It's the greatest Integrated Amp Kenwood ever made. I reviewed it here at AA. The phono stage is world class, it can drive any pair of speakers, can handle any woofer-especially when hooked up for "Sigma Drive" operation. It's just a total beast in every way.
I've used it as a straight preamp when some of my audiophle friends thought they were hearing an Electocompaniet-boy were they surprised. And I have used it as a stand alone phono stage and it's a killer in that capacity too.
As a power amp, it's very smooth, lots of balls, excellent detail.
I also own a KA-9100 which I've reviewed here as well. The KA-9100 can drive the hell out of a pair of B&W N802D's, and those speakers dip low in the ohms department. The amp got hot, but it sounded awesome driving the B&W's and it has a darn nice MM phono stage.
I also have a KA-907, which was my favorite amp until i got the L-02A. The 907 is awesome!
But you asked for the best and the L-02A is it! Check out that detachable PSU....this bbad boy weights over 80 LBS!!!
