Decision support .... why you can buy this set .....

Hello, I hereby would like to try, "surround system something weiterzuhelfen interested when choosing your.
I previously had a system of floor-standing speakers (front) shelf speakers (rear) and was a full-fledged center - the regular factory price of the system was at times 3700 euros.
For space and style reasons (and the fact that I have used in the past to hear the set also for music, which is no longer the case since about 2 years - look only films so) I have separated myself from the set.
Of course it was a funny idea to move from such a system on a compact system - whether it will be so sound technically satisfied ?????
By chance I sometimes reaches a Harman Prospect and the set HKTS 11 liked with the feet right away.
Until it was with the Order so far as there was now the HKTS 16 - in forums, it was reported that the new subwoofers of the 16ers was no longer as potent - so first read further ....
Devil .... aha !!! not bad - but there was at the forum that forgets its settings after switching off the subwoofer, "so every time again leveling (nothing for me, so on).
KEF KHT 2005.3 .... chic .... but stand ??? For my taste, nothing to it.
? Canton Movie ..... Had a Friend - Sound moderate not my style - thin and lifeless (Sorry !!!!!) ... he hears now on Nubert set ... great - but also costs round 1500 Euros ,
In mind, always visually appealing HKTS 16 ....... matter now ... ordered with the feet and you're done!
Dispatched within 2 days later - Super - unpacked and very pleasantly surprised, which build quality Harman has realized this favorable "price!
The speaker cables included I would describe as a first makeshift "that she had replaced by an equal 2.5mm² Oehlbachkabel which fit perfectly into the clamp holder of the boxes.
The boxes on the racks mounted - pulled cable in the stand .... Super how hard enough all of a piece and for stability.
For the Center an angle bracket is going well around him to attach to the wall.
I have found me an aluminum sheet at the hardware store, the upper 8cm tailored to the width of the holder, the holder screwed to the plate and screwed the whole thing from behind the TV (at the VESA breakpoints) - looks really good J
The subwoofer has built rubber studs in the feet to decouple it from the floor - works very well - then first a skeptical view of the sub-frame and ..... surprise .... no paper cone with foam surround !!!!
The Sub I connected using a mono RCA cable with Y-adapter (is said again about 3 dB bring ?!) and the power cable to the receiver connected - so it always turns on together with the amplifier.
So .... boxes to align the listening position (Sub between the main speakers), microphone to the old Denon AVR plugged in 3805 and started the program ...... now it gets exciting ......
DVD Star Trek "into the drive and pre-listening.
I say it this way: Just amazing what comes out there! Powerful sound - effects on all sides and clearly understandable dialogues.
Next DVD pure - Avatar - Hammer !!!! Next DVD - Black Hawk Down .... as you pull the ears when the helicopters flying through the living room and one the spheres to the ears!
No sound holes or sound coloration when wandering noises.
But what about music? .... Amanda Marshall inserted CD and listen ....... clear to the old boxes they can not get up, but they are a very good compromise, I can live well.
A small weakness I discovered the Center, he fits perfectly to the other boxes, but sounds especially the singing of the DVD Walk The Line "somehow something disembodied.
Maybe I exchange therefore the Center sometime again a trial against the devil Center Concept S FCR "from - to visit for 75,00 Euro .... but first see.
To get to the power of the subwoofer again - my living room 32 square meters and has brought the part has to vibrate the closet .... got it then first runtergeregelt.
The Punch "of Subs is sufficiently crisp and not as spongy as with my old Yamaha-Sub with 30cm chassis.

Conclusion: I have not regretted the change to a compact system and specifically the purchase of the HKTS 16!
For this price it is in my view quite difficult to find something better sounding and my wife has found pleasure in this small design pieces J.
