Between those 3, the Studio 8. I assume it’s pretty close to the Studio 9 and I have two for stereo in my living room. Got them to replace a Bose SoundTouch 20 and I’m blown away with every new song I listen to in them. Go with the Studio 8.
Just bought 2 Harman Kardon onyx 8 speakers on eBay for 100$ a piece
Go for Harman without hesitation, Onyx 8👍
If you want it for home and garden: Onyx If you want to take it out of the house: Charge... But Onyx has far better sound. Its weaknesses are its lack of portability and battery life...
Same here, also bought my dad 2 as well when they went for $99. Coming from multiple high end car & home audio systems, it's almost impossible to beat for the price. Plugged in and running in stereo with the right separation distance is incredible.
2 Studio 8’s running in stereo Triples the sound in my opinion, just bought 5 for different areas of the house.
2 HK Onyx 7/8 paired together in stereo mode Nothing comes close in sound quality
I just bought the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8 on sale for $100 on their website. Best speaker for that price afaik.

I just bought two Studio 8 Harmon Kardans for $99 each ( Reg. $499. Each) their Bass is so Awesome & clear!
The Onyx Studio 8 is more balanced and has clearer mids.
onyx 8 vs 9? I have heard people complaining about the onyx 9 crossover and how onyx 8 is louder and more boomy at low volumes
