I had that same Kenwood receiver. It was in mint condition back in '89 when I got it. However the sound was anything but good. My buddy who had it before me replaced all the blown amplifier transistors with ECG equivilant transistor replacements. That could had led to the poor sound. It was overly compressed, lacked treble response and was anemic on dynamic power output going into clipping much to easy. I replaced it with a '91 brand new Kenwood Dolby Surround (not prologic)receiver that was a lot better but not really all that great to the technics receiver I replaced that receiver with.

Good luck and only use audio transistors if they ever need to be replaced.

Have a good one.
