The TCL Alto 9+ Outshines Itself!!!
I purchased this 3 days ago because it was time for a change. I’m leaving a Samsung HW-K550, that I enjoyed for the past 4 years, behind. A complete 5.1 surround sound system, I had finally grew tired of tripping over the rear surround speaker wires. I was going to wait to post my review but, after watching The Greatest Showman, this TCL Alto 9+ takes the cake. Only $299.00 plus tax for just one sound bar and subwoofer. But, this isn’t just any old sound bar. With the Ray-Danz design, it produces a sound bubble that just envelops me and leaves me speechless. It sounded like I was right in the middle of the circus! Thanks to You Tube, I’ve watched at least 20 Dolby Atmos clips and each one had me looking to my left or right, looking for my former rear surround speakers. I know the sound is virtual but, one of the best parts about this Alto 9+ is that you can’t even tell you’re missing something. I’ve wanted Dolby Atmos since first hearing about it but, I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg to get it. With the TCL Alto 9+, I got the full bubble of sound I wanted and also saved a lot of coin in the process! Oh, and also, my music sounds like it got an upgrade, too. With Bluetooth connection, my iPhone 7+ never sounded better. If you are looking for an excellent sound addition to your home theater that doesn’t break your bank, I highly recommend you check this out! You won’t regret it.

Great sound bar as long as your settings are Dolby
I purchased this sound bar for multiple reasons. I was looking for something sleek and slim with good sound at a fair price. I was pleased with the packaging as well as the overall design of the unit. First impressions where nice but wasn’t blown away. However, since I use a PlayStation 4 for my media and entertainment hub, I forgot that there are settings in the PS4 menu to change sound to Dolby configurations. Once changed to Dolby 5.1 (lowest channel output on PS) this sound bar really shined. It’s very clear and crisp and can get very loud without distorting. My only complaint would be the subwoofers lack of clarity at higher volumes. Overall though, I am happy with this purchase. I’m giving 5 stars for good sound quality based on its price.

Big sound at a not so big price.
I'm very impressed with the quality of sound and loudness of such a small speaker and the sub has good bass. The price was good and it was a piece of cake to pair with the TCL smart TV.

I love it TCL made a good one.
I have done my fair share of review reading, comparing, Youtube videos, and I figured that if I have a problem with the Alto 9 it would be in the first few days so I could return it. I spent the first 3 days in my room on the tv with it on. Well let me tell you this, I LOVE IT! Tv setting is clear and you can hear the talking perfect. Movie mode is sweet and boost mode is awsome. Lets just say the bass from the sub shakes the house just right for me. (Not everyone else agrees) Overall it pairs excellent with my TCL 65S435 Class 4-Series TV. I would definitely recommend this soundbar. Oh yeah I have it connected via hdmi arc

A great little system but not much of a atmos punc
This is not a heavy weight in the Atmos department. But I knew that going in. I bought this because my HomePods won’t match up with the new tcl tv we got. That being said. It’s a great little system for what it is. I have it attached just below the tv and it will fill the room. The wireless bass is great.
