Yamaha Rx396 Rds I fungerande skick dock utan fjärrkontroll
This one is right around fair market, and the timing matters only in the sense that the RX-396 is an older, no-nonsense stereo-era receiver rather than a modern feature box. With comparable SEK listings centered at kr621 and a kr581–kr835 spread, a kr650 ask sits a touch above the median but still comfortably inside the typical range.
What makes it worth a look is the Yamaha house sound: these are generally sturdy, straightforward receivers that do the basics well, with clean switching, sensible power, and a reputation for long service life. For a simple living-room or secondary-system amp, that’s solid value if it’s been tested properly. Because the condition is unspecified, I’d want confirmation that all inputs, controls, and channels behave quietly and that the unit powers up cleanly; at kr650, it’s a buy if it’s genuinely working and not scratchy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Yamaha stands as one of the world's most storied audio manufacturers, with roots extending far beyond consumer electronics. Founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan, the company began as a reed organ manufacturer before expanding into pianos and eventually becoming a comprehensive musical instrument maker. This deep heritage in acoustics and materials science would prove foundational to its later audio ventures. The company operated under its original name, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., until 1987, when it was renamed Yamaha Corporation in honor of its centennial.
Yamaha's entry into high-fidelity audio proved transformative for the industry itself. In 1954, the company released the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player, widely recognized as the world's first audio component to bear the "Hi-Fi" designation in its name. The company subsequently built a comprehensive product portfolio spanning amplifiers—beginning with the acclaimed A-100 in 1960—speakers, turntables, and digital audio equipment. The NS-1000 speakers, introduced in 1974 with beryllium drivers, became iconic reference monitors. Yamaha also pioneered digital audio technology, shipping the world's first CD recorder in 1988.
Today, Yamaha occupies a distinctive position as a mid-to-high-end generalist rather than a niche specialist. The brand commands respect among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles, balancing accessibility with genuine engineering credibility. Its reputation rests on six decades of consistent innovation, proven reliability, and the unique advantage of applying musical instrument expertise to audio reproduction. Vintage Yamaha components remain highly sought by collectors, while current products maintain the brand's tradition of delivering performance and durability across multiple price tiers.
