Biete hier eine Harman Kardon Citation 21 Twenty One, Twenty Four 24, Vorverstärker, Endverstärker, Pre Poweramp, Phono MM / MC inkl. zwei Elac UF5 Standlautsprecher in schwarz Seidenmatt an. Der Klang dieser Kombination ist super.
Der Endverstärker inkl. dem Vorverstärker hat mittlerweile den Sammlerstatus erreicht. Leider hat der Endverstärker an der Front einen Kratzer sonst ist alles in einem sehr guten Zustand, wie den Bildern zu entnehmen ist.
Die Standlautsprecher sind in einem Top Zustand (keine Kratzer). Die Original Kartons der Lautsprecher sind noch vorhanden.
Für du Eckdaten der Kombination bitte einfach mal googeln, weil das sonst den Rahmen sprengt. Kenner wissen aber was hier angeboten wird.
Keine Garantie, da privat Verkauf. Nur Abholung und dann kann die Anlage auch gerne Probe gehört werden.
The Harman Kardon Citation 21 is a respected vintage high-end preamp, known for clean sound and ultra-wide bandwidth, though it lacks the warmest tone of some H/K siblings. At €900, this asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile (€706) of the €426–€706 typical used market range anchored by your ground-truth listings. It is not a bargain; it’s an overpriced offer unless the unit is pristine, original-owner, and includes rare accessories.
That said, the Citation 21 remains a well-loved, reliable preamp with low distortion (0.005%) and solid MC/MM sensitivity, making it a worthy core for vintage systems. If this listing is truly in good condition with original cables and manual, and the seller is flexible toward the €706 ceiling, it could become a solid buying opportunity. Otherwise, hold out for a fairer price near the median (€495).

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.
