Harman Kardon HK1500

Little is documented about the Harman Kardon HK1500. What the record shows: it was a stereo receiver, listed in a vintage audio marketplace as producing 150 watts per channel. That single specification — and the model's existence — is essentially the entire surviving record.

No production years, original price, frequency response, THD, or design details have turned up in period sources. A contemporary review in HiFI-Stereo (July 1979, p.35) praised a different Harman Kardon model, the hk3500 Dolby Cassette Recorder, noting its value and musical accuracy, though no reviews of the HK1500 itself have been found. No product family relationships are documented. The HK1500 appears to have been a high-power receiver — 150 wpc is a substantial rating by any era's standards — but beyond that, the historical record is silent.

Known specs:

- Stereo receiver

- Power output: 150 watts per channel (single marketplace listing)

If you own an HK1500 or have period documentation, the Archive would welcome the details.
