Lexicon RV-6 AV Receiver Trying to sell this again at a lower price. New in Box - Lexicon RV-6 High End Audiophile AV Receiver by Harman Purchased for projector room which never eventuated. Well over $8.9k RRP. Has been opened and powered on to test that it works. Whilst this receiver not HDMI 2.1 capable(only really important if wanting to hook up a PS5 or Xbox Series X directly to it), its capable of decoding Dolby Atmos and DTS: X and processing 11 channels and driving all 7 Channels at 90W! The internal amplifier supports 7 Channels and 4 more can be decoded for external amplifiers.
Against your recent AUD comps, A$3,600 is well above the A$1,351 75th percentile and far above the A$551 median, so this reads as ambitious rather than fair. For a used AV receiver, that only makes sense if it is a particularly desirable or effectively mint example with standout extras; otherwise it is priced like a top-of-market outlier.
That said, Lexicon gear has a reputation for strong processing, solid build quality, and a loyal home-theater following, so the right buyer may still value it for performance and rarity. If the unit is clean, fully working, and complete with remote and calibration/setup items, that adds some appeal—but at this asking price I would want clear proof of condition, channel count, and any recent servicing before treating it as a serious buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lexicon was founded in 1971 in Waltham, Massachusetts, by MIT professor Dr. Francis F. Lee and engineer Chuck Bagnaschi, who initially developed digital audio devices for medical applications before pivoting to music production technology. The company's heritage is rooted in pioneering the digital audio revolution at a time when analog processing dominated the industry. This foundation established Lexicon as a forward-thinking innovator from its inception, positioning the brand at the forefront of technological advancement in professional audio.
Lexicon is renowned primarily for digital effects processing, particularly reverb and delay systems that became industry standards. The company's breakthrough came with the 1978 introduction of the Lexicon 224 Digital Reverberator, which revolutionized studio recording by delivering high-quality digital reverb at roughly half the cost of competing systems. Beyond reverb processors, Lexicon expanded into digital audio interfaces like the 300 and 480L, and later developed premium audio systems for luxury automobiles including Rolls-Royce, Hyundai, and Kia models. The brand's product ecosystem reflects its dual focus on professional studio equipment and high-end consumer applications.
Lexicon occupies the premium professional and high-end consumer segment, commanding respect as the gold standard in digital audio processing. The company's algorithms remain benchmarks in the industry, with its distinctive reverb signature audible across decades of classic recordings. Lexicon's influence is substantial—the brand claims involvement in approximately 80 percent of the world's recorded music. Now operating under Harman International (a Samsung subsidiary) since 1993, Lexicon continues to innovate while maintaining its legacy as the defining force in digital reverb technology and a cornerstone of professional audio production worldwide.
