I purchased this soundbar ( from BesyBuy as I had a gift card )for my LG 55LW5600 TV. The sound from the TV is subpar, but that is expected nowadays, and I planned on purchasing an LG soundbar.What finally swayed me to this unit was the fact that you program it to read your tv remote so you have one less remote hanging around. I may get one of the universal remotes at some point but for now it was a selling point. I read some reviews and checked it out on the MFG's website and can say in all honesty it is exacty as decribed. The sound is not true surround sound but is absolutly wonderful, I live in an apartment and have to be aware of my neighbors so full blast is not an option. The most I've had this up to is about 25% and it is very loud with the wireless subwoofer. I'm not sure why it is not shown in the photo of the product but it is about 12" square and fits under my end table completely hidden. The bar itself, while a bit bulkier than some others on the market,...

Overall, I am pleased with the sound these speakers produce. They are very clearly superior to my television speakers. I can now stream music to my network enabled television and it is good quality stereo sound. The easy cabling, no need for a stereo receiver, and compact size are all terrific. These features and the fact that I purchased them with frequent flyer miles are what allows me to give this product a 4 star rating despite the problems.Now the problems/annoyances:Given the simplicity of this system, I thought it was going to be very easy to set up. It wasn't, but for reasons I did not anticipate. The grill came with a paper decal affixed to it. It was stuck on there so badly that it took me about 30 minutes to clean it completely. First I manually peeled, then I used a razor blade, then I finally cleaned with Goo-Gone. This was time wasted as you will see below.Programming would have been easy if you could easily get the speakers to...

I will review the second one I received as the first one had a faulty TOSLINK connector in the back and had to be exchanged.The main unit connected easily to the TVs' (an LG LW5600-series tv) digital optical audio out via the included TOSLINK cable and to the included DC power supply. The sub-woofer just needed to be plugged into a wall outlet. Both units worked immediately with no adjustment.Programming the sound-bar to accept volume commands from our remote was very difficult, with some settings accepted and some not. But that might have been due to the fact that the speak grill blocks the infrared receiver lens from any direction to the right of a direct perpendicular. The lens is slightly to the left of the buttons on the front-right of the unit. If the remote is on a straight line in front of, or to the left, of the lens, then the remote works. However, the grill blocks the signal from the remote if even slightly off-center to the right. Imagine...

Boston Acoustics TVee Model 30 Soundbar Review
Jun 02, 2011 | The Green Monster of SoundbarsWe can put a man on the moon but we can't put metal in the microwave . - Frasier Crane
One of the negatives about being a technology reviewer is that friends and family constantly ask me for advice in regard to products. It has become so ridiculous that I was recently asked while standing in front of the congregation of my synagogue reciting a prayer over the Torah, if I thought Bose made better loudspeakers than Polk Audio. Standing before G-d makes me nervous as it is (I suspect he saw me steal that Vachon cake when I was 7), so I ignored such an idiotic question and finished praying. When it was my turn to return to my seat (I sit in the row closest to the food), the questioner looked at me and said "So Nu? Which One?" As tempted as I was to respond with a line from Airplane ( "That's right, I had the lasagna."), I bit my lip and Read more »

i last checked groceries I bought there. go with the Bostons.
which is better clarity and musicality? Boston vs JL audio amplifier for non sub speakers. I dont play rap.?
Aug 29, 2007 by Be responsible towards othersI am also looking for sound quality as my main interest vs loudness in speakers Boston Accoustic pro 60/ Zs vs JL vs Alpine vs Infinity Kappa Perfect vs .... I have not been able to find the Infinity perfects yet. Any clear favorite in Head Units for durability, customer service and sound quality? Thank you
For an amp, check out Zapco. They may be a little more expensive than your real big name stuff, but they have incredible quality and do as many or more watts than they say they do, unlike a lot of amps out there. As for your speakers, Zapco also makes some great speakers, especially their comp line, but some of the stuff you said is good too. BA, JL, and the Infinitys will all make great systems.
Personally I have a Zapco DC 1100.1 Amp hooked up to 4 Infinity Kappa Perfect subs, and they are like freakin loud, yet still have super great SQ. They hit hard, accurate, and clear. For speakers, I also have the Infinity Kappa Perfect 5-1/4" component systems, and they sound really nice, but as always, there is better stuff out there than that. I have those hooked up to a Crossfire XP 600.4. But man, the tweeters that come with that Kappa Perfect component system can scream like no other if you want them to. It all sounds great.
As for your deck, there are a lot of great things out there. Check out Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, and even Sony. But in my car, I got a Sony CDX-M1000TF and it is awesome. It has very nice sound control and options, but the pest part about it is the display. It has a big, wide crystal clear LCD screen that plays great images, visuals, and even predownloaded videos. It also has the very best menu options I have ever seen in a deck. It is super simple to understand and looks very, very good. The screen is really big, cuz the head unit itself only has like 4 buttons on it and 2 switches, everything else is done on a remote which is really cool. I highly recommend it. And if you can find one, it shouldn't be that expensive- last week I found one on Ebay for a buy it now of $90. Great deal for a deck of that quality.
Here is a YouTube video showing it off. The camera they use in it is super crappy, as you will probably tell, and does not do this beautiful deck any justice. But, if you watch it, you should get the basic idea of what this deck can do.
