Kenwood KA-3020 Amplifier Test

A test of my Kenwood KA-3020 amplifier, here i played some jazz music via AUX from my PC

I love these amps! I got a Denon, works the same way.. I must admit, they are working way better than all of the new Hi-Fi recievers! I love them!!

[@brucetungsten5714]

Bought one yesterday - I prefer it to the Denons I have had. It also has a beefy transformer and adequate caps which, despite its low wattage, translates into a rather powerful sound. Furthermore the amp does look really good and feels solid to the touch.

[@mosesbullrush8051]

On all amps, the sound is MUCH better if your drive the headphones directly from the speaker outputs - just keep the volume very low.

[@dreamdiction]

True, headphones sound much better power from the main speaker connections.

@BunnySpangle1 yeah, it's around 20 yrs old

[@5irR4p70r]

My dad has the KA-7010. Looks similar.

[@roadrunner2710]

Yeah I remember getting my amp about 15 years ago for £200 from edgware

[@dreamdiction]

21 years ago now.

[@jordanlewis3790]

can you give me the low down. as just an every day amp for everyday listening is this worth £75? should i go and buy one right this instant?

[@milosra]

Well, i don't think i'd give 75 for it, i think you can get it cheaper, as far as the charachteristics of the amp go, it is a great amp, but don't expect anything spectacular, it should do the work for everyday listening. Hope this helps

[@jordanlewis3790]

thanks. i got it for a little less but i'm happy with what i paid for it. they are pretty alright amps :)

[@thetruebrit85]

Just acquired Kenwood KA-3020 special edition for £10 & it's pristine not sure where she's going yet but more than likely in the gym in my attic.....:-),

[@dreamdiction]

So what happened? Did you like it? Still using it?
