AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Kenwood KA 5700 phenomenally well-preserved, fully functional, technically perfect. Sound on both channels without hums and crackles. With nice VU meters. Potentiometer switches all functional. Optically almost like new with minimal signs of use.
The Kenwood KA-5700 is a classic vintage integrated amplifier from the late 1970s (1977–1979). It is widely considered a "sleeper" in the vintage hi-fi market, offering a warm, detailed sound and high build quality for its price.
