replacement receiver

[admin_exported]

I am looking to replace my Kenwood receiver KR-A4080 as its started to malfunction. Has anyone got any ideas?

Very vague question really Ade. Welcome to the forum BTW

What would be handy to know is what source do you use (i.e. CDP, Laptop, MP3/iPod etc...)

What speakers do you have and also what music do you listen to?

Is there anything in particular that you'd like from your new amp?

How about a NAD C720BEE?

Any amp as long as I can connect the other kenwood components. ie turntable, cd player and cassette deck

Still a bit vague there Ade!

Still would be very handy to know what music you listen to and what speakers youve got?!?! Also; what's your budget?

It's a wide audience out there and everyone's got opinions on what amps to use etc...

If you can provide the above info I'm sure we'll get somewhere quicker!

Mainly rock music

Warfdale speakers

Budget about £300

All I want to know is will any amp do?

 

[Andrew Everard]

Yes, any amp will do, as your components have entirely conventional audio outputs, which will connect to any amp.

What you won't get, however, is the Kenwood system control provided by the extra system remote connections, as this is a proprietary Kenwood system and won't be supported by your new amp.

Assuming you were using those connections, of course...

I'd definitly go for the NAD C320BEE or NAD C352 via eBay then as well as some new speaker cable and interconnects.
