    Audio Review - Re: Kenwood 6070 http://www.audioreview.com/PRD_135050_2718crx.aspx[/url] Ok, maybe some of you will choose to read these reviews, some of you will not. They are written by just average folks who happen to own the Kenwood 6070, and read the audio review website. Out...

    Lucas, I heard the VR-6070, there you go again, Assuming... I heard the same thing out of the 6070 as what I heard and bought the 6060; I auditioned both units along with several other brands in an enclosed sound room at a very high-end audio store over several days. The sales manager at...

    Bill...Will... Both of you.... Where were you when the proverbial poop was in the fan? I was an island of dissent amongst a pack of rabid Kenwoodaholics! I could have used some backup man! I need a wingman!:laugh:

    Once again, the point was missed... Lucas, The point was... that you said I was the only person experiencing problems with the Kenwood. I produced proof that you statement was inaccurate. You insist on vilifying the messenger when I simply started out by saying that I personally did...

    For those who are wondering what exactly THX gives you when you buy a THX "certified" receiver. Excerpt from Polk Audio Web Site: http://www.polkaudio.com/home/faqad/...rticle=formats Home THX components are not necessarily better or worse than other products: they have simply earned THX...

    [SIZE=2]Lee, A good weekend to you as well. I must say that your comment that I "abuse" my system was a bit harsh. I listen to music and watch Digital video much in the same manner as my brother. He happens to own a Sony DA3ES, and has been very happy with it. I was not impressed with his...

    Lee, I am aware that there is more involved in the manufacture of separates than the combined "do everything unit" known as a receiver. In a pre-amp/power-amp situation, you have units designed to do one thing and to do it very well. I have owned and sold these types of systems way back in...

    First off, I never complained or compared or tried to say that I thought that my Kenwood VR-6060 would perform like multi-thousand dollar separates. If anyone would bother to READ my posts, I was simply explaining that THD has more to do with quality of sound than some of you may be aware of...

    Geez Guy's Just remove all source material from your VR6060 or VR6070 {they Still do have the very same AMP and POWER supply- irregardless of what THX tag you put on it} remove all source material, like I was saying... And then turn up the volume slowly. You will hear your .7% whether you...

    I actually read in another un-named stereo related forum, a thread from a supposed "expert" that proposed that "THD has nothing at all to do with the quality of an amplifier". And... "People who quote THD as a reasonable quality judgment are just old outdated stereo hacks". I wanted to reach...

    Kenwood USA - there is no difference in the power supply or the amp between the 6060/6070. The video hardware is also exactly the same. The only real difference is the Pre-outs on the 6070. Which you will need if you do not appreciate distortion in your surround channels.:angry: Why buy a...

    Kenwood VR-6070 closeout at BB: worth it?

    I may be confused, but my Kenwood VR-6060 has no pre-outs, so there is no option to add an Amp for the mains or surrounds etc... You are right, the inputs are not re-assignable. But when I bought the unit, I remember thinking, Gosh, I will never use all of these inputs! Little did I know...

    I have owned the 6060 for about 6 months now. No way to get out of the defaults... Unless you select (input mode) {analog}. And then you have a drop off in volume. That is one of the main problems with the 6060/6070. That and the less than clean rear channel amplifier sections. "Note: The...
