Für 199 Euro an. Tier freier u Nichtraucher Haushalt. Dies ist ein Privat Verkauf und nur selbst Abholung nach dem EU Recht keine Garantie oder Rückname
At €199, this Kenwood KA-990 is a strong deal, sitting just below the 2026 estimated median of €117 for the KA-990V variant and well under the €190 median for the KA-990SD. While the listing specifies the base KA-990 (launched 1982–1984), its price is competitive even against the more common V and SD revisions, which typically trade higher due to incremental spec bumps. For a unit in “excellent” condition, this ask is fair-to-great, especially if it includes original accessories or service history.
The KA-990 is a Japanese-made powerhouse from Kenwood’s “New High Speed” era, delivering 105 W/ch into 8Ω with ultra-low distortion (0.005%) and a damping factor of 1000. It’s well-regarded for punchy bass, clean highs, and a robust MM/MC phono stage, making it a versatile core for vintage or modern systems. At this price, it’s a buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-current vintage amplification without the premium attached to later revisions.

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.
