A recording of "Exile" by Enya [all rights to the respective owners,] recorded by a Tascam DR07 MkII in with an A/B mic arrangement. This gives an accurate representation of the sound output of the Harman Kardon Soundsticks 3 at moderate volume with the woofer volume on the highest setting.
The satellite speaker arrays are highly directional, and care was taken to properly align the microphone. After listening to the recording over the same set of speakers, it sounded quite close; enough to give anyone with a decent sound setup a good idea of what the Soundsticks III sound like.
The woofer was placed on the floor, and is only a few feet from the corner of the room, possibly contributing to some bass loading. The adjustable bass know was turned completely up. (Thus the somewhat chesty vocals and muddy reverberation.)
