Updating the unique, 2000-issue Apple-only SoundSticks, Harman Kardon has given the $ 250 2.1-channel SoundSticks III an equally aesthetically pleasing design. But in a diplomatic move, Harman Kardon bridges the platform gap, allowing anyone with a 1/ 8-inch minijack input to take advantage of the SoundSticks II and their fantastic output. The transparent, 10-watt speakers, each equipped with four 1-inch drivers, rest on sturdy, adjustable bases. Accompanying the speakers, the 20-watt subwoofer features a blue internal power indicator and a bubblelike contour, creating an appearance that' s more like that of an exotic jellyfish than an audio component.
