Reviews of the Harman/Kardon HS 100
-
CNET Review
The Good: Sleek, jet-black A/V receiver and DVD-Audio/video player; wraparound metal-mesh grilles add pizzazz to the five two-way satellites' look; matching 10-inch, 100-watt, powered subwoofer.
The Bad: Middling home-theater performance; less than intuitive onscreen menu navigation; crowded DVD controls on remote control; slow switching between A/V sources; no HDMI output.
The Bottom Line: The Harman Kardon HS 100's elegant good looks and sweet musicality may be enough for some buyers, but the pricey system lacks the oomph for convincing home-theater duty.
