I'm still scratching my head on this one . . .

"Rear speaker inputs changed to modern RCA inputs instead of clip style." Oh dear.

What the heck??!!

 

[damacman]

The last pair of speakers that I had with RCA connectors on them belonged to an Emerson integrated turntable that I had as a kid. Those wouldn't even work here . . .

The panel isn't even straight... Who knows what they might have done inside.

A mess!

 

[markshan]

Trying to be cup half full, at least it is a good excuse to put some nice binding posts on there.

 

[BilboBaggins]

But still a good deal. At least around here! I would take it and fix that issue.

Another ruined one

"You won`t find another one this nice." Golly.

Actually the extra footers on the back and the monster heat sinks indicate that Kenwood wasn't cutting corners on this. 95 WPC was indeed the specification.

Wow.

 

[bowtie427ss]

That's awesome.

That guy must be a genius, i'm sending him all of my gear for modification.

Get 8 of these and hook 16 speakers up to it.

I like the humor on this forum as much as the equipment and wisdom.

96°F here and a local vehicle listed for sale says there is nothing wrong with it, but the air conditioning does not work.

Wait . . . What?

 

[Galaxie65]

I have no clue why anyone is complaining or making fun of this master piece. Move over shitty McIntosh and Marantz, hello Hacked up Kenwood and Sound Design Speakers!!

 

[432HzBob]

Apparently, such a fine and powerful amplifier was modded to easily accept the Panasonic Thruster speakers it was so deserving of?

 

[Djcoolray]

I’ll bet he did the same thing to the speakers and used expensive interconnects !!!
