Weak Vocals/ Extreme Dynamics
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hugely disappointed. Problem: Extremely weak vocals, poor mid-range, and extreme dynamics that are too loud. A $500 system should have separate treble/ mid-range/ bass controls.

- Pros mentioned:Bass
Perfect for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easiest set up was a little confused how to hook up two HDMI’s but got it working by looking at the manual lol. If you love bass, a lot of songs on this thing not even fully turned up made me go “dxmn” out loud, definetly reccomend if you’re not looking for overwhelming bass but enough bass to 100% satisfy a basshead!
