Unbelievable
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is an absolute game changer. With the condition that you have the rear speakers for it. Absolutely have to have the rears and the subwoofer. If you do, you will be one happy couch potato.
