As for the unit itself there’s a glowing red display in the center labeled “Power Indicator” which has LED indicators which light up on either side of it for left and right channels. The sound is neutral, as far as I can hear. 80’s Marantz gear worked out pretty good. And also the performance of the Marantz PM750DC Integrated Amp… The KA-8300 said ‘hey Kenwood was actually pretty serious, way back when’, and the PM750DC said ‘products built shortly after the peak of a manufacturer’s greatness can be a great deal’. Probably what won me over on this unit was the excellent experience I’ve had listening to the Kenwood KA-8300. The receiver is still working, although some of the EQ and DSP buttons seem to have a mind of their own these days. But an Aiwa is an Aiwa, even if this was their attempt to break out of the minisystem market and be seen as something more legit in the hi-fi world. I admit, the trademark green source buttons with the active one lit in red both looked cool and was quite functional from across the room as well. I bought that receiver at Best Buy in the 90s, back in the era when Aiwa minisystems were the bomb and everyone had to have one of those. And yet here we are.įor a very long time now I’ve had an old Aiwa receiver that’s been the heart of my living room stereo setup. That’s more wattage than any sane or reasonable person would ever need. It’s nothing special to look at but it’s got some significant power: rated at 150W RMS into 8Ω with 0.015% THD–from 5Hz to 200kHz (according to HiFiEngine). Predictably that expectation came true in the form of a Kenwood KM-209 power amp from the 80s that I got for just $50. So I spent a bunch of time on Craigslist not long ago helping a friend pick out components for his first “real” stereo and when I started doing this I knew that certainly I would come across something for myself that would prove too good of a deal to resist.
