Comments about HTD Midlevel Whole-house Audio System Package:

I bought a home that has many rooms prewired for audio. I looked into other systems (including Nuvo and Sonos). Sonos is good if you have only a couple of rooms that need audio. Nuvo has many features, but I was told it must be installed by a dealer. I found the cost of the Nuvo was many times the cost of htd products.
Initially, I was a bit nervous about self install, but the folks at htd literally walked me through the install, and it turned out to be very simple. I'm very glad I stumbled upon this company's line of products. I cannot be happier.

As a skeptic (as all engineers seem to be), I thought the reviews must have been written by a carefully selected team of HTD employees. After my purchase, I think the reviewers may even be under selling this product. It is GREAT!

We use it every day. Nothing like a little Radio Margaritaville piping through the house to make you forget winter. The system is rock solid, easy to use and sounds awesome.

The design is pretty open to techies like me to toy with. HTD staff (Mike S) answered all my questions, sent me drawings and even shared RS-232 decodes so I could write my own controllers. Wish all companies had that kind of interest in making their customers happy.

From any room in the house, I have my choice of streaming music from 2 Droids (Bluetooth), any TV or computer. Every room in the house will have TV audio for the upcoming SuperBowl and Hockey Playoff parties!

My wife never seems to grasp electronics that I set up. She figured this one out in no time. Only drawback is if she beats me home we have to listen to her music (for a while :)

If you are shopping for home audio, believe all the great reviews and buy from HTD.

The system is very simple and very direct. Thing I like the most about this system is that you are not bound by complicated useless items (at leat the system I got MC-66 with KC7 keypads). I hooked up two speakers in my master bedroom and one in stereo speaker in the master bathroom. Great sound. One more thing.......GRACE radio on this system is a must! Installer was very upset (had to change the wording) because he could not find nothing wrong with system....O well his lost my gain $$$$$$$.

I usually never rave about any products. But this one (MC66SET-KC7) is absolutely 100 percent what I was dreaming for last many years. I bough this big house about a year ago, which was pre-wired for in-ceiling speakers and wall controller with cat-5 wirings. So I started working on my own DYI project. Did a lot of research and was amazed by the variety of options available ranging upto several tens of thousands dollars. I was almost going to scrap on the idea. Bu then came across HTD, browsed their site bit too may times, the mid-level system was well under my budget, excellent reviews and honest support with the names of those people. I went ahead and bought it. First put the speakers on the ceiling (had to buy a circular saw on [...]) the speakers are so easy to install and the instructions are dumb-proof :) after I put those 12 speakers (6 zones) on, I terminated the cat-5 and installed the wall unit (Key-pads) this was even easier with the snap-in plates, also looked so precise and elegant on the wall. I was testing every zone by connecting to Onkyo, speakers sounded unreal. Believe me, I have speakercraft 7.2 in my living room and these speakers (HD-R80) were absolutely comparable with that. They looked fantastic on the ceiling too. I have big rooms so I went for the big speakers (HD-R80), it was well worth it. Connecting the amplifier and controller was easy, I connected the 2nd zone from my Onkyo to one of the input set up on the FM and then I connected my Apple Airport Express's output to another input on the controller. It was so much fun to put any music that we play on iPad or iPhone or iTunes by sending (Air Play) it to Airport express and then to HTD system. Guys.... this is one 'LETHAL COMBINATION' Apple Airport Express with HTD Mid-Level. You DO NOT NEED any other inputs. Your iPhone works as a remote using 'Air-Play'. I was never happier. I had a couple of questions and the tech support responded right away with the solution that worked first time. The whole deal is double packaged, speakers are taken care of so nicely that one have to be a neat-freak to pack like that. Love you guys. Thank you and I am planning to purchase another 7.2 from you in next few days :)

Product is sturdy and relatively easy to setup. Everything works as described. I put it in my new home and did all of the work myself. Only problem (which I did not expect) is that the system seems very underpowered. I am using it with HTD Multipurpose in-celing speakers as well as a pair of HTD outdoor speakers. When I read the description, I was under the impression it was a 40 watt system. My research suggested that this would be more than enough. In reality, it is 20 watts per channel, but is advertized as 40 watts per zone. I think this is a little deceiving as the other amps are listed by how much power they deliver per channel. I have to turn the zones to full volume to have a reasonable volume. It works ok inside as I mostly just want background music, but the speakers outside are not nearly loud enough. If I had known this on the front end, I would have upgraded at that time. Now I'm stuck having spent more than I needed for just a controller and will have to dish out more cash for a powerful amp.
