Voice Activated Smart Speaker

"Even with the magnificently boisterous Animal by Aurora, the Citation 300 keeps its composure and control in such a way as to ensure that it sounds very enjoyable." - 'Hi-Fi Choice - Recommended'
Stereo sound
This is the first speaker in the Citation range with stereo speakers as standard. They help give a more spacious and life-like sound than the smaller models and do full justice to recordings with prominent stereo effects. Powered by a 100 watt amplifier, the speakers get the drive they deserve with high, party-level volumes easily achievable.
Harman Kardon quality sound
World renowned for their premium home and in-car hi-fi systems, Harman Kardon have over 65 years of high-end audio experience. This immense knowledge is condensed into the Citation 300 for first-rate sound quality. As well as powerful bass, the Citation 300 uses 2-way speakers to deliver clarity and a full frequency response.
Pair up for even more immersive sound
Although the Citation already has stereo speakers built-in, you can make the sound even more immersive by paring up two speakers for even broader stereo sound. Ideal for larger rooms and higher volumes, twin speakers take the sound to whole new level.

Sleek, good looks
Using a premium wool blended fabric, made by Kvadrat, and rounded style the Citation 300 blends smoothly with your room. Available in black or grey the speaker is both distinctive and unobtrusive.
Built-in Google Assistant for voice support

Cool AirPlay speaker, without Alexa/Google apps!!!
I just wanted a good speaker that I can use as AirPlay speaker over the network, without being forced to use Alexa or Google solutions, just playing/stream over wifi from any device out of the box.
Turns out this speaker works nicely, iPhone found it immediately and set it up, and the sound is great, also some quality base coming out of it.
Probably having 2 of a kind would make it stereo, but this alone sounds good enough in the living room..

The product is great and sounds amazing
I went into store and talked about various items with a friendly and knowledgeable staff team member
I was greeted well and felt my custom was appreciated
The product was £75 cheaper than same product on line and came with a 6 year guarantee at no extra cost
I felt I had supported a local company and local people and jobs
We need to support independent retailers get down to richer sounds

Great Sound in a good sized Kitchen
It looks understated (how I like it, no frills) for what it delivers. Really pleased with the overall quality of sound, in a good sized kitchen for a variety of music tastes.

Sounds Great plus Airplay
Easy to set up but watch out for the system updating first time it connects to wifi, caused the app to crash but restarted it and was plan sailing from then. Connects to Apple Music flawlessly and as a bonus it also has Airplay which must be a new addition as Harman do not mention this in their literature

Perfect Google & YouTube Music integration
I wanted a premium speaker which has seamless Google Assistant and YouTube Music integration. There aren't many around. I found one and it has beautiful sound quality and looks great.

Simple, fantastic sound
I’m no audiophile expert but I listen to lots of music and am very fussy on the devices I choose to buy and listen to lots before making a purchase.This certainly hasn’t disappointed, easy set up, excellent sound, deep undistorted but not overpowering bass and more than loud enough to fill a room much bigger than my 6x6m lounge. To be honest I’d been looking to buy an equivalent bose product but this sounds so much better. Definitely considering a second one for elsewhere in the house

First big diffulties, after solution great
Everything works pretty well now when I finally got It connected to Google assistant. It had helped a GREAT deal if somewhere was said that the phones lanquage needs to be English before connecting is possible. I almost returned my Citation 300, so frustrating it was. Now however it works fine and the sound quality is great.

Great product
The product is excellent. It has intense and clean bass. Though, I think the stereo is not very clean due to the two speakers being too close to each other.
