Kenwood KA-5500

The Kenwood KA-5500 integrated amplifier is one of our favorites! It shares the same 15-inch width as its sibling, the KA-5700, but delivers sound akin to the larger KA-7100.

The 5500 is an excellent amplifier that is somewhat rare, as it doesn't often appear for sale. This compact unit offers many of the features and sounds of its larger counterparts. We recommend this unit for those who desire a compact system but are using less efficient speakers.
