b@ndicoot Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Item: Model 600 Integrated Amplifier ("The Holy Grail") Location: Melbourne. Price:$2200 Item Condition:Excellent, some very tiny marks can be seen when up really close but for age is in exceptional condition.. Fascia is in very very good condition. Reason for selling: Mental.. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: One of the most rare amplifiers on the planet! I doubt there would be more than 3-4 in the country. (Bare in mind this is an international variable voltage model) Only made as limited units. The '600' is said to be the sweetest of the series.. Has had a ground up rebuild by Dallas Clarke of Clarke Audio. A substantial amount has been spent on bringing it back as new and to spec. A review from The Vintage Knob can be found here. https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.thevintageknob.org/kenwood-Model_600.html&ved=0ahUKEwiTi7zZ8fvKAhUEpJQKHX4qAQIQFggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNGSnQCJjCW7NacA3U5vBgqZbPLq3g&sig2=eKLCNgIzNlNce0l2F3M9JA Pictures: Edited February 16, 2016 by b@ndicoot 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think this is the predecessor of the KA-9100 similar to what was listed here a couple of weeks ago. Dual Mono bliss! Very nice clean unit you have there. Great looks and design. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b@ndicoot Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 @@Litespeed this is a completely different beast to the 9100 series.. I have a 9150 also, although great amplifiers in their own right the Supreme series were a "We can build the best out there" for Kenwood/Kensonic at that time. This was a cost o objective build, along with the Model 500 and the pre/power 700C/700M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundfan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If I had the coin to buy a truly great vintage Integrated amp, this would be top of my list. Never heard one, but from all the stuff I've read about the 600 over the years, I doubt I'd be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Don't want to hijack, as that 600 is a killer amp and one I'd love to own one day. I have a KA-9100 if that's of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
