Kenwood #10
june 2005

Model 700T
Model 700C
Model 700M

(1974 - 1979)

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.

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 tag... sure. But these really were supreme and in many point, they still are.

The images gathered for this post come from a '75/76 7-page german color brochure and a june 1974 8-page b/w USA catalog, both dedicated to the three units, and a german '76/77 general catalog. I haven't scanned the xxx-rare dedicated japanese catalog yet...
