Offered is „KT 6040“ by Kenwood as second-hand device from the category „Tuner / Receiver / Network Device“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 492487092 ends on 07.11.2026 at 06:24 o'clock.
This is a fair ask. At €79, it sits just under the €89 median of your 93 comparable EUR listings and comfortably inside the normal middle of the market between €61 and €185, so it reads as sensibly priced rather than stretched.
That makes it a good buy for someone wanting a solid FM tuner without paying vintage-showcase money. The value here is in the Kenwood’s reputation for clean, stable reception and straightforward, no-nonsense performance; if the faceplate is clean and the tuner locks stations well, this is the kind of component that can quietly outperform its price. At this level, I’d mainly want to confirm smooth tuning, working presets and display, and that the listing includes any original remote or manual if applicable.

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.
