You might try looking on the Kenwood site. Do a search on the model number and see what you come up with.

Kenwood made L-05M and L-07M monobloc amps a long time ago (I've slept since then) but I did own the L-05Ms and found them nice sounding with very solid bass performance. This was in the late 70's or very early 80's. Can't offer much more than that though there was something odd about the connection between the matching preamp and these amps. Also, they came with speaker wire. Short lengths of numerous separately insulated bundled of connectors. About 3/4" in diameter in total if I recall correctly.

Kenwood at the time was offering a full range of high performance products including a couple of turntables. They even had a perimeter record weight that has been copied recently and sells for a ton of $.
