A:Answer The soundbar gives out much more volume than you would have any right to expect from it given it's size. However, the quality is also greatly enhanced, particularly in cinema mode. For the money, give it a try. You can always return it, but I don't think you will. I was astounded at how much clearer the sound is and the depth of the bass from such a small speaker. It's not a home theater system, but you know that, so manage your expectations accordingly.
