A notably capable vintage integrated rather than a mere budget amp, the PM655 Vxi at €120 is a strong bargain. That is below the €147 25th-percentile comparable price and far under the €295 median, making it excellent value if “good” condition is accurate.
Its appeal is substantial drive—around 90 watts per channel—with a lively, dynamic presentation, useful tone controls, and an unusually versatile MM/MC phono stage. It is a heavy, well-equipped design that can partner confidently with demanding speakers. At this price, age-related quirks such as scratchy controls or intermittent input switching are worth checking, but they are reasonable inspection points rather than reasons to pass. Confirm both channels, phono, controls, and speaker outputs work cleanly, and this looks like a very worthwhile buy.
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.
