Help Please !

Hello All , I recently purchased a new in the box never opened Kenwood KT-5500 and a pair of Realistic PA-25 also new in the box. I thought I would be able to plug the speakers in and go ! But to my surprise the receiver requires an amplifier or a preamplifier in order for me to use it. What do I need ?

Hi. Welcome.

What did you think you were buying with this ancient component? What are you after. I am surprised there are still brand new, factory sealed components still available.

It seems to be an AM-FM tuner only. You need a receiver for this tuner. Perhaps you can find a Kenwood receiver in your budget.
Good luck.

You are correct ! The box clearly says Am-Fm Tuner ! I just jumped the gun. I thought I was buying a unit to just plug in the speakers and go. So when you say I need a receiver, can you expand on that ?
