Good for What It Is
|
I bought the Boston Acoustics TVee Speaker to pair with my Panasonic TH-50PX75U which I put in our bedroom. It's a great no-fuss solution to add full sound without having to run wires everywhere (a must in the bedroom).
The soundbar is a simple and clean design that fits well with the black colored tv. I have it sitting on a shelf right underneath the plasma. From taking it from the box, to setting it up and operating it with the remote took 5 minutes. BA got that part right for sure. Soundwise, it is clear and crisp, and decent bass from the woofer. It's not full surround, so if that it what you are looking for, don't buy this. But for this price range, there isn't anything comparable that gives you a solid upgrade over the small underpowered speakers of a flat panel display. Being able to program your tv remote to control the TVee Speaker is a huge bonus. Mine programmed exactly as the instructions said. That being said, there are two quirks that can be a little annoying:
1. If you manually control the volume using the volume buttons on the soundbar, or use the ones on the tv, the volume could get out of sync with the remote (e.g, the tv thinks the volume is turned down all the way, when it's not on the bar). The easiest way to control for that is to either a) make sure your speakers on the tv are turned off, or b) always use the remote to control volume
2. I find you have to be within a range of 10 feet or so in order for the remote to control the volume of the soundbar. The remote works the tv anywhere I am in the room, but only the soundbar if I am within the 10 ft radius. Since I sit in bed 12 feet away, I have to lean forward to control the volume.
Pros:
- Great look (for the soundbar)
- Solid sound for movies and tv
- wireless sub woofer allows you to hide it easily (needs to be plugged in)
- 100 watts of power, so good for medium sized rooms
- Very easy set up
- Uses your TV remote, so don't have to add another remote to your collection
- Powers on and off with the TV, so don't have to turn something else on
Cons
- Remote quirks (see above for details)
- Subwoofer looks like an upside down trash can (but I hide it under the bed so not a big deal)
Over all, I think it's a solid performer for the class, and a great solution for better sound than the tv for medium rooms. I wouldn't get this for my home theater room, that requires something more powerful and full surround capability.
