Kenwood 54 Manual Stereo Integrated Amplifier HiFi Engine
SOURCE: Vintage Stereo Connection ???
Hi spanky
Where to start :) I am excited thinking about them :p You got 2 totally cool pieces of classic vintage gear there in the C2 and the Marantz. I have a C2 preamp myself (gathering dust but wont sell it cos its
excellent) and the marantz would be totally cool to have(but then I am
a little biased towards 70's vintage marantz). They ruled the roost in
HiFi amps throughout that decade.
Because they are both integrated amps, you could use them as standalone systems with a pair of speakers, and just plug your favourite gear into them. If you just wanted to run up a nice sounding HiFi, I would sell the kenwood gear and just keep the Marantz. The Kenwood kr1100 has the edge in power, so if it is grunt you are looking for use that. Because vintage sound is all about stereo, you only really need an integrated amp to get great results.
the specs are
# Kenwood Model Eleven G (KR-11000G) Receiver
120W per channel min RMS, both channels driven, at 8 ohms from 20 to 20.000 Hz with no more than 0.03% total harmonic distortion.
Dynamic power output 440W at 4 ohms
Power bandwidth 5 Hz to 70.000 HZ
Frequency response 5 Hz to 100.000 HZ -1.5dB
Signal to noise ratio 115dB
The marantz is a little lower in power at 75rms a channel, but will have the sonic edge in vintage sound over the kr1100. Look them up on ebay and you will find that they do have some value to collectors and people seeking nice tone. There is an 1152 for sale here for AU$900
Best bet is to fire up the 2 integrated amps,and see how they are going. Run them for several hours to be sure there is no strange noises and crackles. Then decide if you want power or finesse.
You could also run both amps from the C2 preamp by connecting to the Amp in connections to the rear of the integrated amps.
happy to talk to you more about it, hit me with a Fixya if my advice was helpful to you. I would keep the marantz, use that and sell the rest and buy some nice speakers:)
regards

our company has always said anything can be fixed its only the price that varys i think you have a fault in the switching mech as the unit is 25yrs old they didnt use digital switching back then i think your unit has the old spring loaded power button the problem is that the small spring behind the latch comes loose after many years and needs to be set correctly so take it to a shop and see if they know about spring switch resetting to see if this is deffinitly the problem push the button in hard if the power comes on but goes of as you realease it theres ya fault
best of luck
please take the time to rank my reply
Testimonial: "The spring still seems to work so I suspect this is not the problem, but I will check it out. Thank you."
