It will be the best 25.00 you can spend.Overall I enjoy these speakers very much. Really a great sound for a good price The sub cable HK provides is trash. It went to the HK from a tSc ASW-10 and with out a doubt thetSc blows the doors off the HK in every way but looks. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the subwoofer and the cable provided for it. At first I wasn't that impressed but as the speakers got broke in and the more I listened to dfferent media's I have grown to like them very well. If the sb sounded as good as it looks it would be one of the best on the market but that is not the case. Do yourself and your system a big favor and get you a good cable.
It can do way more then I need, if I need to remove the pictures from my walls in the other room, I can turn it up some more. Something Harman Kardon does well. They hold them well and set them off the wall just enough to not cause any rattling. It is 18gauge, maybe 16, so not the best but it works great.
The high ends are good. I do not have the ability to describe speakers that are "crisp" or "warm". Music souns great. :) After adjusting the low end output from my receiver and the volume on the pack of the sub, it makes the experience very realistic. I am very pleased with it. The set also comes with wire to run, lots of wire to run. I got these on sale, and if I had the money, I can see spending more on them.
But they are good, still adjusting my receiver, so it may not be the speakers fault. I really like the design of the speakers too, with a wrap-around grill and glossy finish on the ends and on the sub. And these make a wonderful surround set. I don't even know what that means.
Not the best. The subwoofer has a great amount of kick. As for the accessories. I am proud to have them in my living room, not just for the beautiful noise they make, but also for how they look hanging so nicely on the walls.
I love these speakers. But vocals in movies sound clear and not garbled. The wall mounting brackets are better than I was imagining.
I can turn up the volume as far as I like and there is no distortion. I did a lot of researh (Infinity, Polk Audio etc and these were the best for the size). I am extrmly happy with the speakers and so are everyone else who has listened to them. Great price also.
The bass is very nice. In fact it seems too powerful for the satellite speakers. My second choice was the Bose 10 system. The satellite speakers sound good for the size, construction and cost. Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black) The bass can be turned down. In the old days a speaker that had good sound also had size and mass. I adapted the simple Atlantic stand with a small piece of wood.
You can read how by going to my review for the stand. The power saving feature works very well. Simply setting the speakers on furniture is an accident waiting to happen.Overall this system works very well in my house with the Sony receiver. I operate at about 1/4 setting for bass. The Sony manual instructs the user to turn off the power save feature on sub-woofers to avoid having missing bass at odd times. Sony STR-DN1000 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver (Black) Room is 13X22 feet. The case for the sub-woofer is very attractive in an understated way.
That has never happened, so you can save money without being concerned about problems. I could not get myself to pay double for it as both systems are made in china. Satellite speakers work well, but must be attached. Purchased to work with Sony STR DN1000. It does not cry for attention, or mess with room decor. The satellite speakers have an odd angled base that require the use of Harman-Kardon speaker stands, unless you are creative.
The sound you get through these speakers(I paired mine with the pioneer VSX-819H-K receiver, which is awesome too) is just GREAT. The sound stays true wether the volume is low or loud, never any static or anything.
Highly reccomend these guys. I gave the ease of use 4 stars only because the mounts were a little tricky (I bought the matching stands, didnt wall mount them).
I went from a 1 year old Samsung HTIB granted, but this system is darn near perfect for the price. All in all, this is a very solid speaker system.
I purchased these speakers a month ago,and I have to say I'm very, very impressed. Watching Transformers 2 on this in Blu-Ray sounded literally like you were right there.
But that still only took 30 minutes or so nothing too bad.
