Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Excellent condition makes this a solid but not standout ask at €395, landing just above the €372 median and above the €380 75th percentile, so it reads as mildly ambitious rather than a bargain. It’s close enough to fair that a clean, serviced example can still make sense, but there isn’t a big cushion for uncertainty.

That’s still an appealing price for a PM665 if it’s genuinely tidy: these are respected, muscular late-80s integrateds with good drive, a strong phono stage, and the kind of authoritative, warm grip that flatters real speakers. At this level, I’d want proof it’s operating quietly with no scratchy controls, relay issues, or channel imbalance, since age-related service needs matter more than cosmetics.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Harman Kardon

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.
