I got mine in college, 1973, with a pair of Large Advents and a Thorens TD-160 with a Shure V-15 Type III. I think the receiver (metal cabinet) was $495, total system was just over $900.
I just bought one of these in October for $250 Canadian and its in t he shop getting a check up !!!! I also own a Harmon Kardon 670 which I just bought two weeks ago go it for $325 and I have a Marantz SR4000. I love them all. Getting excited to get the HK930 and give it a test drive.
These generally run around 2000 dollars on eBay. And then they are usually not restored. 😢

In 1973, my father paid $540 Canadian + tax, without the wooden cabinet. Bought at Layton Audio in Montréal. Paired it with a set of KEF Concerto speakers and a Thorens TD-160 turntable. Was very enjoyable!
Such a handsome piece. I have a hard time choosing my favorite between that distinctive "mid-century modern-looking" dial and the three-strip one on the 430 and 730. I have several of the "Twin-Powered" HK X30 models and the 930 is the most powerful (60 wpc -- actually packing much more punch that the same wattage in today's amps), but the 430 is still the sweetest sounding to me...
i have a sony 555 es av reciever 125 watts by 5 27 surround field plus reverberation settings,its a freaking nice solid av reciever..early 2000`s model
I had two rooms full of vintage gear including quite a few HK's mostly from deceased estate sales however all have been sold now. My forever system has arrived and 2022 technology certainly blows the doors off of any vintage gear. Cheers.
Completely wrong about the cabinet. The first iteration cabinet looks and is 100 times more beautiful than this "service friendly " veneer. The thickness of the solid wood and the attention to shadow lines and reveals put the first version so far ahead of the one in the video that I questioned myself " What is up with this wonky cabinet?". Not pretty or high -end looking. I kinda know about custom wood cabinetry and had my H-K 930 with the first wood surround from 1973 to 2004. The pitiful Florida power grid roasted my unprotected gem and I now rue the day it no longer could make glorious music!
Got my 930 in 1971. Still got it, still as good as when I bought it!

I just picked up a 730 twin. Man,it sounds great.
THE 930 IS A SMALL POWERHOUSE, SOUNDS FANTASTIC. 👍
Has roughly the same size power supply as the mighty Marantz 2325!! It’s really a monster receiver.

Think of it as one of the first “Monster Receivers.” But without the name. Closer to 100wpc. Hard to clip and overheat.
Absolutely Amazing 👌
Great video ❤
Thank you!!
I'm excited my hk 930 soon to come 😊
nice ! have you ever looked at the HK 505 ?
Not yet! Twin powered like the HK 665.
