this sound system rock ! I do not want a whole bunch of speaker all around my apartment and so , after search for quite some time , i settle on this two piece system . the bass do blue-ray film justice and after set the center speaker on the bar to 5 and the bass to 0 it work like a charm ! if you crank up the woofer to 3 or 4 the place be go to shake , which be awesome if you own you own home , but not so good if you live in a apartment . I happen to live in a studio and setting 1 on the woofer be perfect for I .
