Vintage Kenwood Super Eleven // Solid-State Receiver / Restored

One of the more rare and coveted Japanese monster receivers, the Kenwood Super Eleven is a sight to behold. Not to be confused with the Model 11, the Super Eleven's wood trim and blue readout elegantly offset the black face, and the 125W output delivers headroom to all but the hungriest of speakers. Top working order.
