Are you looking at a genuinely tested unit, or mainly buying the Harman Kardon badge? At €150, this sits almost exactly on the comparable-market median of €154: fair, but not a bargain. It is well below the €293 upper quartile, so the price is defensible if the receiver is confirmed working and cosmetically sound.
The HK 500 appears to be a vintage tuner rather than a full stereo receiver, which makes the listing title worth clarifying before paying. Its classic silver-face presentation and Harman Kardon build appeal to collectors, but value depends heavily on whether the tuner, outputs, switches, lamps, and tuning mechanism all function properly. Ask for a clear rear-panel photo and a demonstration of reception and output; with that confirmed, €150 is reasonable, though a lower price would better reflect the uncertainty.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
