Granted they only produce 150W of power, they were the bottom of the high end Japanese audio gear made by Kenwood, right before they introduced Accuphase.
I picked up mine new at a PX for less than $350 total for all four when nobody knew what they were. Preamp retailed for about $1k, power amps about $650ea and the tuner $350.
Interestingly, the units you show here have very similar font and type and controls as the early monoral Mitsubishi units DA-C20 series.
