Harman-Kardon HKTS1 - Manual (Page 7)

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker
wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics terminals have
corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. The (+)
lead of the speaker wire is noted with a
stripe. It is important to connect both
speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to
(+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker
to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and
a poor stereo image.
