I hate to bust your bubble, but that McIntosh costs insanely more money for a VERY good reason.....in terms of sound quality, that Kenwood couldn't wipe the Mac's ass when it goes to the bathroom !!!
It ain't about looks man, it's about the SOUND........
....but for most of the world......that Kenwood unit will do just fine. It's a fine unit and you will no doubt be pleased with it, just don't try and compare it to a McIntosh please. Like comparing the handling of a VW bug to a Porsche.
