Description

Kenwood Basic M1A and Kenwood Basic C1 - both received a full service 2 years ago, which included cleaning switches and potentiometers, soldering, replacing capacitors, setting operating points, etc.
This was done by a professional electronics workshop.

€1 OFFERED
I have these and wanted to ask you about recapping cost.

Could you please accept my offer for pm purposes only?

For anyone looking to buy: The Kenwood Basic C1 and M1 is a very underrated setup, which produces superb sound for the price

I can assure you that the price does not cover all the costs of purchase, servicing and courier delivery, and that was two years ago.
I wish to keep only the top-of-the-range models from the product line in my collection.
The top-of-the-range models here are the Kenwood Basic M2 and the Kenwood Basic C2.
Thank you for viewing.

I’d like to briefly explain what the damping factor, resistance and impedance are.
The damping factor is the internal resistance of an amplifier; the higher it is, the lower the amplifier’s internal resistance, and the more readily it responds to sudden surges in the current sent to the speakers.
Resistance is the opposition of a wire to the current flowing through it, and it is a constant value.
Impedance is the resistance of a wire wound into a coil; electromagnetic forces come into play here, causing the resistance to increase and decrease.
Impedance is not a constant value; it is a variable quantity, meaning that the impedance of the speakers may be 8 ohms but can also drop to as low as 4 ohms.
Most people have heard of speakers known as ‘amp killers’; their impedance drops to 0.5 ohms, causing the power amplifier to burn out.
Sigma Drive is a technology designed to supply the speakers with additional electrical power when their impedance drops.
This delivers a proper punch in the bass.

Thanks

That's a clear explanation

Appreciate it.
