AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Kenwood Basic M2A – Stereo power amplifier – Japan

Kenwood Basic M2A power amplifier, an iconic model of the Basic series, highly sought after by enthusiasts of Japanese vintage Hi-Fi from the 1980s.

The Kenwood Basic M2A requires a preamplifier.

Simple explanation

The Kenwood Basic M2A is a power amplifier, not an integrated amplifier.
It has neither a volume control nor a source selection.

It must therefore be used with:
• a preamplifier (ideally the Kenwood Basic C2 / C2X), or
• a source with variable output (DAC with volume, phono preamp, volume controller).

The M2A is renowned for its high power, large current reserve, and its ability to drive demanding loudspeakers with ease. Its symmetric design and oversized power supply make it an amplifier appreciated for both musical listening and high-end audiophile systems.

State:
• Functional: tested, works correctly
• Aesthetic condition: good to very good for its age, possible signs of wear (see photos)
• Not revised / or revised (to be adapted to your situation)

Characteristics (indicative):
• Stereo power amplifier
• Power: approx. 2 × 220 W into 8 ohms
• Starters: RCA
• Manufacturing: Japan
• Period: the 1980s

Careful and prompt shipping
