Harman Kardon Soundsticks III 2.1-Channel Multimedia Speaker System with Subwoofer (Refurbished) $100 + Free Shipping

2.1 is fine for music. If you play games or watch movies, they will sound good -- but they will not do surround sound...

My office has carpet throughout. Will the sub sound any good on carpet?

Sound quality from these is really phenomenal. Anyone in need of a 2.1 system shouldn't hesitate.

I've had these for years and love them. Great price.

@TheEdge: I have the sub on carpet and I think it sounds very good.

Thanks. Was on the fence. Just put in an order despite having to pay GA sales tax. Not sure if others had to pay it in other states or not, but...

I decided to place MY subwoofer on a vinyl tile that I place on the carpet.

I love these. I have them and I personally would recommend anyone in the market for speakers to buy them. Will last you for years and they sound amazing.

How do these compare to Klipsch Promedia 2.1 which went for 100 during last BF. I regret skipping that deal .

Quote from stealth : I've had a friend who had these and he loved them! I've wanted this for awhile, but now I'm wondering... why spend so much on a 2.1 system? I know it's apples to oranges, but we see deals on 5.1, 5.2, etc systems all the time. Are audiophiles really happy with 2.1, even if it's the best 2.1 available? Just wondering what others think about this, as I'm on the fence about buying.

These speakers are designed for use with your PC, or could be used as a alternative to a bookshelf, boombox type setup. I wouldn't consider using these as a replacement for a home audio system. The majority of audiophiles prefer using a 2 speaker system when listening to music. Arguably the best best speakers made are sold in pairs.

Modern design? The only words that come to mind when I see these speakers is "vacuum tubes".

Yah, they look super 2000s to me.

How come the watts on these are so low. For example Logitech Speaker System Z623 are like 150 have 200 watts compared to 40 on these. How do these compare to those?

I still have a set of the original soundsticks I got jeez nearly 13 years ago up in my closet somewhere! These look virtually the same but with updated imputs! I don't think the old ones are compatible anymore so these would be great to have! I used to have mine hooked up to an iMac in my college apt & these would bump with music from iTunes's when it first came out! LOL Wow looking at these makes me feel old!

Totally different class. Just look at the RMS power output (ie. i4 engine vs. v6). Which brings me to question why anyone would buy these if not for their aesthetics. For a similar price as this sale price (cheaper if comparing MSRP), one can pick up a substantially better performing 2.1 system in both power and audio quality: Klisch Promedia 2.1, Logitech z623 (z2300), Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra. IMHO, these Harman Kardon's are not worth the price....but that's coming from a guy who picked up a brand new z2300 for $50 from an Amazon sale years ago The shear power and audio quality literally blows you away (be careful of nearby windows). No need for a surround sound speaker system for my home theater with these monsters. But that's just my 2 cents.
