Biete den oben genannten Kenwood Verstärker (60€) sowie den arcus Subwoofer (40€) an. Die beiden Geräte können einzeln oder zusammen erworben werden
This is a well-liked late-’80s Kenwood integrated with a solid phono stage, useful power, and the kind of no-nonsense feature set that still makes sense for a vintage system. At €100, it lands right on the median of the recent local market, so the asking price looks fair rather than especially cheap or stretched.
That makes it a sensible buy if it’s been serviced or at least tested cleanly. The KA-770D’s appeal is in its punchy, balanced presentation, MM/MC phono input, and generally strong all-rounder status; for a tidy example, €100 is a fair entry point. I’d just want confirmation that both channels are quiet, all switches work properly, and the inputs and phono stage are behaving, since age-related cleaning or upkeep is part of the game with any vintage amp.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
