Allt fungerar fint. 2 ingångar för phono Monomöjlighet Bra skick för att vara från cirka 1978 men det finns repor och tecken på användning. https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/harman-kardon/citation-17s.shtml
At kr2,500, this sits a bit above the kr2,012 median but still well inside the typical used spread, so it reads as fair rather than expensive. It is not a screaming bargain versus the kr1,095 lower quartile, but it is also comfortably below the kr2,983 upper quartile, which is a sensible zone for a known-brand subwoofer.
That makes it a reasonable buy if it’s working properly and the finish is clean. Harman Kardon’s Citation gear is generally well-liked for solid bass support, tidy build quality, and easy integration in a living-room system, so the real value here is getting a capable, low-fuss sub at a fair market price. At this level, condition matters most: check for amplifier noise, driver damage, and whether any original setup pieces or power lead are included.

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.
