Harman Kardon 7.1CH Network AV Receivers
Monday, March 4, 2013
Use this: to extract what little joy you can from this bleak hellscape we call “life.”
Don’t use this: without reading the instructions. It’s got its own operating system. Seriously.
This just posted on Facebook: “Just had a personal record – lifted 110 watts (x7 speakers). #beastmode.”
Archie Tinker, rodeo cowboy, describes how to best wrangle this product: “She’s a true firecracker, that’n. If’n ya jump on her back, she’ll ditch ya faster’n a THX cowboy at a Dolby bar. Best let ‘er tire ‘erself, then yank ‘er woofer cable like so, and wrap it quick-like over her hindquarters.”
At a karaoke bar, this product sings: like, every song on the catalog. It thinks just because it has direct network access, it can sing every Spotify song in its catalog.”
