$245.00
Twenty watts a channel at 0.09% distortion, with a 40-watt dynamic peak and a damping factor of 60 — Harman Kardon’s high-current approach rather than a large power figure. Bandwidth is quoted at 0.5 Hz to 120 kHz, there is an MM phono input at 1.8 mV and dual subwoofer outputs, and impedance is switchable between 8 and 4 ohms. Built 1991–94. Tested and working well.

Harman Kardon HK3300 AM/FM Stereo Receiver – 20 Watts Per Channel with w/ Phono & Dual Sub outputs; Tested, Working Well
Discover the elegant simplicity and refined sound of the Harman Kardon HK3300—a beautifully designed 1991-1994 stereo receiver that delivers sophisticated musicality and impressive current capacity. Fully tested and working well, this compact yet capable receiver is the perfect foundation for vinyl playback, digital audio, or classic music systems.
The HK3300 exemplifies Harman Kardon’s design philosophy: straightforward elegance combined with genuine sonic performance. With 20 watts per channel (8Ω), the HK3300 may appear modestly powered, but its high instantaneous current capability and 40-watt dynamic peak power deliver surprising impact with any reasonable loudspeaker, excelling with efficient speakers (89dB+) or quality bookshelf designs. The result is precise, dynamic sound with excellent control—proof that refined engineering trumps raw wattage.
The ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier design (0.5Hz–120kHz) ensures exceptional transient accuracy and phase linearity, allowing every musical detail to shine through with clarity and naturalism. The signature Harman Kardon high-current output stage maintains tight control over speaker drivers, producing crisp dynamics, accurate bass, and smooth, grain-free highs that music lovers appreciate.

Pioneer SX-50 Silver Face Receiver – 50 WPC, Pre-Outs, 1983
Fifty watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.007% distortion, and — unusually for a receiver this size — pre-out and main-in jacks on the back, so it can feed a subwoofer, take an equalizer in the loop, or hand off to a larger power amp. Introduced in 1983 with switchable CD and TV audio inputs, presets held by three AA cells, and the silver face of the decade that was ending. Graded Very Good.
Kenwood KR-A4070 Stereo Receiver – 60WPC, Phono, Original Remote
Sixty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full band at 0.01% distortion, with an MM phono input at 2.5mV, a tape monitor loop, and separate bass, treble and balance. The original Kenwood remote is here, which is uncommon on a receiver of this age. Level 1 serviced; cosmetically graded Good, with honest wear for its years.

Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.
