    4 new things

    I just got today some new Kenwood stuff! Here is the list:

    Kenwood VR-616 Surround Receiver

    Kenwood KC-X1 Preamplifier

    Kenwood KM-209 Power Amplifier

    Kenwood DV-605 5 Disc DVD Player

    from all those 4 the preamplifier and the power amplifier are the good stuff for me! Now I can replace my old KC-106 preamplifier and get rid of the tuner because the new preamplifier has internal tuner!

    Nice find. Those vintage Kenwood amps produce much more power than rated. I picked up a KM-105, KC-105 and KT-75 for my girl late last year.
    The KM-105 is rated to give 125WPC into 8 Ohms. It actually gives 178 into 8 Ohms and 252WPC into 4 Ohms. I would expect your KM-209 to be an overachiever also.

    Yeah JoeE I have 2 of the KM-106 and I am very happy with the kenwood gears!

    This is my whole Kenwood stuff I got home!

    Kenwood KM-106 Amplifier
    Kenwood KM-209 Amplifier
    Kenwood KC-105 Preamplifier
    Kenwood KC-106 Preamplifier
    Kenwood KC-X1 Preamplifier
    Kenwood VR-616 Surround Receiver
    Kenwood DV-605 DVD Player
    Kenwood DP-M98 CD Changer
    Kenwood KX-68W Cassette Deck
    Kenwood KT-75 Tuner
    Kenwood GE-76 Graphic Equalizer
    Kenwood JL-885 Speakers (2 pairs)
    Kenwood KS-401HT Surround Speakers (center & 2 rear)
    Kenwood SW-15HT Subwoofer

    I have other brands home as well but this is just the kenwood! I am planning to get one of silver amplifier!

    I like the KT-75 and the KC-105 how they match with the blue color! I had KC-206 but I got rid of it! It was supposed to be better than the KC-105 or 106 but not and in my system! It made the sound worse than before!

    Next step is to get the C1 or C2 preamplifier to the collection

    The thing I like on the receiver VR-616 is that it has for power subwoofer and at the same time it has internal amplifier for just regular subwoofer so I can use either one of them!
