best sounding line of Japanese silverface receivers imho. I had a KR-6600 and Boston A-200s for a long time and the soundstage was ridiculous. I haven't heard holographic presentation like that since.
They don't make em like this anymore. Analog even sounds better than digital sound IMO. I have the KR-7600, with a 300 watt per channel power amp, to go with it and nothing sounds better. Kenwood rules!
Does your kenwood have a lot of bass too? I am running the KR 7400. Depending on the amp I add bass sometimes, on the kennie if you set bass on neutral, there is so much bass already everything sounds like a sub, if you add bass, forget about it.
The KR-9600 is the last receiver I ever bought (August 1977) and it may well be the last one I ever buy. Had the phono pre-amp repaired by RESISTANCE REPAIR in Berkeley around the early 90's and that's all it ever needed. After you're used to 160 watts RMS, why would you buy a newer receiver that probably clips when you get it anywhere near 80 db.?
They were more or less for appearance and are not standard rack mount spacing. The KR-9600 measures about 24" across. They are really useful for moving or carrying the unit, though, as this beast weighs close to 60 pounds. :-)

Now THAT is cool!
What's with the handles on the front? Was that rack mountable, at some point?
