Kenwood's amplifiers now feature Linear T.R.A.I.T., the world's first power transistor with built-in. Tions are expressly approved in the instruction manual.

Maybe a Saucer CD box set. They've already made Piper available on CD in mono, so I can't really see that happening. Saucerful of secrets reviews. But saying that. Click to expand.The 3-disc Piper was available in the US as an import. That would work.

• 1512 Answers SOURCE: Hi spanky Where to start:) I am excited thinking about them:p You got 2 totally cool pieces of classic vintage gear there in the C2 and the Marantz. I have a C2 preamp myself (gathering dust but wont sell it cos its excellent) and the marantz would be totally cool to have(but then I am a little biased towards 70's vintage marantz). They ruled the roost in HiFi amps throughout that decade. Because they are both integrated amps, you could use them as standalone systems with a pair of speakers, and just plug your favourite gear into them. If you just wanted to run up a nice sounding HiFi, I would sell the kenwood gear and just keep the Marantz. The Kenwood kr1100 has the edge in power, so if it is grunt you are looking for use that. Because vintage sound is all about stereo, you only really need an integrated amp to get great results.

The specs are # Kenwood Model Eleven G (KR-11000G) Receiver 120W per channel min RMS, both channels driven, at 8 ohms from 20 to 20.000 Hz with no more than 0.03% total harmonic distortion. Dynamic power output 440W at 4 ohms Power bandwidth 5 Hz to 70.000 HZ Frequency response 5 Hz to 100.000 HZ -1.5dB Signal to noise ratio 115dB The marantz is a little lower in power at 75rms a channel, but will have the sonic edge in vintage sound over the kr1100. Look them up on ebay and you will find that they do have some value to collectors and people seeking nice tone. There is an 1152 for sale for AU$900 Best bet is to fire up the 2 integrated amps,and see how they are going.

Run them for several hours to be sure there is no strange noises and crackles. Then decide if you want power or finesse. You could also run both amps from the C2 preamp by connecting to the Amp in connections to the rear of the integrated amps. Happy to talk to you more about it, hit me with a Fixya if my advice was helpful to you. I would keep the marantz, use that and sell the rest and buy some nice speakers:) regards robotek Posted on Jul 21, 2008.
