Harman Kardon HKTS-18 5.1 Channel Speaker System

i had the harmon kardon receiver, very suck interface, and confusing,

but the sound quality is so so great!!!! extreme good sound for a $180 audio quest optical cable out from my PC (playing CD quality music)

I love these speakers. They work well with my Denon AVR 1909 receiver. I will probably upgrade when I move into a bigger place because the receiver can handle more powerful speakers, but for a 16 X 16 room they are wonderful. I don't even have to crank them. about highest I've turned my receiver up has been -20dB, and I pissed off the people downstairs. Make sure you have a high-quality receiver with your speakers. Those who think they sound like they're in a tin box either got a bad speaker or a crappy receiver.

I almost gave it four stars because these are literally the worst mounts I've ever seen. However, people flip out whenever someone gives products less than five stars over trivial details, so I'll save you all from having an aneurysm. To me, five stars should be just about perfect, and the sound is just about perfect. I just wish the flimsy mounts were a little bit better.

First I just want to thank everyone who has submitted a review. I would never make this purchase without your comments. I owned these speakers for a month now and I could not have been happier with my purchase.[...]These HK speakers fill my 20X20 room with no problems. They look and sound great with my Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver. Transformers on Blu-Ray was incredible. For me to get better home theater sound I would have to spend a lot more money which means I'll be hanging on to these HK speakers for a very long time.

Purchased HKTS-18 system on July 30. One satellite speaker died on Sept 10. 10 day runaround from Harmon Kardon to get a replacement. Sent me to Amazon who sent me to Harmon Kardon who sent me to some out of state warranty service who sent me back to Harmon Kardon. This is insane.

These speakers are the greatest! They look absolutely fantastic! They come with all the hardware you will ever need: they include the mounts to screw onto walls, and can also sit on bookshelves/tables. The speaker wire included is very long - I'd estimate at about 100'. The rear speaker wires are 50' long and I think the front are all around 10-20'. The system is a standalone decoder - there are audio RCA jacks on the back of the subwoofer, as well as 5 speaker inputs - so you don't need a surround receiver. The sound is clean, the bass is powerful, and the range dynamic. I am using this set with a Yamaha RX-V663, and I couldn't ask for anything more in a home theater.
