Which would you choose? Kenwood KA-6006 or Pioneer SA8100

[Alkeys]

Hey guys I've been looking at a Kenwood KA-6006 and Pioneer SA8100.

The only real difference I see is that the Pioneer has 2 separate bass controls (50Hz and 100Hz) and two separate treble controls (10kHz and 20kHz)
which makes dialing in your tone a bit more interesting.

Does one of these units sound much better than the other?

Thanks!

Does one of these units sound much better than the other?

depends on who is doing the listening, what speakers you have etc. Is purely a judgement call. Me, I am snagging the Kenwood, but I am kind of partial to their integrated amps

I would get the Kenwood.

Both are very fine units but I have a soft spot for old Kenny integrateds after owning a KA 9100 a while. :tresbon:

I own and use the KA-6006, and am enjoying it very much....

I would cast my vote for the kenwood

Crazy as this sounds coming from a die-hard Kenwood fan, I'd go with the SA-8100. It's one of my favorite Pioneer integrateds and is a notch above the X006 series Kenwoods in my opinion.

I'm happy with my SA-8100, just need to find bigger (um) different (er) better speakers........
