Great but if you want to link speakers get jbl

Pricey but excellent quality and sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to use as a tv speaker bar in the bedroom. TV sits far from the bed and if you have the fan or anything else on you've got to really crank up the tv to hear it, which means everyone is listening to it. Put this bad boy on the night stand and watch Netflix with barely any volume now. I really like the speaker options and easy Bluetooth connection to the tv. I'm not saying it's not worth the retail price, but it goes on sale for $100 off semi-regularly and that is a price that you shouldn't pass up for sure, if you are thinking about it.
