The Sony HTXT2 2.1 is exactly what I hoped it would be a full range audio system with sufficient bass response to eliminate the need for an external subwoofer. There's no doubt that a surround system with larger speakers would be more impressive, but all I wanted was a simple audio system that sounds good. The HTXT2 2.1 is just what I needed to boost the sound from my Sony TV, it synced perfectly with my Sony. The sound is clear and makes watching movies possible and listening to my music from YOUTUBE sound AMAZING. This is not meant to be a replacement for a Home Theater System. It does augment and complete your TV watching and music listening experience.

I knew I wanted this particular soundbar from the moment I saw it on the Best Buy website. As I upgrade my A/V systems at home, I am super conscious of space saving "big bang for the bucks" value - and the Sony HTXT2 fits the bill perfectly. Its a Sony and this soundbar (which should be named a "soundbase" exudes quality. I love the super simple interface, sturdy construction and heft, piano black finish and last but certainly not least - the SOUND! The base will easliy hold and support a large screen 65 to 70 inch TV, just make sure your TV's legs and feet are set in from the outside edge - I have a 39 inch Insignia TV with wide-set legs (25 inches) and the base is about 28 1/2 inches across so it fits perfectly with just enough room to spare - the "feet" of my TV are about an inch and a half from the edge on each side. I'm looking at an even larger screen TV for Christmas or Super Bowl and the models I am interested all have their bases/feet closer to the center of the TV which is perfect. I assume most folks will question the sound, especially the downward firing subwoofer. Rest assured, this soundbar is plenty loud, the downward firing sub is thunderous and takes a big wired subwoofer off of my floor WIN! This unit is compatible with the Sony bluetooth wireless surround speakers (Sony SRS ZR-5), which is fantastic BYE BYE WIRES! This thing is LOUD and the bass response is thunderous. Summary: Compact, elegant and delivering the goods on big hi-fi sound and didn't cost a fortune and I get to lose speaker wires and an external subwoofer box = WINNER!

Excellent product. It is loud, quick, a great speaker for the TV. Its better than my other sony sound bar with a subwoofer. This one does the same as my other one and sounds better. I was skeptical about the built in subwoofer but it sounds great. It comes with built in google cast but only for music. I wish it could stream videos to the TV as well. I recommend to anyone.
