The HKS 4 speakers are identical to the satellites in the Harman Kardon HKTS 11 system, and are designed to be used with the HKTS 11 in a com- plete 7.1-channel home theater. Color-coded speaker cables are included to facilitate installing the speakers in the surround back left and right positions.
