Harman/Kardon Amp & Floor Speaker Questions....

[nmgsxr]

A couple weeks ago i was given a Harman/Kardon PA2100 signature series amplifier with 2 of Harman/Kardon Floor speakers...now, one of my questions is that i have no clue what model the floor speakers are, there is no name other than when you take the grill off it says "twenty"?? have no idea what the model is but they are about 20" tall, 8" deep and 8 or so inches wide... Can anyone tell what these might be. Also how much is the setup worth if i was to sell it...just curious! thanks in advance!

The Twenties

Those literally are the "Twenty". they were sold exclusively by Circuit City in the early 90s. the line was the "Ten", the "Twenty", the "Thirty" and "Fourty"
I still own a pair of the "Tens". Remarkable line of speakers. WAY overbuilt for what they cost. They were an attempt by the Harman folks to capitalize on the success CC was having with the newest JBL L series. Also very overbuilt for the price point and JBL ended up losing a ton of money on the deal with the L5s and L7s, as much as CC was selling them. The L5 is till one of the most accurate speakers JBL has ever produced especially for human vocals.
the Citation you have was also sold by CC at that time but was a mediocre attempt to revive the Citation name by H/K. I'd keep the twenties and ditch the amp.

very interesting. I did not know the CC connection for these products.
