Angeboten wird „PM 665 VXi“ von Harman Kardon als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7932676266 endet am 22.09.2026 um 12:45 Uhr.
Against what it cost new, this is not a bargain: the PM665 Vxi launched as a serious upper-tier integrated, and used-market comps cluster far lower than €1,050, with one enthusiast source calling it a fine buy at at most about €230 and another listing a working example around €250. At €1,050, this asking price is well above the typical used range and feels ambitious unless it includes exceptional provenance, full service documentation, or a truly mint cosmetic/state-of-preservation example.
That said, it’s an appealing amp when priced right: 150 Wpc, high-current design, a very respectable phono stage, and the kind of old-school drive and control that still makes it satisfying with real speakers. If this one is clean, fully original, and recently serviced, it could be a lovely long-term keeper—but at this price I’d want proof of a documented recap or restoration, because age-related maintenance matters more than cosmetics on a 1980s integrated.

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.
