Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $750.00 from Singapore

Summary:
I got my Kinergetics Research KBA-75 3 month ago in a secondhand Electronic shop in Singapore, This Amp is one of the best power amplifier I have ever seen. It is solid built and very powerfull pure class-A power amplifier. Its sound is very clear, strong bass & sweet especially for those who like to listen to classical or sentimental music. It shall give the better sound if couple with a same Brand class-A preamplifier or Rotel preamp.

Strengths:
Powerfull, sweet, clarity, solid design.

Weaknesses:
Get hot very fast (May be due to class-A operation), having an unexpected sound when shutting of the amp.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $500.00

Summary:
got this KBA75 power plant fm my friend about 5yrs ago and till today, i'm still using it. this amp is very tough, rigid & powerful. unfortunately, i don't have the specification of this amp because this amp is easily more 8yrs++ old. the only information that i know of is this amp is 75w/ch class A as stated on the front chasis. i believed this amp could delivered the power more much than 75w as i compared with a rotel bx980 which rated 120w/ch. the sound production is awesome. clear & smooth for high & mid & the bass is tigh. soundstage is good. realised that this amp paired well with nad & rotel pre amp. try using adcom, halfer & vicent pre amp, the sound is abit harsh because i find that the high is not bright enought as compared. clarity is important to me because i listen to alot of vocals. sound even sweeter when this amp is warm & this amp never seem to get fatigue. all i can say is this is indeed a gd amp for the price i paid & it is a tough amp to beat!

Strengths:
solid build, rigid & powerful. warm & sweet. clarity.

Weaknesses:
get warm very fast.
