First of all , I would like to say I be not a audiophile . I use to install home theater as well as cable , so I be slightly more advanced than clueless when it come to a\/v . live in Florida , not many home be make to optimize a surround sound system . my home be very open , my living room have peak ceiling , and my entire house have a wood ceiling . I do not want to mess with the wood ceiling and put rear speaker in my home would not be feasible . but , the my stock tv speaker -lrb- along with all stock tv speaker -rrb- be terrible . I want to amp up my sound . know I be not go to have surround sound , and not want to throw down nearly $ 1,000 for a bose 3.2.1 system , I begin look at sound bar . I frequent best buy , HH Gregg , Sears , etc. check out the sound bar . many have wireless sub which I do like . other be setup so all the wire be go through the sound bar itself . again , I do not like that idea . I see this sound bar on the Daily Deal for $ 249.99 . after diving into review , there be two main complaint . First be the system do not produce true surround sound . to I , this should not be in any review . it be a sound bar . of course it do not produce true surround sound . the second complaint have something to do with run a 3d signal through the receiver which require a update that be hard to load . this do not pertain to I because my television nor any of my component be or ever will be 3d . so , I be sell on the review . I like the idea that this unit work have a receiver . all my component would run through the receiver just like any other receiver . I be skeptical about have the sub build into the receiver . I be not a huge fan of component be build into component -lrb- all-in-one htib - when one thing go , you lose everything -rrb- . I will update this review if I have any issue with it . I order the item on Monday with the normal free shipping . it arrive on Wednesday - that be gnarly . set up the system be very easy . it sound great . it 100 % do the job intend of better my tv speaker . movie , television , and video game be much more enjoyable . the music sound amazing . the remote look cheaply make , but it be a remote . the remote have a very simple design which be convenient for the technologically impaired . I be very pleased with this purchase . it sound great . I be stress the fact that I be not a audiophile and that this unit be only intend to compensate for my tv speaker . it go above and beyond what be expect . I hope this help !
