Description

Kenwood KR-A4070 — 60 Watts, Proper Phono Stage, Original Remote

A clean, straightforward mid-1990s Kenwood stereo receiver delivering 60 watts per channel, well suited as the reliable heart of a vinyl-and-tuner system or a simple second setup.

Specifications and Features

The KR-A4070 comes from Kenwood’s long tradition of honest, well-sorted receivers: 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms across the full 20Hz–20kHz bandwidth at just 0.01% total harmonic distortion. A built-in MM phono input welcomes a turntable directly, the tape monitor loop handles recording or an outboard equalizer, and separate bass, treble, and balance controls give real hands-on adjustment that modern minimalist gear has abandoned. The original Kenwood remote control is included — a convenience surprisingly rare among surviving receivers of this era.

Kenwood began in 1946 as Kasuga Radio in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. As Trio, it sold its products in America under the Kenwood name, and took that name worldwide in 1986. We carry Kenwood stereo receivers and AV receivers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners and CD players. We've had nearly 60 Kenwood listings so far, covering about 50 different models. Every used Kenwood here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program.

Kenwood models we've sold more than once include the KM-208 power amplifier and the KA-550D integrated amplifier.

The Kenwood story, 1946 to today

Kasuga Radio was founded in 1946 in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, making radio components, and opened a mass-production plant in Tokyo in 1955. It was renamed Trio around 1960.

Where the name came from. Kenwood was coined in America. Bill Kasuga and George Aratani set up Kenwood Electronics in the early 1960s to sell Trio products in the US, and Kasuga said he chose "Ken" because it works as both a Japanese and an American name. Trio later bought Kenwood Electronics, and in 1986 the whole company became Kenwood Corporation.

The hi-fi years. Trio-Kenwood built KR receivers through the 1970s, the KA-1000 integrated amplifier with heat-pipe cooling in 1980, and late-1980s amplifiers with Sigma Drive, which takes the feedback loop out to the speaker terminals. The KR-A receivers ran from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s.

Today. Kenwood merged with JVC between 2008 and 2011, and JVCKENWOOD Corporation now owns the brand. In Canada, Kenwood today sells car audio, two-way radios and earbuds rather than home hi-fi.
