Now that I can count myself among the group of happy sound stick-owners for almost a week, I would now like my two cents about this product: First of all, these speakers are pretty much the best thing I have so far heard in the multimedia sector, in particular, when you consider how little space they take up on the write table. As already discussed in detail most of my Vorrezensenten things like design, lack of on-off switch and the volume control a bit confusing, I'll be the essence: the sound. To this end, one can only say that Harman / Kardon has managed to build a system that covers almost all areas of application to the complete satisfaction of its users. This would be particularly the rich but unobtrusive bass (thanks to the adjustable subwoofer), the crystal-clear highs, and the wide dynamic range, with the true one sound for no disco, but certainly can hide the nagging neighbor in the apartment side, hevorzuheben. Only a tiny hole dynamics between subwoofer and satellites falling to negative. This is negligible in almost all varieties of classical and pop music, except for a Genre: A cappella (choral) music, because here the deep mid (? High depths) - area around the Cc octave (at A = 110 Hz) gives the sound depth and warmth. This frequency range is probably solved due to design perfect for any subwoofer-satellite system, and is likely to remain for a long time the strength of the good old stereo speaker, with its great sound, but which will be out of the question for lack of space for most desks. Therefore, in conclusion remains only to remark that the Soundsticks probably offer currently the sonic optimum for the PC / multimedia area, and the comparison with good Middle class stereos do not have to be afraid. Only those who are a hi-fi system in the living room Precious, is probably still festellen a difference.
