1000+ Head-Fier
Jeebus, I have to stay out of here
Kenwood KW-40 tube receiver, made in the early to mid-1960s. The face and case are in near mint condition. 4 EL84 power tubes
Has been partially recapped. Contains a duke's mixture of power and driver tubes. Sounds damn good already though with cans and speakers.

Nice set up. It' interesting that with the aqusition of my 'little monsters' I'm having to totally rethink my listening space. These things won't quietly sit in a corner .
What are you using as stands for your HPM-60's?
Not the best Marantz. I use a Marantz 1040 with my Grado SR325s, SR80 and sometimes HD600 Headphones. And I think it does a decent job driving my headphones.
Any other better Marantz to go for?
Regards.
Hey, don't be knocking the 10** series, They're supposed to be pretty great. I'd love to get a 10** integrated and a 104 tuner, but I would have to sell the 2245 (great mid-price marantz amp btw, pretty powerful, but not as expensive as the 2275 and 2285. Very rich sound, drives my grado's and my sextetts nicely). Many people prefer the 22XX series as far as receivers go, and I think the 2245 is a great step. If you don't have any crazy hard to drive headphones the 2220 might even suffice well.
I think you need to ditch the N64 and pick up one of these to complete your vintage system:
No way baby - my son LOVES the N64! It's his "vintage" interest
