I'm selling a Harman Kardon PA2000 Amp.

45 WPC RMS x 4 channels
100 WPC RMS bridged to 2 channels

Anyone who knows Harman Kardon gear knows that they underrate their specs quite a bit. The amp sounds great, and provides the very rich, tube-like warmth that Harman Kardon amps are known for. Its a very musical amp, and has a very good synergy with my polk RTi8's, as it really brings the mid-range out, and tames the brightness of the RTi's tweeter.

Sonically its 10/10...aesthetically its 7/10. a few scratches and slight discoloration on the face that is only noticeable if you look for it.

I picked this up as an experiment in bi-amping my 8's, but decided it was more trouble than its worth. Price is 100 + shipping. Paypal is fine..I'll eat the fee.

    Estimated cost is $16.13 on UPS' website. $115 shipped works for me. The good news is since you're relatively close to me, it should arrive within 1 business day via UPS ground.

    Front shot: There's some slight discoloration along the front of the face. It isn't really visible unless a bright line is being shined on the face (flash on a camera for instance), but its there

    Back part of the unit.

    Most of the scratches are along the top of the unit. They aren't visible when the unit is sitting in a component rack, but they're there.

    Small scratch on the face of the unit
