Following in the strong tradition of Harman Kardon, this integrated system will boast of advanced loudspeakers which are capable of delivering a clean, powerful, room-filling sound experience even if you place it in a discrete position – say, a bookshelf or tabletop. The speaker cabinets are more than pleasant to look at, regardless of whether you choose to have the speaker grille on or not, while metal matrix waveguide-mounted tweeters are capable of delivering big hi-fi sound from any location in the room.
Similar to its predecessors, the MAS 102 will be able to handle CD playback, FM radio, and a bunch of other analog and digital inputs with aplomb, where additional features include digital audio connectivity, iPod/iPhone compatibility via a Bridge III dock (available separately for purchase) and a phono input which will hook up directly to a turntable.
The asking price for the Harman Kardon MAS 102? A buck shy of $1,000.
