Featuring an eye-catching high-gloss-black finish and a sleek design, the Harman Kardon HKTS15 5.1 Speaker System makes a stunning centerpiece for your home theater system based on looks alone. But the HKTS15 sounds even better than it looks. Using advanced speaker technology and featuring a powered 10" subwoofer that will rattle your walls, the HKTS 15 will deliver an exciting and realistic theater experience in most moderate-sized rooms.

It's the perfect system for stepping up your home theater experience from your television's speakers or a typical home theater in a box. All the hardware for bracketing the speakers on the wall is included. Whether you're doing it yourself or a professional is doing it for you, the HKTS15 is easy to wire. High-quality speaker connections on the back of each speaker allow for the use of "better" speaker wire. The powered subwoofer includes both a line-level (LFE) connection and speaker-level connections for use with older receivers or stereo receivers.

All 5 speakers use the same driver material to provide a smooth, consistent sound field that sounds incredibly realistic and natural. Each satellite is a 2-way design, featuring a 3/4" metal-dome tweeter. The metal-dome tweeter is strong but lightweight, allowing it to reproduce high frequencies with detail, accuracy, and clarity. Joining the tweeter is a 3-1/2" midrange driver, which delivers increased mid-bass response and smooth vocals. Dual mid-range drivers on the center speaker offer additional richness and clarity for movie dialog.

No high-performance home theater would be complete without a powered subwoofer. To deliver deep, substantial bass, the HKTS 15 uses a rigid 10" woofer powered by a powerful 100W amplifier. The woofer's rigid design allows it to move, while still hold its shape without bending or distorting. This results in high excursion with minimal distortion and a home theater experience that you just don't hear but feel.

Great Speakers!

"When building my new home theater system I originally purchased a Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system for about [$] but I was very quickly disappointed with how bad this system sounded, the bass was boomy and sloppy and most importantly, there were no mid-range frequencies anywhere to be found! I returned it after a couple of weeks of trying to make it sound right.Then I purchased the Harman/Kardon HKTS18 and I m..." Read Full Review »
