I can hear words now!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been cranking it up too loud for too many years. Was having trouble understanding what people were saying when the volume dropped. With this speaker along with the floor speakers I can understand the words again. Also great for music, helps bring the vocals out more.
