The TC-K770ES already belonged to the top class at that time and leaves several top decks that are only a few years older clearly behind it, at least in terms of sound. However, over the years, a few design weaknesses have become apparent, such as the failure of the control for the drive buttons, which have sent many a K770 to the e-scrap despite looking as good as new.
