The HKTS 18 home theater speaker system combines identically voiced, magnetically shielded two-way satellite and center channel speakers with a 10-inch, 200-watt subwoofer for high-performance sound that complements the design of Harman Kardon receivers and DVD players, as well as today's flat-panel video displays. Advanced features include a line-level Sub/LFE input, audio-sense or external-trigger on/off and a multicolor LED power indicator. Wall-mount brackets for the satellites are included.

Content: 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.
Summary: Great sound, speaker stands problematic

Content: 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.
Summary: Wonderful sound!

Content: 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.
Summary: Awesome
