    Excellent sound quality. Plenty of power of a large room. Autocalibration enhances the quality of the sound. Not 5 stars only because there is no option to add rear speakers.

    Overall, a very good system with Bass very heavy (adjusted to my liking on 3) - The Atmos sound is very good - not all movies have. Have a semi vaulted ceiling and the calibration does work. Very pleased with purchase and maybe price point is high, but ok.

    Had an LG to match my tv. It often lost connection. Once I bought this I realized the sound quality and I have had two disconnects. The sound is booming! Don't setlle! Go for the brand that only makes speakers!
