Harmon Kardon CA260

Anyone heard of this amp before?
Is it any good?

I know its quite an old amp model, but getting it at quite a reasonable price.
So thinking of getting this for my car so hoping to get some feedback before making a decision.

Thanks guys.

make sure its working first, old amps will have its electrical components deteriorate over time. best to audition the sound side to side with a familiar amp to compare.

Yar... am definitely doing that and the shop is giving me a warranty on the item.
Personal warranty.... if faulty either they repair or replace for me.

Been going to them for my audio stuff for quite a few years and so far no complaints.

quite a powerfull amp there...

For an old amp, please check the sound quality.... there may have distortion sounds/hisses/(aeroplane) sounds may come out from spks.
