    Reviews seem acceptable, but its getting a bit old now (reviews are circa 2010/2011).
    That's 4-5 years of tech advancement this system doesnt have.
    Still… pretty decent price! $400 doesnt buy you very much in surround sound gear. Ever. Harmon Kardon a crapload better than LG and like!!

      true.

          Yeah, I cant imagine many people picking Logitech over Harman Kardon for surround sound gear.

          Mind you, I've got a Logitech 5.1 setup on my PC that's been going great guns for about 10 years (Logitech Z-5500 - http://www.digitaltrends.com/pc-speaker-reviews/logitech-z-5…). Hasnt missed a beat, but would never think it would be capable of a proper lounge room setup.

          Different target markets.

        • Ads on 18/08/2015 - 17:03

          @UFO: lol, I still have this Logitech setup which I bought many years ago for my lounge room TV. Works great for the price. I haven't really seen the need to replace it with a proper system that could be 3 times the cost. But that doesn't mean these deals aren't tempting!

        • Sxio on 18/08/2015 - 19:08

          @UFO:

          Haha. That IS my lounge room setup. For what it is, it's great but I'd never rate it against… well anything else really.

          But it's got bass for days and cost me $150 at auction about 6 years ago so I love it.

    how does this compare with

    thanks

    • UFO on 18/08/2015 - 16:11

      Accu what now?

      Never heard of them, and never seen them in a well known HiFi retailer.
      Good that you want to support Aussie businesses though. Best thing would be to go listen to them.
      Different ears like different speaker setups.

      • Daabido on 18/08/2015 - 17:45

        Accusound has been around for ten years plus. I personally own a set which is almost that old and they suit me.

    • justtoreply on 18/08/2015 - 16:21

      I think jb hifi has/does stock them? Or am I way out of the loop?

    • Aids on 18/08/2015 - 22:11

      Accusound are decent, but nowhere sells them at that rrp. Bigger drivers means more sound but the HK set will be a lot clearer, which will provide for a better experience. I'd buy the Harmon set every time.

  • nepal on 18/08/2015 - 16:12

    Accusound are in HN but not the exact model they had the wireless one, sound was pretty good…

  • jammy2006 on 18/08/2015 - 16:48

    Fanastic thanks! Been looking at these for years now, not many places where you can just buy the speakers. Discounted price seals the deal.

    The Harman Kardon HKTS 20 is a film fan’s dream system.

    I wouldnt go that far, they are ok, but a far cry from a SVS/Paradgim/Martin Logic/Yamaha bookshelf or freestanding speakers.

    Not a bad price though.

        You can get the Yamaha P80's for 350 or so (RRP 449) so yeah.

        If you hunt area (Graysonline) you can pick up Paradgrims for a few hundred a set.

        Speakers are like furniture, you get what you pay for, and a good quality set of speakers will last into the decades if looked after, even if the reciever dies or is outdated, you just replace that portion.

        Anyone even remotely serious about their AV knows this.

        Besides, by the time you spend 400 on these speakers and another 2-300 on an AV reciever, your close enough in price to get a YSP-2500, which by the market being targeted on here would suit them more.

    • MATTDAMON on 18/08/2015 - 18:31

      They are speakers, to run them you will still need a AV receiver capable of driving minimum 5.1ch. They do not have an amp or anything like that (except for the sub)

    • jammy2006 on 18/08/2015 - 20:25

      You'll need an amplifier/AVR if you buy the harman kardon, you'll need to factor that in. The z906 has an amplifier built in.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/08/2015 - 20:43

        Yeah just realised after doing some more research, so that kind of almost doubles the cost. Say $700 with a decent amp, still worth it in your opinion?

        • jammy2006 on 18/08/2015 - 23:12

          What's your use case for these? For Home Theater with a TV, I would go for a proper AVR + speakers such as these any day.

          For a computer.. well it's a bit over kill, but would still sound better.

    Or does it require a receiver?

    • Targaryen on 18/08/2015 - 19:27

      You will require a receiver as this is just a speaker system. Good value speakers though.

  • auna on 18/08/2015 - 20:01

    Was looking into something like this before I decided I wanted to get something a bit more future proof. I bought a Sony soundbar that has 3 HDMI input including 1 that does HDCP 2.2. It also accepts up to 7.1 including DTS HD etc. It costed the equivelent of $550 only.

    The only alternative I found was buying an Onkyo reciever for $1000 or so and then other speakers.

    This is an interesting problem that I have asked audio stores about and they think I'm making this stuff up. All I know is the multitude of problems such as buzzing, fuzz etc are totally gone. I asked Bose and they said some of those features are possible with our $4299 surround system…

      You can also get the Yamaha YSP-2500, which is the Best BFYB bar under 1k (goes for around 800 bucks or so online) has all of the usual codec/processing so DTS/HD/HDMA etc, also has wireless so you can use the ios/andriod appp
