    I replaced my aging sound bar with this one for reliability and being able to use my TCL TV remote to control it. Setup was easy and the woofers are incredible. I don't have a place for a separate sub woofer and the sound from this unit is incredible.

    I am really disappointed because I have aTCL TV and wanted to get the soundbar to complete my system set up. I had 2 delivered to me and they both would not power on. I did some research and turns out there are issues with internal power system. Its even more disappointing because I have the alto 7 and its awesome. They don't sell that model anymore and i don't want the 6.
