HARMAN KARDON HKTS 60 HOME THEATER SPEAKER SYSTEM Some beverages are rowdy, in a Bud Light sort of way. Other drinks are understated, like a 12-year-old blend. It’s the same thing with A/V gear. You’ve got your multicolor flashing-light specials that seem really cool, and then you’ve got your basic black cabinets that actually get the job done. Case in point is the HKTS 60, Harman Kardon’s premium 5.1 speaker package.
The satellite and center-channel speakers feature 1-inch dome tweeters constructed from a sandwich of aluminum and ceramic and set in a waveguide to improve dispersion. Dual 3-inch flatpanel midrange drivers use honeycomb construction and diaphragms with a carbon-fiber skin on either side. A 200-watt amplifier powers the high-excursion sealed 8-inch subwoofer, which also employs a DSP bass-boost circuit. Removable bases and wall-mount brackets are included; optional floor stands are also available. Stay thirsty, my friends. $1,199 | Harmankardon.com
