Kentwood hangs on to models for a long time before replacing them generally.
It's find with me, that way if I stick with Kentwood I wont' get too far
behind, I don't think I'll see a new radio again here ever but if my TS-2000
waits until my son's grown up, maybe I can finally put something aside again
and in 20 or so years replace it with the next generation radio, they should
only be 10 years old by then I figure.
