What reviewers say
Both praise enveloping surround and height effects and strong value, but find bass can overwhelm music and finer details. Clubic finds the plastic construction basic and controls awkward. Homes & Gardens hears inconsistent vocal balance; its sample lacked the remote, so it could not test EQ adjustment or calibration without a compatible TV.
