Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The HKTS 2 loudspeaker system includes four two-way satellite speakers, magnetically shielded for flexible placement near video monitors. The tandem-midrange center speaker, which is voice matched to the satellites, provides crisp, clean reproduction of dialogue. A 10-inch, 100-watt, powered subwoofer, with an LFE (low-frequency effects) input for compatibility with digital receivers, delivers thunderous bass and special effects to re-create the cinema experience. This complete package includes all required cables and wall-mount brackets for the satellites.

The Harman Kardon home cinema speaker system comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmon Kardon 6 Piece Speaker System Review, April 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Harman Kardon KTS2 6-Piece Home Cinema Speaker System (Electronics)

This is a very nice home theatre speaker with outstanding bass response. The main reason I chose this speaker was because of the excellent home theatre sound quality for it's size and price. I don't have any regrets. It has excellent, deep bass which can go very low. You cannot find a subwoofer that can go this low for this price. Hearing a loud explosion let's say in a James Bond film is an unbelievable experience. You could feel the walls shake. It's not a bad audio speaker either. Usually, I put it in 6 speaker mode when I listen to music. It is pretty good in the 2 way mode where only the subwoofer and the 2 main speakers are active, however, the crossover transition from the low to highs are not that great typical of most lower priced home theatre speakers. When you put it in 6 way, the frequency is separated out much better and the sound quality is really nice. I am actually use to hearing music this way and the sound is very delightful. I am not an audiophile and cannot imagine spending more than $1,500 on a speaker system. I use to switch to floor standing speakers that cost more than the HK system for music (B speakers) and to the HK for Dolby Digital, DTS or Prologic, but I got rid of the bulky floor standing speakers and use the HK for both music and video now. I actually think the sound of this HK in the 6 way mode is better than my old JBL speakers which I put away in the attic until I find a house with more room. I don't think you could get this quality speaker at this price. It is a great home theatre speaker and a decent speaker for music as well. I also like the fact that the speakers are very small since my family room is not that large.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising sound, July 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Harman Kardon KTS2 6-Piece Home Cinema Speaker System (Electronics)

My Dad asked me to help him shop for a home-theatre system.

We found these HKs for a very reasonable price. After installing the new system, we put in the DVD, Gladiator. I can't even begin to tell you how incredible these speakers sound. I would compare the sound quality to the demo rooms at most home audio/video stores where you have to spend a couple to a few thousand dollars to replicate their sound quality.

The satellite speakers are bright, crisp and clear. The sub is tight as well as being able to give the wall-shaking, guttural rumble you're craving when watching Apollo 13 take off from the launching pad.

I don't want to sound like a spokesperson for Harmon Kardon, but trust me. Go and buy this system (along with a nice receiver w/ DTS) and you'll understand what I'm talking about!

By A Customer

This review is from: Harman Kardon KTS2 6-Piece Home Cinema Speaker System (Electronics)

I connected the Harmon Kardon 6 piece Home Cinema Speaker System to my Sony 53" TV the whole place was change to a movie theatre effect. The Sub Woofer is great and makes special sound effect come to life. I recommend it to anyone. The speakers are all compact size and I had to by 2 stands for the front right and left speakers for $... from HK store via the internet. Great product........I love it.....
