Amazing Value Soundbar

I have a Bose Soundtouch 130 system in my living room that I paid $1600 for a few years ago. IMHO, she's as good as it gets. That being said, I bought two TCLs for my bedroom and office through Woot! with big discount. Even if I paid the full $199, that's an amazing price for a wonderful soundbar. If you're looking for lots of inputs and features like my Bose, this isn't your soundbar. If you're looking for decent features and audio and video quality, this soundbar is hard to beat. Read the specs to know what you're buying. Some of the reviews I've read suggest that some buyers didn't do this and were then "surprised" later. You get good frequency response from 40Hz to 20,000kHz, and the built-in subwoofers produce plenty of bass. Dialogue is clear and easy to hear. Large system performance with 200W. A few quick notes. The built-in Fire and Alexa stick are great features. The remote control is versatile and functional. Installation is simple and easy. You get three sound modes: Movies, Music, and News - you can't customize the sound any further. but I found the presets to be well calibrated and sound great. Bluetooth is a good feature. - HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel). If your TV also has this, any other devices (Blu-ray, XBox, Satellite, etc.) you connect to the TV will stream audio over TCL. nice feature. If your TV doesn't have HDMI ARC, you're limited. Overall, this is a very good soundbar, delivering 4K Fire Stick video, Alexa, and powerful sound quality. I am blown away by the features, quality and performance of this soundbar at an amazing price. I would definitely buy them again.
