Kenwood Supreme 700M
Kenwood Supreme 700C
Kenwood Supreme 700T
(1974 - 1979)

Followers of the original Supreme 1 (1967), the Supremes were Kenwood's first set of separates and some of the most elegant audio components ever. Drool, drool more, envy, envy even more... hard to find. As high-end audio from the early 1970s, preamplifier, amplifier and FM tuner, one can hardly do better. Even today.

Available in Japan with wood-enclosures AND under the SUPREME banner, a tag unseen officially elsewhere.
Only the first few pre-production samples had SUPREME engraved in top right corner of the front plates : Kenwood, however, changed its mind for the production Supremes...

The SUPREME tag may seem like an all too often used marketing gimmick... But these really were supreme and in many points, they still are. To name but a few, we're here on the level of the Yamaha NS-1000, the Sony TA-N7B, the Luxman C-5000a or the Pioneer M-22 : audio pantheon, center stage.
