It is not that old, this one was made in 2012, but it is too heavy, too expensive to make, not too many people want to spent the money for a great amp anymore.
One of the transformers blew out during the last power outage. No parts, no support, ... discontinued, but we will remember - right here in this video!

A wonderful and powerful amplifier. In a class of its own. Even today it is impressive!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I had 2 of these, I sold one and still have one connected to pair of JBL ti10k. And I can say that this amp is a beast of an amplifier it has almost unlimited power/current with incredible clarity. it's really shame that harman has discontinued such amazing product . Very high quality DACs, balanced XLR, even ethernet cable input for direct streaming from either High end CD player or Lan. High quality phono inputs. I just love the hk990 and will never ever sell it. Very nice video

MICHEL KHACHADOURIAN that’s funny, i also had two. Sold one to a friend, what i regret now, because Harman will never make this again. Too many quality parts in that amp.

does it really have ethernet for streaming ? i thought its just for support port or networking to other HK products?? pls let me know if you connected to internet can you steam? have you tested this function?

@@akjannuHRS (High Resolution Synchronization ) was specifically designed to link to the CD player the HD990 which is HRS enabled device. But that would be very interesting to try it with a streamer or a PC. Unfortunately I couldn't find any streamer with audio Lan out, and also my laptop doesn't have Lan port, plus Roon doesn't support audio over ethernet . I tried to make a research for streaming audio over Lan but I couldn't find much honestly. Though I'm sure there should be a way to do so, it might require a special software to be downloaded and stream directly from a PC. That would be really interesting to try. I'm currently using HK adapt plus as a streamer (toslink optical) to the hk990. In the future I will consider buying a streamer / Dac with balanced xlr output.

These are the same binding posts that are used by premium brands like Esoteric. A discrete dual mono build with pricey components is an absolute steal! Enjoy!

Definitely more of a modern amp, but since HK was bought over by Samsung, all the replacent parts are already obsolete...

Any IC or logic board that will need replacing in the future, is no longer manufactured. Discrete components are still available . It is a great amplifier!

@@MicroAngelo1 Ok, thanks, now its clear. I am waiting for mine piece so I'll evaluate it. Anyway it is very strange Samsung destroy s6ch well brand the only comparable to McIntosh ev- why not HK)en and they move HK to brand simply Bluetooth speakers and poor soundbars ets. They restore JBL hifi devices (again - why not HK) so maybe good karma back t8 the HK also?

I have one of these, but haven't used it in about three years. I just bought a pair of Paradigm Persona loudspeakers. I think I'll hook my HK990 up to them and give it a spin.

Had this amplifier. Hands down the worst sounding amplifier i have ever tried. Sharp highs, no clear mids and all in all not good sounding. Also broke down on me plenty of times, and went into protect after an hour of playing. Would not reccomend purchasing this

Not available anymore anyway. As you can see in the comments, some people really liked it.
