Is €31,500 a fair price for a used Kondo Overture, or is it stretching the budget for an “entry-level” Kondo? At €31,500, this listing sits well above the median used price of €18,991 and exceeds the 75th percentile of €20,404, making it an ambitious ask rather than a bargain. New Overture PM-2i models currently retail between €34,650 and €35,080, so while this used price offers some savings over new, it’s still steep compared to the typical used market anchored by your database.
That said, the Overture is widely respected for blending EL34 push-pull power with triode-like musicality, delivering 32W/channel with rich harmonic detail and exceptional tonal warmth. If this unit is original-owner, in excellent condition, and includes original tubes or accessories, the premium may reflect rarity and timing in a market where clean examples are scarce. For a serious Kondo fan ready to invest in NOS tubes and silver cables, a well-maintained Overture at this price can still be a compelling long-term buy—just not a quick-value deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Kondo Audio Note Japan
Kondo Audio Note Japan was founded in 1976 by Hiroyasu Kondo, a metallurgist and son of a Buddhist priest whose technical expertise and philosophical approach to sound reproduction shaped the company's identity. Based in Japan, the brand has maintained its independence and commitment to handcrafted manufacturing for nearly five decades, recently adopting the "Kondo" name to reflect its founder's central role in the company's vision and legacy.
The brand is renowned primarily for vacuum-tube amplification, particularly its legendary power amplifiers and preamplifiers. The 1989 Ongaku power amplifier stands as a watershed moment in high-end audio history, establishing Kondo's reputation for sonic refinement and technical innovation. The company also manufactures integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers like the iconic M7 Heritage, and proprietary capacitors—all produced through meticulous, point-to-point hand-wiring and manual assembly processes that prioritize component quality over production volume.
Kondo Audio Note Japan occupies the ultra-premium tier of the hi-fi market, commanding prices that reflect its artisanal manufacturing, exotic component selection, and uncompromising design philosophy. The brand appeals to dedicated audiophiles and collectors who value emotional engagement with music reproduction and are willing to invest substantially in equipment that combines technical excellence with aesthetic and sonic character. Its reputation rests on exclusivity, heritage, and an unwavering commitment to analog-era design principles adapted for contemporary listening.
