    Better bass than the TV alone. Was plug and play for everything except my Sat receiver. Can't get sound from that. I am sure I just need to tweak something.

    I like this sound bar, but for whatever reason I feel like my 3.1 was way better sounding. It’s getting the job done for now.

    Not worth the money, definitely unsatisfied

    I was looking for a sound bar that would give the theater experience. I was a Originally wanting the JBL 9.1 sound bar but they didbt have it in stock. So i settled for this since its half the cost. I was excited to get it set up. Once i didnt i will say it has a good bass to it but thats it. The sound from the bar seems to be lacking alot of potential considering it costed $600. Im over all not happy with this. I feel like for the amount of money i paid for this i would get a better sounding bar. Ive have much cheaper bars that sounded much better then this. The bass its self hit hard but it kinda drowns out the bar since the bar its self doesnt pack much of a punch. I was expecting so much more from this and ill say its not worth the money i paid. When i was checking it out they didnt have much of a demo for it but the 9.1 had a amazing demo which thats the sound i wanted. Im definitely unsatisfied becauee you can get the same quality from a cheaper sound bar with sub. Definitely dont reccomend.
