H&K and Bose are mostly over priced because of their name.... that's about it.

Can't deny though that HK makes some of the best audio equipment around.

H/K makes good home theatre receivers, other then that I wouldn't buy anything else from either companies. For anything else don't buy from these two. People say infinity is good for speakers, but they are not!!! They are just expensive, and for the same price you can get a much better product.

Bose, for car is crap, Infinity is made by H&K. You pay for quality, I'm not saying it's the best but it is a quality product. H&K engineer their speakers and develop new things so you pay for that stuff.

i have harmon kardon speakers on my laptop...
the quality is okay for songs, no real bass effect, but during gaming its pretty good. better than other laptop speakers, don't know if the car version is a powerful version of these... if so, not okay, but not worth it for the price

I think alot of people would tend to disagree with that statement.
For Home Check out B&W or Cambridge Audio, Your jaw will drop if you think that Bose are the best of the Best.

HK & Infinity are decent speakers, but it all depends on what kind of speakers. HK & Infinity are Decent 6X9 and 4X5 Speakers, but not woofers. JBL Gold and Pyramid made Decent Subs, but their Tweeters Blow.

it is all a personal preference and a Spending limit.

ya I agree H&K are nice amps for home
Infinity is good for component speakers for car
bose is nice, but a little over priced, unless you can pick up some 301's or 701's then they will blow your mind.
I think Yamaha is probably the best bang for the buck when it comes to speakers.
I have Onkyo suround speakers and I love them.

for car I would stick to JL subs, or Pionner subs.

For home Yamaha all the way for souroundsound

Or old NAD for stereo
