Amplificatore integrato made in Japan, potenza 40 + 40 watt, testato e perfettamente funzionante, eccellenti condizioni estetiche, versione più rara con frontale “anthracite”.L’apparecchio è compatibile per il collegamento con un ricevitore bluetooth per l’ascolto da piattaforme di streaming come Spotify, Apple music, etc..
The timing is right because this is a late-1970s amp from an era that has mostly been replaced, so value is driven by condition and originality more than specs. At US$303, the ask sits a bit above a recent used example around US$243 before shipping, so I’d call it fair-to-firm rather than a bargain.
It’s a worthwhile buy if it’s clean and fully working: the AM-2400 is a respected 40 wpc integrated that reviewers describe as strong on bass and generally very musical, with enough current for modest vintage or efficient modern speakers. If it’s original-owner, recently serviced, or includes the faceplate, knobs, and wood case, that adds real value; if not, I’d want proof of quiet controls, stable channels, and no scratchy switching before paying near this level.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Akai Electric Company Ltd. traces its origins to Japan, founded by engineer Masukichi Akai in Tokyo around 1929, with his son Saburo Akai playing a key role in its early growth. Initially focused on affordable radio components, the firm formalized as a full electronics manufacturer post-World War II, often cited as 1946. By the mid-20th century, Akai had evolved into a prominent name in consumer audio, peaking in the 1970s before financial troubles led to its exit from the industry in 1991.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality tape-based audio gear, including reel-to-reel tape recorders, cassette decks, tuners, amplifiers, and complete stereo systems that brought professional-grade sound to homes. In the late 1980s, Akai Professional revolutionized music production with the MPC series—starting with the 1988 MPC60, co-designed by Roger Linn—integrating sampling, sequencing, and velocity-sensitive pads into compact workstations that defined hip-hop and electronic genres.
Today, Akai holds a revered vintage-collector status among hi-fi enthusiasts for its robust 1970s components, prized for their warm analog character and build quality. In the pro audio realm, the MPC line endures as an iconic, mid-to-high-end tool for beatmakers, with modern iterations sustaining the brand through licensing. While not a current leader in traditional hi-fi like amplifiers or speakers, its heritage appeals to savvy buyers seeking timeless reliability over fleeting trends.
