Kenwood Model 700C

1 9 7 4 1974
1 9 7 9 1979

Part of Kenwood's Supreme Series and follower of the original Supreme 1, the Supremes were Kenwood's first set of separates and some of the most elegant audio components ever.

The Model 700C holds plenty that was ultra-high-end in '74/75 - see the large two-page schematiic of the Model 700C here


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.
