Harman Kardon PA2400 deal - worth it?

[dave_k]

Hi,
i found a deal for Harman Kardon PA2400 for 200 euros shipped. The description is "found under the attic, switches on". From the photos it is *incredibly* dusty. I'll ask for more photos but it looks atleast optically in good condition. One other deal i found is this amp + harman kardon preamp for 1800 euros. I am able to recap (the TK caps in harman amps like to leak a lot) and adjust it, though i think it's not old enough (96/97) to be in a bad condition unless it's been abused.
Specs:


What do you guys think? Is it worth it? If anything, does it have a resale value of atleast the 200 euros (250usd) ?

Those are good amps I had it's little brother the PA2200, depending on it's condition it seems a little high. I have seen them go for less on Audiogon in great shape.

Hmm, what would be the adequate price?
I've seen them go for around 400-700 euros.
I currently have HK6500, i dont need 200Wpch anyway, would that be a big upgrade in terms of sound?

$200 USD MAX, I sold a PA 2200, HK AP2500 and Citation tuner recently on barter town for around $150 as I recall which is what I paid for the stack on BT.

Interesting. As i said, these ones go for 500 euros cheap, i've seen them go on auction sites for 800 euros as well. Btw, is the prestige series PA2400 vs PA2400 any difference?
