Harman Kardon, JBL spring forward with refreshed audio lineups for 2010

Say hello to Harman International's home, media and mobile updates for the spring, bringing its audio expertise to those who aren't quite ready to step up to its higher end line of standalone receivers and the like. Promising to perfect the audio performance of any car audio setup in just 10 minutes, the $799 JBL MS-8 is as interesting as it is specialized. The HKTS 20 and HKTS 30 ($799 / $999, March) are standard 200w 5.1 surround sound setups, and while they promise improvements over their predecessors the Go + Play Micro boombox ($399, March), On Time Micro & 200P clock devices (both $249, April) and On Stage Micro II ($129, April) probably aren't hiding anything too surprising underneath those iPod docks, but we'd suggest perusing the gallery just to be sure.

Anyone remember the late 80s, early 90s, when Harman/Kardon was known for their high end stereo receivers and not throw away iPod docks...

An alarm clock stand for my iPhone? There IS an app for that already...

Finally the MS-8 is ready for prodution. Right in time for my WRX build.

Do they make a Zune HD version to any of these? Because if they did I'd be interested.

[aschettler Posted Mar 18th 2010 4:43PM]

@feelings I know! I want a ZuneHD dock too! (One that actually charges and controls it, not one that plugs into the headphone jack.) I know they exist, but most of the companies that sell them on the Zune website are ones I've never heard of.
