Kenwood KR-2600 Stereo Receiver KR 2600 Japan Vintage 1976

Kenwood KR-2600 Stereo Receiver from 1976. Kenwood’s golden area of HiFi production in Japan. Silver front in real wooden chamber. The KR-2600 receiver was the most sophisticated unit of his time among the middle-price receivers. There’s something spacey in the narrow glass display. The receiver’s FM sensor is so sensitive that it receives all near and far stations with a good antenna. Truly entertaining if you enjoy listening radio! The amplifier offers 2x15 W with 8 Ohm and 2x18 W musical power with 4 Ohm speakers.

The receiver is in excellent condition with all original parts. Offers sufficient power, wide frequency response and low distortion warm sound with a power output. The device has been tested, fully functional. International shipping in a hard cardboard box, carefully and safely lined.
