Harman Kardon's HKTS systems make it easy to choose the right speakers to use with your other home theater components. By providing a complete speaker system, they ensure that frequency response, dispersion and dynamic range are carefully matched so that all the speakers in a multichannel system blend, rather than compete with one another. HKTS systems complement any room décor, and perfectly match Harman Kardon’s components and today’s flat-screen video displays.

I do alot of searching for reviews before buying a product, and this product has alot of great reviews. So I purchased it, and I was not disapointed. Thundering BASS!, Crisp highs, You wont be sorry you bought this product. Brings movies and regular television to a new high.
Great job Harman/Kardon.

Great sound, speaker stands problematic3
The speakers have great sound. The instructions are clear and simple. Wall mounting the speakers may work but I did not want that. The speaker stand mounts are proprietary so if you're planning to go that way you'll probably have to buy the Harmon Kardon stands and pay the stiff price. I understood that going in, but the problem was dealing w Harmon Kardon. I could not find the black stands thru any one else. What showed up had obviously been around the block a few times. They shipped silver stands in a box marked black stands. There was not parts inventory included so I have no way of knowing if the parts were all there and they were all loose so who knows. The return process is problematic and has taken weeks. They are impossible to get thru to on the phone and I could not get their web return system to work for me. Eventually email worked but weeks later I'm still waiting for the right stands.

Wonderful sound!5
These speakers produce awesome sound. I was looking to setup my home theater system. Now I have these wonderful speakers with Onkyo SRS606 receiver and PS3. I was considering buying Bose speakers since my car has Bose audio system and I have always been a fan of the sound of Bose speakers. But the price of Bose speakers is extremely high. I actually decided to buy the HKTS-18 purely based on reviews here on Amazon. I was so happy after I heard these. In fact, the sound from these speakers is as or more crisp, clear and deep as compared to Bose. The subwoofer produces wonderfully deep bass. Good thing is that I can adjust the bass level on the subwoofer with an easy dial, however, I haven't found the need to change it once I have it at my comfort level. However, the subwoofer is huge. make sure you read the dimensions & plan where to keep it before purchasing. However, the subwoofer looks really good so even if it sits in view, it's not a problem.
Movies in 5.1 sound amazingly clear and lifelike. Music is wonderful as well. The speakers look great too. Thankfully I didn't go for Bose, as I've found great quality at a fraction of the cost.
