    Best bang for your buck, wait for it to go on sale, I purchased it for $400 well worth the money for this price. Came from a Klipsch sound bar and it is equally as good.

    A good system. Not amazing... but good. But, I feel as if I paid too much. I did shop around a lot before buying, but should have shopped a little more. Sound is better than many systems.

    If your looking for bass, look elsewhere. The soundbar is awesome but the lacking of bass made me return it.
