Hallo, hier biete ich meinen Harman Kardon AVR 200 AV Receiver an, den ich seit Jahren nicht mehr nutze und hoffe das er in guten Händen kommen kann.
€65 is a strong buy for an AVR 200 in excellent condition; for a working Harman Kardon receiver of this vintage, that sits at the low end of the usual used range. It’s priced like a quick-sale listing rather than a polished auction, so if it powers up cleanly and all channels work, I’d call it a bargain.
What makes it worth grabbing is the classic Harman Kardon appeal: substantial build, a warm/solid house sound, and enough muscle to make older speakers sound bigger and more composed than many budget AVRs. The upside here is mainly condition and completeness, so original remote, calibration mic, and a tidy, unmolested unit add real value. Since it’s an older surround receiver, I’d still verify HDMI isn’t part of the deal and that switching, volume, and all inputs are stable.
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.
