on receptions to begin with, FM, NOAA Weather Alert Radio signals... sometimes Cell phone signals too.

Anyway, here's a picture I took:

Another thing I like about this receiver as well, is the clicky sounds of the volume control and buttons. :D

VERY nice! The big Kennie is a cool receiver....and a very good performer. I have mine hooked to a pair of newly acquired JBL 4401's........great sound!

I think you will enjoy.........;-)
 
My first Kenwood Receiver..

...was an KR 8340!


I have been stupid enough to give it away 6 years ago:tears:
 
I bought a small electric fan from Walmart to sit on top and blow into the hottest area of this receiver. Fan is one of those metal round ones that are about 4 inches in size, and come in either red or black.

No speed adjustment, but it does the job, and it isn't too noisy either. :D
