Angeboten wird „Harman/ Kardon AVR 247 7.1 AV-Receiver Heimkino“ von Harman Kardon als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Surround Receiver“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2796389009 endet am 09.08.2026 um 11:06 Uhr.
The AVR-247 sits in Harman Kardon’s well-liked late-2000s AVR lineup: solid build, punchy sound, and enough muscle for a straightforward 5.1/7.1 living-room setup. At €150, it’s above your recent comparable market, which has a €87 median and a €118 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain.
That said, it can still make sense if you want a clean, older receiver with a good reputation for sound quality and the listing is complete. The upside is mainly value for someone who needs a dependable home-theater hub and appreciates Harman Kardon’s character, but I’d want confirmation on remote, HDMI/optical inputs working, and no protection-mode weirdness before paying this level.

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.
