Harman Kardon HK-980 Stereo Integrated Amplifier 80 WPC mint (new Capacitors)

About this deal

The Harman Kardon HK 980 is a well-documented stereo integrated amplifier produced between 2005 and 2012. It was manufactured by Harman Kardon and produced from 2005 to 2012. It delivers 80W RMS per channel into 8 ohms (under 0.09% THD), rising to 120W into 4 ohms, with a high instantaneous current capability of 80A and a damping factor of over 125. Key features include a phono input, A/B speaker selection, and heavy-duty binding posts. The ultrawide bandwidth stretches from 10Hz to 170kHz at 1W, and the amplifier uses discrete output devices, weighing in at 12.7kg. This unit is aimed at serious two-channel music listeners who want a dedicated integrated amplifier rather than a receiver. It includes preamp outputs and a remote control. The system remote can control the amplifier as well as compatible tuners, CD players, and CD recorders, with connected devices operated via the remote control output jack. This particular example has had new capacitors fitted, which is a common and worthwhile service on amplifiers of this age, helping to restore performance to original specification and extend service life considerably.
