Has anyone had the chance to hear one of these https://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-Studio-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B073FSM4QR/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=harman+kardon&qid=1569939885&sr=8-8 or even know it existed?

A friend of mine has one where he works and it is amazing!! This thing can fill up a small warehouse with ease.

I do believe my back patio is asking me for one.

    LOL, that's the same thing I thought when I first saw it....but man, the sound that comes from it, it's not right. I mean you're like, is that all there is? Making that kind of sound???

    It's really incredible.

    That one is new to me but I have the HK Onyx Studio 4 and absolutely love it. It is the best wireless Bluetooth speaker I have heard (beats my Polk Camden Square by a lot): great detailed sound and dynamic enough to fill up a pretty large space.

    Harman Kardon must be the most misspelled brand name in audio history... It’s MAN & DON, not MON & DAN! It would be hard to get Palk Oudio wrong though, or Facol instead of Focal, and what about Baston Oucoustics?! :D

    The product is reminiscent of the older Harman Kardon SoundSticks that used to be sold eons ago in Apple stores.

    Lol, at least I got the DON correct.....it's funny, I realized I had misspelled Harman and wondered if anyone would call me out it....

    Sir, you are awarded the * Gold * Star * :)

    Yeah... I believe that they are part of Samsung now? Seems highly unlikely that they’ll release anything using tubes... whether they insist on using lower case or not...
