But this receiver is poor in terms of lacking some necessary inputs.

The total output of the receiver must be much greater than the total output of all the sound boxes, otherwise the receiver may be burnt out when you give high volume, as did my reciever.

Even though it is time consuming and may require several unpleasant journey to the electronic stores, it is still fun/interesting.

I finally set up the system With hdmi connections and speaker positioning. The speakers aren't bad but again the receiver is poor in my opinion. I think these speakers can sound better with a better receiver. The sound totally depends on the quality of the source. This is not a bad set given it is not that expensive and not so bulky. I wouldn't say it is better than Bose speakers ( if we are take price out), I think bose sounds better (it's been a while I havent heard them) but given this 1/3rd the price - not bad.

I still didn't play full sound yet because I feel like my neighbors are gonna complain even on the weekend. I mean I can hear them having sex at night. I am sure they will be slightly bothered by my sound coming from a room separated by only a thin wall.

Room started shaking with volume half way through with a Hindi remix song.

Maybe you should record the sound of them having sex and play it back on your speaker system... really loud.

That should creep the **** out of them and they'll probably leave you alone.

Didnt buy extended warranty? If you have a good receiver then this bunch is a steal. 5.1 though....

was $279.99 a few weeks ago, now its up to $329.95

I went to a chain retail store's warehouse outlet last month and was amazed at the quantity of 2nds and refurbished AV receivers and speaker systems. Reading up online I also have the feeling that most of the hi fidelity brands and systems are generally unreliable for longevity. Its quite disconcerting.

I will still go with Nasif Bhai's suggestion and recommend Harman/Kardon again, orphy. But then again working for Harman (parent company of Harman/Kardon), how could I recommend something else?

I just bought a system with AVR1700 amp and HKTS 20BQ speaker systems. It has enough firepower to shake the floors of my house.

It's all because of your kajer bua!

My harman kardon has been running without any issue for last 5 years! It's stil sounds as good as new. On average it gets 2 to 4 hours of runtime everyday. And at least 2-3 hours of high volume floor shaking sound every week (movie nights).

My guess is you have been running mismatched level between your speakers and receiver. Then again, how do you know it's not the receiver? It's very unlikely that all speakers will die at the same time. If its the receiver then most common form of problem busted power supply.

Send some $$$ to Rubu he will fix you up

Receiver looks like it works.... Thesubwoofer fdoesn't power on and the cube speakers only emits a hissing sound

I can sell the system for 750 if anyone wants and try to fix it. I paid double the cost. Anyone?

I am sure its a minor prob..I am too lazy or inpatient to try to figure it out
