Offered is „Kondo Overture PM-2i“ by Kondo as second-hand device from the category „Tube-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 407380474 ends on 02.12.2026 at 17:51 o'clock.
This is a strong deal. At €15,900, the Overture sits below the €15,591 25th-percentile benchmark by only €309, and well under the €18,318 median from eight recent comparable listings. For a scarce Kondo Audio Note Japan amplifier in good condition, that is compelling rather than merely fair—assuming the listing is accurately described and the tubes are healthy.
The Overture is a particularly desirable integrated: a pure-class-A, EL34 push-pull design producing roughly 32 watts per channel, with Kondo’s celebrated tonal colour, transparency, timing, and dynamic ease. Its four line inputs and selectable 4/8-ohm outputs make it unusually practical for a high-end valve amplifier. Check tube age, bias operation, transformer hum, and whether the original Kondo AC cable and packaging are included, but none of those checks undermine the price. For suitable, reasonably efficient speakers, this looks like a genuine buying opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Kondo Audio Note Japan
Kondo Audio Note Japan was founded in 1976 by Hiroyasu Kondo, a metallurgist and son of a Buddhist priest whose technical expertise and philosophical approach to sound reproduction shaped the company's identity. Based in Japan, the brand has maintained its independence and commitment to handcrafted manufacturing for nearly five decades, recently adopting the "Kondo" name to reflect its founder's central role in the company's vision and legacy.
The brand is renowned primarily for vacuum-tube amplification, particularly its legendary power amplifiers and preamplifiers. The 1989 Ongaku power amplifier stands as a watershed moment in high-end audio history, establishing Kondo's reputation for sonic refinement and technical innovation. The company also manufactures integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers like the iconic M7 Heritage, and proprietary capacitors—all produced through meticulous, point-to-point hand-wiring and manual assembly processes that prioritize component quality over production volume.
Kondo Audio Note Japan occupies the ultra-premium tier of the hi-fi market, commanding prices that reflect its artisanal manufacturing, exotic component selection, and uncompromising design philosophy. The brand appeals to dedicated audiophiles and collectors who value emotional engagement with music reproduction and are willing to invest substantially in equipment that combines technical excellence with aesthetic and sonic character. Its reputation rests on exclusivity, heritage, and an unwavering commitment to analog-era design principles adapted for contemporary listening.
