The HKTS 2 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and power of the cinema experience in your own living room.

In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power and refinement the HKTS 2 is able to deliver. If you have any questions about this product, its installation or operation, please contact your dealer, the best local source of information. Description and Features The HKTS 2 is a six-piece home theater speaker system that includes a 10-inch, 100-watt bass-reflex powered subwoofer; four identical 2-way, sealed enclosure satellite speakers for use in the left and right front and rear speaker positions; a dedicated, tandem-midrange center speaker; wallmount brackets for the four satellites; and all of the speaker cables you need to connect your speakers to your receiver or preamp/processor and amplifier. The HKTS 2 subwoofer is equipped with speaker-level inputs and outputs, line-level inputs, a special subwoofer input for use with equipment that furnishes a pre-filtered subwoofer output, a level control, and an efficient switching system that senses the presence of an audio signal and automatically switches the unit from standby mode to play mode. Although wall-mount brackets are included for the satellite speakers, Harman Kardon also offers optional stands, model FSTS 1, which can be ordered through your dealer. Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than forty-seven years ago.
