The Kenwood KA-2000 is a true gem of a compact amplifier delivering a solid 13 wpc with lovely fidelity. Kenwood/Trio made some of the sweetest sounding amplifiers from late 1960s through the 1970s with transformerless circuitry that was distinguished by wide frequency response, warmth and an impressive detailed midrange presentation. A well built piece with minimalist cosmetics and controls, the KA-2000 consistently receives user reviews that express surprise and even amazement at how great this little amp performs: Built like a tank...sounds remarkably good... punches well above its weight...really pushes mids. The compact size ( 10x10x5) and unique color cosmetics set it apart from most amps that followed. WE OFFER THIS AMP WITH SEVERAL CHOICES OF SPEAKERS. MY FAVORITES ARE THE ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-18B In the 1960s Acoustic Research and KLH dominated the US hi-fi market. Acoustic Researchs AR-4x remained a popular budget 2 way speaker into the 1970s. The original AR speakers were replaced in 1976-1977 by new line with Teledyne/AR branding and it was fashionable to look down on many of these, given their undeniably cheaper construction....but these post-classic AR deserved better. The AR-18 were remarkably good cheap speakers which earned respect as audio moved into the early 80s. The 8 inch acoustic suspension woofers delivered a very acceptable but not extended low end in a small box. The midrange detail was wonderful, the overall balance very good.and the top end ( originally a cone tweeter, later a dome) was accurate and pleasing. By 1983-1985 the smaller AR-8B was a very competitive entry level speaker described as remarkably good, while the AR-18S and its successor the AR-18B became a well accepted speakers which sold well to consumers while also making their way into many major recording studios for use as nearfield monitor speaker for checking mixes. Sadly after the 1980s, they were again dismissed by most audiophiles but since 2015 they have gained an almost cult-like following driven by numerous enthusiastic reviews from young listeners. I began using these in my recording studio in 1982 and have probably owned a half-dozen pair since then. Heres a typical user comment: I had a good long session with these speakers { AR-18B} ... and these speakers really do sound fantastic, the front to back imaging is spot on and they cover the mid range perfectly. This is a great little speaker for tight space and is one I would seek out on a regular basis. THE KENWOOD AMP HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED IN 2024, INCLUDING RECAPPING. THE AR-18B SPEAKERS HAD THE WOOFER SURROUNDS REPLACED AND CROSSOVERS RECAPPED.. We offer other choices to pair with the amplifier : the Realistic Optimus- 2B from a similar era, with a sound comparable to the classic 2 way acoustic suspension speakers from KLH and Acoustic Research which were so popular into the 70s. For those wanting that classic New England sound sound from a bigger enclosure with a 10 woofer, we offer the KLH Model Seventeen There are also other amplifier options that work well with all these speakers: We highly recommend the Technics SU-C04 which features the bright, fast and highly detailed sonics of a silver era 1980s amplifier. Very compatible with the AR-18B, these also brings a sharper touch to sound of the earlier vintage speakers. For those seeking the same warm qualities of the KA-2000 but in a more powerful amp we offer the Kenwood KA-2500. For those wanting a 1980s amplifier with more power and features than the SU-C04 we offer the Technics SU-C03. All these options are in stock - they can be listed separately or sold as an amp+speaker combination system. ** Buyers East of the Mississippi and North of Florida may receive a refund of excess shipping charges**
