Vintage hi-fi integrated amplifier Trio/Kenwood KA-7006 was sold but i got another KA9006, Mint Condition.Professionally serviced and cleaned.Super sweet sounding, very 'musical' with a slightly warm but very detailed & dynamic sound. Plenty of power, this and the 9006 and 8004 is available too, both are great amps, cool-looking too. It's actually Accuphase in Kenwood/Trio clothing perhaps...Of course, earlier Trio models 1972-1974 like these were constructed by the same sound enginers as Accuphase.KA9006 is Japanece version 100vAnd 8004 is rewired to 230_240VIt Will be packed in a double box.Feel free to ask if have any question but not silly offers pleace.

Kenwood traces its origins to December 21, 1946, when it was founded as Kasuga Radio Co. Ltd. in Komagane City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, by a group of entrepreneurs led by William "Bill" Kasuga. Emerging in the postwar era, the company initially produced electronic components and amateur radio gear, renaming to Trio Corporation in 1960 before adopting the Kenwood name in 1986 to appeal to Western markets—blending "Ken," a familiar name across Japan and America, with "Wood" evoking durability and Hollywood. This rebranding fueled rapid international growth, starting with a U.S. office in Los Angeles County in 1963.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality audio and communications equipment, excelling in home hi-fi amplifiers like the acclaimed 1970 Supreme 1 multichannel model, receivers, tuners, and speakers with innovations such as polypropylene cones. Kenwood also pioneered car audio systems, including the first audio/video amplifier for home theater in 1981 and anti-theft cassette decks, alongside professional two-way radios and amateur transceivers. While maintaining roots in consumer electronics, it expanded into automotive infotainment.
Today, as part of JVCKENWOOD since the 2008 merger with JVC, Kenwood holds a solid mid-tier position in car audio and professional communications, prized by enthusiasts for reliable performance and aftermarket upgrades. Its vintage home hi-fi gear from the 1970s and 1980s commands respect among collectors for robust build and warm sound, though it no longer dominates pure hi-fi markets.
