Wow, that Kenwood sure brings back memories. I don't remember the model # of mine, but I bought new a similar amp when I turned 15 years age. I had money from working on commercial fishing boats over the school summer break, and spent it all on my first real system. The Kenwood sounded fantastic, would love to find a refurbished one for my second system. It had 40 watts per channel, I think it was the KA-3500. I bought Sansui and Yamaha after that, but neither gave me the sheer grunt and rock n roll sound I preferred.
Please remember in future that this is someone's Gallery thread, where members show off their 'prides of joy', and therefore not really the place to lambast the kit folk use, in such an insensitive way.
You have a bad habit of doing this type of thing, so please stop it and learn to show some consideration for others, or next time it happens you'll be out for a week.
