Great speaker system
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker system. We replaced the standard 7.2 system with this bar. The center speaker was mounted at the same height as the bar needed to be placed, and the rest of the speakers and subwoofer are gone, giving us a lot more space. The system sounds great.

Great Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t understand why a few people gave this bar a bad rating. I agree that it’s not cheap. However the setup and sound is fantastic! And if it was a sound issue, either they didn’t know how to setup or their TV is not compatible. Summary- This is a great sound bar!

Sounds great to me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great clear robust sound. If you want to hear exactly what people are saying this sound bar fits the bill. It would help if there was a way to tell the level of the setting. Sometimes I increase the level and it all of a sudden blasts out. I can’t tell how much I am adjusting the sound level.

Great sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, the atmos does fill the room. I did enhance the sound with the Bass and rear speakers (lower model). The only problem is that my Sony TV is from 2021 and so I can't fully control the speaker bar settings. Bought it all on sale so I mark the value higher than I normally would.
