Birth of Harman Kardon Each man put up $5,000 and formed a new company, Harman Kardon, to manufacture high-fidelity machines for playing music at home. "At the time,” New York Times reporter William Holstein wrote fifty years later in an article about Harman, “the conventional wisdom was that to listen to music from the radio, you needed a tuner to capture radio signals, a preamplifier, a power amplifier and speakers.” Instead, Harman and Kardon combined multiple components into one easy-to-use unit that they called a receiver. Built into an attractive housing that looked more like stylish furniture than complex electronics, the receiver – model name Festival D1000 – was a huge success. It was especially popular with young listeners.  In 1956, Harman and Kardon’s initial $10,000 investment was worth $600,000, and Kardon wanted to retire. Harman bought out Kardon’s share of the company and kept on working. Two years later, Harman Kardon produced the Festival TA230, the world’s first stereo receiver. High-quality sound that seemed to come from around the listener, not just in front of him, was at last available to a wide audience. And the wide audience loved it.
