Incredible value for money

When researching different surround sound options at this price point, I found the HK set to be the most promising. I use a Sony 7.1 receiver to power my speakers. After a simple setup and a little calibration on the receiver, the speakers sound amazing. My dogs have also knocked one of the speakers off the stand a few times and it still sounds fantastic. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for amazing sound, great bass and a reasonable price.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Secret

I mainly use it for watching movies in my living room. I have a Yamaha receiver that offers a digital setup that puts all the speakers next to the TV instead of running cables everywhere. I'm very happy with the sound considering how much it costs. Quite comparable to much more expensive systems. I was looking for a smaller but full-fledged satellite speaker. They have both a tweeter and 2 midrange drivers. The receiver includes a microphone to balance the speakers. Very important

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Modern

Fantastic system, HORRIBLE speaker brackets

Works great, sounds great and is great value. I eat 4 stars because as many other reviews have warned; Worst speaker mount ever. Better to have bolts to pierce to cover the holes for the anchors and have fun threading the wires through; very frustrating. Other reviews called it that, and I underestimated how true the complaints about the speaker mounts were; kind of mad that someone actually designed and made these mounts; especially an established company. Please fire the person who designedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

NO CONNECTORS OR RECEIVERS INCLUDED! NO REMOTE CONTROL!

IMPORTANT! This system does NOT come with extra long cables or connectors! We had everything ready to go, we packed up our old system only to find out we couldn't install it with what we got! There is also no receiver! We need to use our dish receiver which only has 4 plugs instead of the 5 required for these speakers. At the moment we can't plug it in unless we find plugs in the basement! PS There is no remote control! Assuming our Dish remote controls the speakers, you'll know this. For $350,

Pros
  • 1 year trial version
Cons
  • Available in white only

Mounting brackets are problematic, but the sound is excellent

Most importantly, the sound is deep and rich. Very resonant. It comes with color-coded cables for easy installation. I set up a 14' x 12' room and the cables that came with it were long enough. Definitely fits in a large room. My disappointment was in the mounts. First, the wire comes out of the same hole as the mounting screw, and there is a gap inside for the wire, so the screw keeps slipping into the gap instead of going into the correct hole. A small unread travel guide would have helpedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice looks
Cons
  • Some flaws

Great speakers for the price

I was looking for a good sound system but was on a tight budget. I read reviews of several sound systems and first tried the Nakamichi soundbar with satellite speakers, but it turned out to be defective. I found this system on Revain and ordered it based on the reviews. The promised delivery was on January 23rd but got lost on the way from the seller. Revain was really good at getting my money back. I ordered and received the speakers 3 days ago. The system includes a center speaker, two frontโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Don't be into surround sound systems

Bought a system to install in the basement cinema. At the time of installation the warranty had expired. The subwoofer didn't work! After troubleshooting and technical support, Harmon Kardon (HK) decided the warranty was still valid. I was very pleased about that. Their tech support sent me a prepaid label and I sent the broken subwoofer back. The instructions said to wait a week for a review after returning, which I did. I had to speak to them several times, it was about two weeks. Turns outโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
