Cool Stuff You Can't Have: Harman Kardon Amplifiers

Harman Kardon is a name well known among home audio fanatics. Their home theater amps are very sleek and have a refined and elegant style. So when I stumbled on this post over at South African car audio blog Resonance Factor, my jaw just about dropped onto my desk! Harman is offering a full line of car audio amplifiers for European and other non-US countries, and Razeen snapped some pretty good shots of the amps and has full details over at the Factor. The initial launch will include one 2-channel and two 4-channel Class A/B amps, and one Class-D sub amp. The inclusion of a Class-D amp is pretty common for car audio, but a different approach for Harman as their home audio line is all Class A/B. Regardless, these amps are hot and I wish there was some way to convince Harman to bring them stateside. However, SoundDomain did get the scoop that there are some good things on the way from one of Harman's other companies, but we aren't allowed to disclose details just yet. You'll just have to stay tuned; we'll have an announcement in the next few months!

Massive Audio Gaining Ground Globally

While doing a bit of Googling the other day, I stumbled on Resonance Factor, a car audio blog from across the globe in South Africa. Razeem had the opportunity to sit in one of Massive Audio's demo car for a listening session and got a brief hands-on with a set of the Ck6 separates. Massive is relatively new to S.A., but the brand is taking off pretty quickly. Click the pic above to read Razeem's comments on the build and sound quality, as well as pics of the Massive install and some close-ups of the CK6 components.
