Features
The HKS 6 is a pair of 2-way satellite
speakers for use in a home theater system.
The HKS 6 speakers are identical to the
satellites in the Harman Kardon HKTS 15
system, and are designed to be used with
the HKTS 15 in a complete 7.1-channel
home theater. Color-coded speaker cables
are included to facilitate installing the
speakers in the surround back left and
right positions.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity
receiver more than 50 years ago. The
HKS 6 is a perfect complement to a
Harman Kardon receiver or any home
theater system.
