A high-power AM/FM stereo receiver made for the European market, closely related to the KR-9600.
Overview
It was sold mainly in Europe and shares its core design and performance with the Kenwood KR-9600. The differences are mostly cosmetic. It puts out 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms, which made it a high-power receiver for its era. Inputs are two MM phono, one line, and two tape loops, plus preamp/power amp connections. That suits mid-to-high-end audio systems of the late 1970s.

Market
