What reviewers say
Both find useful surround sound, easy setup and strong value. HiFiTest praises the build and convincing height effects in suitable rooms; ComputerBild finds the finish basic and overhead effects limited. ComputerBild recommends calibration and dialogue/bass adjustment, and switching off surround processing for stereo music.
