Gave harman kardon gla55 ("glass") speakers in goede staat met kabels, beschermhoezen en doos. Je ziet ze niet vaak te koop staan en meestal zijn de tweeters ingedeukt, maar deze zijn nog he
These are long-discontinued speakers from around 2009, so timing matters mostly as an age check rather than a generation upgrade question. At €450, the ask sits above the clearest recent used examples I found in Europe, including a €200 listing, so it reads a bit ambitious unless this pair is unusually clean, complete, and ideally with original packaging.
What still makes them interesting is the design: they’re striking desktop/multimedia speakers with a substantial 2-way active setup, decent output, and a reputation for sounding bigger and more polished than typical computer speakers. If the chrome/acrylic finish is pristine and both channels are healthy, they have real collector appeal. The main buyer point is condition: confirm both amps work quietly, all inputs are clean, and no repair history is lurking, because age-related issues matter more here than with newer gear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Harman Kardon traces its origins to 1953, when Dr. Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon, both engineers frustrated with conservative audio manufacturing at the David Bogen Company, invested $5,000 each to launch their venture in Westbury, New York. Their debut product, the Festival D1000, became the world's first compact AM/FM hi-fi receiver, blending breakthrough technology with sleek design to make high-fidelity sound accessible beyond technical enthusiasts. Pioneering innovations like the 1958 Festival TA230 stereo receiver, the 1959 Citation II ultra-wide bandwidth tube amplifier, and the 1970 CAD5 hi-fi cassette recorder with Dolby noise reduction cemented their legacy in simplifying premium audio for the home.
The brand focuses on integrated receivers, amplifiers, tuners, and speakers that emphasize performance, reliability, and elegant industrial design. Over decades, it expanded into home theater systems and automotive audio, powering systems in vehicles from Land Rover and BMW to Volvo and Polestar. While not delving into turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, Harman Kardon prioritizes cohesive hi-fi components that deliver warm, detailed sound without unnecessary complexity.
Harman Kardon holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, renowned among knowledgeable buyers for its enduring quality and value rather than ultra-high-end exotica or vintage collector status. Now part of Harman International, it appeals to discerning listeners seeking dependable, stylish gear that echoes its innovative heritage without commanding boutique premiums.
