Check out this quote from the article found here: http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20091207/harman-kardon-gla55-speakers/
 
"Anyone in the know (or even the average clueless Joe on the street) will definitely rate Harman Kardon as above average compared to the other speaker solutions out there in the market, and they have good reason to believe so.

I could not spend that much on a HK PC speakers.  The speakers I have on my pc are the free ones you get from Dell. ;D

They look similar to my Blueroom Minipods (MSRP $480) which sounds fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if HK was able to design a good sounding set of speakers. They have made awesome speakers in the past (way in the past, but regardless...). Here's a pic of the bluerooms...
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.
