Features
The HKS 3 is a pair of 2-way satellite
speakers for use in a home theater system.
The HKS 3 speakers are identical to the
satellites in the Harman Kardon HKTS 7
system, and are designed to be used with
the HKTS 7 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 50 years ago. The HKS 3 is a
perfect complement to a Harman Kardon
receiver or any home theater system.
