isthatfreedomrock Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Thoughts on this pairing? Is it a decent pairing with the KG4's? I can buy the Kg4's for around $100 as they are a little beat up on the outside, missing badges and will need refinishing. One of the woofers may need repair and/or eventual replacement. The Kenwood KA-5700 is going for $150. Seems to be in good working order. I only have more modern equipment and not sure what I'm getting myself into. Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

JohnA Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think it will be a good match. Enough power. I had a KA-5500 in collich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oros Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 KG 4's, mine like every amp I play them on, I have the Kenwood KA 7100 they play great on this amp as well as a Teac BX-300. The solid state amp of mine they realy shine on is a bottom of the line 12 w Technics SUZ-15, go figure. So I would not be concerned, they are very forgiving speakers. Feed them with a good push pull triode switchable EL 34 amp, and you are in for a very pleasantly surprising listening experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a particular budget EL34 amp you'd recommend? Mostly punching some 70's 80's hard rock through the KG4's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly punching some 70's 80's hard rock through the KG4's. Line Magnetic 211IA, this amp is stunning on both my Cornscala D's, and the KG 4's. It even gets my Vandersteen 2CE Signatures realy rocking on 12W triode without any problems at all. Built like a German tank not at all like a Russian one. At $1850 new it cant be beat. It stands head to toe with my other amplification, an Audio Research SP16L Pre, and Opera Consonance Cyber 800 mono blocks. That is $6,000 worth of amps. I have done direct comparisons on my set ups with a lot of other amps some costing upwards of $6,000+, it has seen most off, none have realy bettered it unless you nit pick.
