I scored one of these amps from a local charity shop with rather modest expectations as I usually have if it comes to black amps from 80's. Cleaned it properly with isopropyl alcohol, lubed all controls and left to dry. Next day the time to test its abilities came, hooked it up and well must admit this amp offers quite excellent performance. Very balanced sound with excellent positioning and separation, it seems like the damping factor is very high, definately 150 + also frequency response range starts low, around 10Hz and a lot is going on in highs department, so I risk guess 30kHz maybe more. Overal signature is dark and misterious like in other well known Kenwood devices. Headroom is deep and wide, but reveals on demand (support guitas appears somewhere far to the right and piano comes from far left corner). Finally vocals, exceptionally articulate and natural, it is actually an amazing amplifier which can be scored for a little cost. N.B. The amplifier employs an ultra minimal topology inside, all capacitors are quality Elna as well as printed borads were manufactured by Elna. Definately a keeper!Read full review
