Harman Kardon HKTS-15 5.1 High-Performance, 6-Piece Home Theater Speaker System (Black Gloss) Review
I just finished my second surround sound system in my house. Previously I had put 05.01 in my bedroom this weekend and only 7.1 resulted in the family room. Both are fed by the Harman Kardon AVR-254 (which is awesome) Harman Kardon AVR-254 7×50W 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 1.3a repeater. I bought this package HKTS-15 speakers, because I wanted to have a coordinated system and thought that Harman AVR-should work fine with Harman. Boy is forever.
First of all, Iwas skeptical that the small center channel speaker (dual 3.5-inch drivers) would be appropriate. My other system uses the great Sony SS-CN5000 Dual 5.25 "Center Channel Speaker Sony SS-CN5000 Dual 5.25" center channel speaker, and sound really great. But I must say, the center channel dialog with the HKTS 15 system sounds even better. We only use the TV speakers in front, where the dialogue was often so muddy that we have the volume way, only to find out what waspeople said. seems now the dialogue is crystal clear and should not be so strong. Our AVR (and I'm sure they all do) allows us to adjust the volume of each speaker, so that we are the center channel, exactly where we wanted to set for a better dialogue reproduction. Do not think this speaker is too small to give the sound you're looking for.
Secondly, the subwoofer is powerful enough to shake things up. I watched the scene from The Lord of the Rings Balrog down and I was wild.This is a Fire Down subwoofer, the three sides are smooth (the back is full of connections, power cord, switch, etc.), so that kind of looks like a small table means. It has a cool white light point "on the top, so you know it's about. It can be set only when a signal came, the light lets you know that works (I leave all the time, is not really spend a lot of strength).
Thirdly, the installation was fairly simple. People here have complainedbrackets, but I found that works really well. One thing is designed to work where the wires come directly from the wall behind the wall. It was not the situation, I came down from the ceiling molding. So I carefully drilled two holes at the top of each plastic bracket so I could not get the wires at home and in the instructions (shown in open versus return). I then threaded them by the neck and the whole mountain was used asemployees and connections through the mounting system is hidden. That sounds great.
Fourth, the power cables supplied are not exactly flush with the wall-and I would not use if you are going speaker wires in walls or under carpeting. But the thread is fine and subwoofer included a color (purple) for the test connection error. Subwoofer cable cost $ 20 +, so that one of them is fantastic. In wall speaker cable you can buy at Home Depot or Fry. Do not buy from BB or otherelectronics stores, as they cut the ear.
Fifth, as others have said here are wonderful speakers. Even my wife likes the look of them (and is happy that I hid the wires behind the casting). I could not be happier and I'm really happy that I chose these speakers.

Customer Reviews
Impressive design and sound – Shekhar – Philadelphia, PA
I bought this speaker set from eBay. Wow! They are so beautiful. I am impressed with its stylish design and sound quality. You are very beautiful with its bright colors and black metal frame with stylish Harman Kardon printed name. The quality of workmanship is solid. It also comes with a bunch of accessories. The reason I did it four stars because of the smaller points below:
– Dimensions of the subwoofer … It's great for my room
– Included mounting brackets are difficult totogether (including the brackets was one reason I bought this set put)
– The spring connector on the bottom of the speaker are cumbersome to use
Overall, I liked a lot.
Good Speaker System, Excellent Shipping & Service – R. Channamraju –
First – the delivery was excellent. Customer Service – E 'was excellent (called in the U.S., working hours). Sub is huge, but bright and beautiful, so no need to hide. Speakers were smaller than I expected. I did much research before buying and was not disappointed. Home, I have not used EZSetup through my HK receiver, but after the installation of proper and regular speakers, etc. down, they sound great. The lines are long enough. It was just to get to Lowes and Abou spend $ 3 for boltsmust not come with wall brackets. Overall very satisfied with purchase.
Good speakers but wall brackets are not included. – –
The review of the product says:
"All the hardware for bracketing the loudspeaker is on the wall in the price."
This is not the case, except for the center channel. I had to buy the brackets separately for $ 50 or more so.
The speakers sound very good and I'm happy with them, but if the extra cost wall mounting brackets as in memory, and you have them directly from Harman Kardon.
