1M Harmon Kardon is trash

Shadow125 · 02-28-2021, 09:37 AM

Hi forum friends

In my 1M I have the full Harmon Kardon system.

I find it to be sub par for my expectations

(I know it’s a massive improvement over base, I had a 125 with base and fml)

Are there any worthwhile upgrades that don’t require extreme electrical work etc.

Have heard the bavsound e82 kit isn’t much of an improvement if any over the Harmon Kardon.

Struggling to find any other threads with hk upgrade options

Any input appreciated

Musicarnw has a good reputation for plug & play packages. I've been really happy with my dealings with them.

Have you messed around with the EQ settings?

100Hz........ -3
200Hz........ -6
500Hz........ -8
1kHz.......... -7
2kHz.......... -3
5kHz.......... +3
10kHz........ -5

Treble....... neutral
Bass......... +1
Surround......... On

Give this a try and see if your music sounds better.
