Are you looking for a clean, capable vintage receiver without paying the usual going rate? At €480, this is a strong deal: it sits below the €490 25th-percentile comparable and under the €500 median, while still being close enough to market that excellent condition matters. It is plainly better than merely fair value.
The KR-6600 is a particularly appealing Kenwood: a substantial 1970s stereo receiver delivering roughly 56–60 watts per channel, with a strong FM tuner, useful phono stage, and the attractive blue-dial presentation. It is well regarded for lively, slightly warm sound and good build quality. At this price, an excellent-condition example is worth serious attention; just confirm that all inputs, lamps, controls, and both channels operate cleanly, since age-related service needs are normal for a receiver of this vintage.
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.
